Hi everyone!

You have all been great listening and helping through discouraging times with PC. Now I want to make sure I tell you what is helping me out of this latest and biggest slump.

Although I promised myself I would not buy any speaker material at conference no matter how good they were, I went against my promise and bought the "Go for No" package on line after I heard these two speak.

With my new vehicle, I have a working CD player and had over an hour drive yesterday (one way). Also I have been listening to the CD's on my way to and from work.

They are helping me trememdously! So I am starting to try to track some of my no's and finding out where some of my weak areas are. Some I knew and some I think I will be suprised with.

Will let you know if my tracking form I made up works for me will share if I can get it to help me.

Thanks for listening and supporting! Hoping to not be droning on as much!!!!!!
 
Looking forward to hearing the progress and results.
 
Glad you are happy with your investment. I've never heard the program, so appreciate the positive feedback!

Jolie, I think this will be more of an exercise in "awareness". I am tracking several aspects about what I am actually doing and comparing it with I THINK I am doing!! Keeping myself honest with my business.

So at this party, although I sent out the guest list, it came back with just names so I could not send out invitations. Although I did host coach after I received the list, I am finding out that I should have been host coaching her before when she had received the list.

I host coached her to call all of her contacts before the party but there is no reassurance that she is doing this. I will do a reminder call through post calls but no information was provided.

Five people showed up. Mom, the past host and her boyfriend, a niece and a family member from the husband's side of the family.

I did give a good recruiting speel but did not do the full service checkout. The past host told me she wants to rebook. Notes were made on what I showed with sauces that her BF liked.

With this I need to see for myself the areas where I need to target for improvement. IMO, my business has become a bit sloppy and I need to track all of my results and not just look at the successes.

I have been sloppy and lazy and those results are showing up. Now it's fall and I'm determined to do better... fresh start!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is "Go for No" and how does it relate to direct sales?

"Go for No" is a sales philosophy that encourages individuals to embrace rejection as a part of the sales process. In direct sales, like with Pampered Chef, it emphasizes the importance of seeking out 'no' responses to build resilience and improve overall sales performance. By changing the mindset around rejection, salespeople can increase their confidence and ultimately achieve better results.

How did "Go for No" help you out of a slump?

Can you share a specific example of how "Go for No" worked for you?

What strategies can I use to implement "Go for No" in my Pampered Chef business?

To implement "Go for No" in your Pampered Chef business, start by setting specific goals for the number of conversations you want to have each week, regardless of the outcome. Create a list of potential customers and reach out to them without the pressure of making a sale. Celebrate each 'no' as a step towards your goals, and keep track of your progress to stay motivated.

How can "Go for No" improve my overall mindset in sales?

Adopting the "Go for No" philosophy can significantly improve your mindset by reducing the fear of failure and rejection.
