Ok. I messed up potentially. I had several good leads from a booth event I did 3 1/2 weeks ago blushing. But I never got a chance to follow-up with anyone! School started, Hockey started, Scouts started....YIKES! It's been a crazy couple of weeks. And by School/Scouts starting- you need to understand (1) I'm the teacher, and (2) I'm a Scout Leader who helps run a pack of almost 90 boys, and I'm the Popcorn Kernel, and that's starting too! (Where I'm going tonight). So trying to fit in my PC business into an already packed schedule has been a bit back-burner lately. I never really had a great system to begin with, so that didn't help.
SO, my question is, what would you say if almost a month has passed since you contacted them? I did send a Thank You email to everyone (personalized) within 3 days of the event, plus they've received 1-2 newsletter/special emails from my regular newsletter list...so they've been "Touched" a few times. A couple of them, I did "special favors" for (finding recipes, etc). But I don't want to appear like a loser who just didn't bother to call. Would you say anything? Or just treat it like any other call?
This is my cycle. I get a jump-start, but have no follow-through. I'm trying to change, but I'm struggling finding that harmony between my business and everything else in life. I get panicked thinking that even if I did find time to make the calls, if I got bookings/shows on my calendar, how on earth would I fit it all in?! As it is, when you have only 2-3 nights at home with NOTHING going on, you don't want to give that precious time up. It's a double-edged sword/battle in my brain. I want business, but I'm afraid of the increased workload burying me for good. Ugh.
Just help me with the wording, I'm working on the rest. I am studying Belinda Ellsworth "Power Hour" strategy and her Step Into Success program. Hoping that gives me fresh workable ideas.
