I hadn't even thought of making a new coupon for March! It would of course have to be a special that was out of your pocket instead of the companies...but I would definately give a new recruit a gift when they qualify! Those 2000 points for the trip would be worth it! 
The Executive Small Saute Pan for $38.00. When I figure my discount it would be $26.60. PLUS I would get points towards my Executive Cookware!! WOW Double Bonus!! 
Scoring 5 leads from one cooking show means that you have successfully identified five potential customers who expressed interest in Pampered Chef products during the event. These leads can be individuals who showed enthusiasm for the products, asked questions, or indicated they would like to learn more.
To effectively follow up with your leads, reach out to them within 24-48 hours after the cooking show. Personalize your message by referencing something specific from the event, such as a product they liked. Offer to answer any questions they may have and provide additional information about the products they showed interest in.
If some leads don't respond to your follow-up, don't be discouraged. It's common for people to be busy or forget to reply. Consider sending a gentle reminder a week later, or try reaching out through a different method, such as a phone call or a text message. Keep your tone friendly and low-pressure.
Yes, you can convert these leads into sales by nurturing the relationship and providing value. Share product recommendations based on their interests, offer exclusive promotions, or invite them to future cooking shows. Building rapport and trust is key to turning leads into loyal customers.
Hosting another cooking show is a great way to engage your leads further! You can invite them to attend as guests or even encourage them to host their own shows. This not only allows them to experience more products but also creates a fun and interactive environment that can lead to more sales and bookings.
