I'm doing the happy dance. I had an HO lead online order this summer for $165 incl. the DCB. Thankfully she provided an address and e-mail. I sent the DCB baker recipes along with a note saying "next time you want to order over $150, let me know and you'll get a discount" and I added her to my e-mail list. Got an e-mail from her today requesting a show in Nov. for holiday shopping. It's great to have a host who really WANTS to do a show!

This helps offset the very few leads that I got at the Home & Garden show over 3 days this weekend. Won't be doing that booth again.
 
good for you. customer care does make a difference. send that story off to HO - sure they'd love to share it.
 
Congrats on the great lead!
 
How do you qualify for online order leads? I got an order this week from someone I don't recognize, but I also didn't think I qualified for these leads.

You have to be a TL, have sales of $1250 3 out of the 4 previous months and 1 recruit within the same timeline. You can see if you are eligible by checking the box on the upper right side of CC's corner main page.
 
That's what I thought - I'm not eligible .. so this must mean this person found my website somehow!! I'm in Vermont, she's in Florida!
