First Holiday Fair Success: Orders, Catalogs & Bookings - Dana's Story

[dldunphy]

Hi!

I had my first Holiday Fair and it was a huge success! I received enough orders for a show, handed out about 75 catalogs, received about 10 leads for bookings.


Thanks!
Dana

Awesome job, where was this that you handed out 75 catalogs??? Also, anything special on getting orders? I am not a good closer whne it comes to getting their sales while i am at expos

Thanks! I was at a craft show and just handed them out to just about everyone who stopped by my table and said how much they love pampered chef. I had them fill out the door prize slips for a "show in a bag". The orders that I got were from people who were looking for the pc table so they could order.

I did some follow up calling last night, didn't go very well, I either got their voicemail (I did leave messages) or asked to call back after the holidays. No solid bookings, yet. I was afraid to call (I don't like talking on the phone and I am afraid of rejection) but I made myself get over it. I want to make this business a success and the only way is to get over my fears and take a big step.

Hi Dana! Congratulations on your successful Holiday Fair! It sounds like you had a great turnout and were able to generate a lot of interest in your products. Keep up the momentum and follow up with those leads for bookings. Great job on handing out so many catalogs as well - that will definitely help spread the word about your business. Keep up the great work and happy selling!
