Has This Happened to You Before?

[utopianaurora]

So i work at a candy store, a five and dime to be exact, and i was just hanging out during this mini festival, i was kind of bummed because i didnt get to set up a booth because it was smaller scale and no "booths" were there. It was more of sidewalk sale. So anyways, i was working a 9 1/2 hour shift, and a customer came up and was checking out, nothing out of the usual but she asked if i had any plastic containers like the ones that we throw away, i said no i don't , but i just took one from work and made a entry box with pictures for my pc business, and such on it. (a free cooking show bin for entry forms) she got a huge grin and said wow! you sell pampered chef! I said yes.. she said wow you dont seem like a sales person but you are really nice, i want one of those citrus things that reverse the citrus, here is my number call me tomorrow and let me know how much!

Then later in the day, my insurance agent came in. She browsed the store, and when she came to pay she asked what i was up to these days and during telling her what i do i mentioned pc. She said really! I have been looking for a consultant for months! I want to do a show before december and one next year for my bridal shower, can you do this for me!? I said of course, i would love to, she is a great woman. She said that she would call me this next week, but to keep in touch with her.

The towards the end of my day, my friend alfonso came in, he said that he had talked to his friend, and that she was so excited about having a party that she would come and pick me up and take me home if she had to!(which she wouldnt cause i drive) But she was saying even if i had no car she would come get me!

So even though i was bummed i got a potential order, and two likely shows
I didnt even have to do anything the pc name sells its self! I was really getting down from no bookings but hey this is better then none

I AgreeYeah, i am in my ss2, and had a maybe cat show and a maybe booking, then this brightened my day, i just need to get out there and chat it up! I am attaching my other pc pin to my school bag, think of the exposure! I am NOT a sales person, i mean sure i can be but i would rather have people be excited about what i am selling ya know? I am just a relay person I know it takes work, but wow PC really does sell its self, the name has a prestige to it.

But yes i feel a ton better, and have gotten the pep in my step back.

Amber,That's great! One word of advice - don't wait for them to call you! People always have the best intentions of calling, but seldom really get around to it - so be proactive and call them to get the date on your calandar!!!
They sound excited - and I know they will book - just make it your job to get the date!

Isn't it cool how our business just takes off when people either know that your a consultant or if you have a catalog bag or a shirt that say's PC on it!!! Congrats on getting your bookings and order!!!
