Hello all....I need your advise. I am going to call my director on Monday too to talk to her.

So I had to reschedule my open house that was supposed to be today because I am sick and I am hoping that people will be able to make it on Tuesday but I still only have 1 person saying that they can come. So I am really worried about that. I did have people say that they were interesting in placing orders online but they haven't done that yet. I really wanted to get my business off to a great start but I am just not knowing if that is going to happen.

I don't know what to do because I don't know that many people here (all the people I know are up North, where I have my 2nd show). I really wanted to qualify in my first month but I am quite worried about that.

I am going to call my friend who was a "maybe" and see if she can please do a show for me to help me. And then also call my brother, but he lives an hr away and see if he or his gf is willing. Its like PC has such great products why are people avoiding me like I'm the plaugue? (haha I know I have it right now with my cold but ya haha)

I am also going to put up these flyers in laundromats and grocery stores in my area and also hand out invites to my neighbors but I really hope that this will ensure my business to get off to a good start.

Does anyone have any other suggestions? I am gonna also have my DH give invites to his co-workers but we live an hr away but we will be moving there and they might want to buy online from me and maybe book a show later. I don't know.

Help!!
 
Make sure you give your husband a few catalogs and order forms in case anyone wants to order but can't make it to the show.

Do you have PWS yet? If so send invites to people from PWS for the open house.

Have you made the list of 100 yet?

Getting the business off the ground can take a little while. The hardest thing for me is picking up the phone and remembering that people are not doing me a favor - I"m offering them a great opportunity to get good quality products for free.
 
As your calling these people, ask them to please bring a friend since your starting your biz. When we're the host, we have to do everything we ask our hosts to do, including doing reminder calls. Hang in there!
I would definately ask family to do a show for you; then you'll get bookings off their shows.....the beauty of our host program is it's so great, you don't feel like you have to beg people to do shows--they want to because PC is so great to hosts.
Good luck:)
