When I first started as a consultant back in September, I got an opportunity to work a booth shift at a major home show. I had several contacts from that- of course, being new, and scared to pick up the phone (still am), I never contacted them- except via mail when I sent catalogs and a "Thank you for stopping by" letter. I have only heard from one since then (back in December) and she placed an order.
But I'm wondering- is it too late to contact these others? I'm thinking about sending the new mini-catalog first, and then follow up maybe a few days or a week after they'd have gotten the mini. Maybe that would refresh their memory about having met a Pampered Chef lady somewhere. I doubt they'll remember much more than that. I may put a hand-written card/note in there to help.
What do you think? My contacts are limited for contacting folks for shows. I had a few good leads that I just wasted by not following up. Most were just registering for a free prize, but a few really liked the stuff (or were former consultants! - DUH on my part!~).
