Ok this just blows my mind. My Fed Ex driver has changed again, which is a good thing. No more 10 PM deliveries.
So today the guy knocked on the door. (not always does he knock). So I open the door and he says oh someone is home today. He picks up the box ( it is my supply order) and he says do you sell Pampered Chef? I said yes I do. He asked if it was good, do you do well. I said it is GREAT and I'm going into my 9th year of selling. I love it. He said well I have been seeing all your deliveries and figured you do well. I told my girl friend she should do this. I said well she should, would you like a catalog? I mentioned too that right now we have an awesome incentive to start your own business with us. So I grabbed him a book and Take action flyer. He said I knew one day I would catch you home to ask.
He then told me where they were from. ( they are 40 min North of me). He says jokingly so she won't be hurting your business. I said she wouldn't be even if she was my neighbor.

How awesome would this be?? You just never know. This made my day.:D

Or as my DH just put this....
Maybe he is just a stalker and now has all my info. Home phone, email. He then said he was just joking and hopes it works out.

That would so be my husband!
 
Oh wow; I got goosebumps when I read this (about the potential lead, not the potential stalker :)). This is a great story to share at a show....really, who else but the FED-EX guy is a true impartial observer of how successful this business really is?!
