How Many Shows Booked July/August?

[pamperedgirl3]

I just booked another one for July at tonight's show! That makes 4 for July (three for the week after conference--hoping my enthusiasm gets me more bookings & recruit leads!). But I don't have any August yet--although I do have a few people I need to call about for then. Plus I have last year's hosts to call.

 

[Christ Follower]

I have 5 (maybe 6) for July and a big fat 0 for August!
On the plus side, two of my July shows are the week before conference! (July 5th & 6th) And, 1, two days after I get back from conference!
Hopefully August will do okay. Everyone familiar with PC wants to wait for the new catalog.

I'm not going to post this time. I posted for June and it all fell apart, so I'm keeping my numbers for July to myself!!

 

[smspamperedchef]

So far 7 cooking shows for July--not bad considering after conference I will be gone 1 week on vacation with DH. 2 cooking for August.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I leave for SDD wedding on the 5th come back on the 9th and then gone for Conference from 11th-15th. Have one show end of June (dated for July) before I leave and then 8 more after I get back!

 

[smspamperedchef]

Just 1 at the very end of July. My career with PC is starting so slowly. I am really kind of discouraged.

Oh well. I will keep on going.

Erika

Don't get discouraged! When is/was your FIRST show? Get on the phone and get everyone all excited about the Pampered Chef! Your enthusiasm will get everyone wanting to do shows with you!

 

[angmillar]

I have 3 in July, 2 in August, 2 in September, and 2 in November all ready.

We're going to the states for a month (Aug 10 - Sept 8), and I'm defintely going to round up a couple of friends to shows in the states for me, too!

Yesterday was a banner day where my July numbers went up quite a bit. For July I have 6 cooking shows and 4 catalog shows. August I have 2 Cooking Shows for sure, another maybe in the wings. I'm sure I'll get a bunch more because of those knives!!!

If you're looking for people to call for bookings....here's an idea. Once your July is where you want it to be and you want to start booking lots for August, do a report from PP and pull up everyone who has purchased any piece of the forged cutlery collection. Call them and tell them about the FABULOUS host special in August. And let them know they have the chance to get two brand new pieces at 60% off that aren't even in the catalog until September!! Then you can call them back after conference and tell them what those two pieces are (as well as all the other new products). Take it a step further and even call everyone who has purchased the self-sharpening knives. Ask them if they'd like to upgrade to a couple pieces of our top-of-the-line cutlery and get them at 60% off!! You're sure to generate some bookings! Good luck!!

Right now, 2 cooking shows, 3 catalog shows in July, 1 cooking show in August. Not anywhere near enough, but I have spent 0 time setting them up. If I can ever get an evening without some kiddo activity that I have to attend I could get something done!

July
3 Cooking Shows
1 Fundraiser
2 Catalog Shows

August
NOTHING! Gotta work on that.

But I do have a few people interested in September!

 

[jenniferknapp]

I have 1 catalog show and 5 cooking shows for July.... oh, and my open house this weekend will be submitted as July if it doesn't get me the $800 I need to go to the next level for June.....Then I think I need to take a few months of just 1-2 shows a month before I decide to quit or something!

 

[PamperedBrandy]

2 cooking for July ( I need to get on the phone today, I'd like to get 2-3 more) and 1 cooking, 1 catalog and one possible catalog for August.

I just picked up another July show today when I took my son in for his physical. I asked the office manager about having a "corporate express" office show. She immediately said - you need to talk to our luncheon scheduler- tell her i said to put you on the schedule. She said the pharm reps do luncheons for them all the time. And they would love to have someone come cook for them.

Gee, thats all I had to do was ask! Now why didnt I do that a long time ago!

On my schedule for next week is to call all my docs offices and see if they would like to do the same thing!

Thanks for that tip! I just moved a few months ago, and have been trying to figure an angle into offices like that...I guess I should just ask! LOL I've been making it more difficult than it should be!

You getting a bit overwhelmed?

 

[katie0128]

In July, I have...
1 catalog fundraiser
5 cooking shows
1 cooking show fundraiser...

7 show at $450/show = JULY SELL-A-THON!!!! Considering I don't have ONE show for June, I'm extatic. August is getting there, but not where I want yet... of course with all the July shows, I'm hoping that will help with August!

Don't get discouraged! When is/was your FIRST show? Get on the phone and get everyone all excited about the Pampered Chef! Your enthusiasm will get everyone wanting to do shows with you!

My first show was last Friday. I invited 50 people (I printed 50 invitations and distributed all of them, so it may have actually been more than that) and only 6 of my closest friends showed up. I had no RSVPs. I did get 1 booking. That was for July 28.

I have also scheduled an open house in my subdivision. I distributed 120 flyers to every home in the neighborhood for an open house yesterday and Saturday. No one RSVP'd. No one came yesterday. I am still trying to be optimistic for Saturday.

I have called everyone that I know and have even had friends ask me not to discuss PC with them because they would not be interested in hosting. The phone calls have been hard because I am really shy about it.

I have been extremely enthusiastic. At my show last week, my friends said that my enthusiasm and love for the products really shined through. I did not join PC because I NEED the money. I joined because I love the products and want them all! I try to make other people want them too.

Sorry this is so long. I just wanted to make sure that I thoroughly responded.

Erika,

Whenever I've done my own shows (I've done two mystery host shows) - I always make sure and call everyone I haven't heard from - often people really do forget - they put the invite down and come across it after the party. I've had people who say I knew I couldn't come but I still want to order something. Often times it's just a bad date for them and they usually express interest in future shows.

As far as open houses - I think when people don't personally know you - that they may be hesitant to go to a stranger's house. Do you know any of your neighbors who might be willing to host a show?

Good job on getting your one booking - host coach the heck out of her and have her invite a lot of people. Good luck! Hang in there - it does get easier

 

[cheferikab]

Part of my reason for having the open house this week was that I don't know anyone. I just moved here about a month ago and I haven't met any neighbors yet.

I am working back through my list of 100 today to see if I have missed anyone.

I'm still trying!

HI - Would you mind giving me some insight into what your flyer said? :> would love to know..I'm about to do something similar...for end of July..

 

[angmillar]

I just picked up another July show, so now I have 4. One gal wants to book August, but I'm only here until August 11th, then headed to the states for a month. So, she may wait until October to do a Halloween themed show.

I still have 2 in September and 2 in November. 1 maybe in October.

I did get $3000 in June, so YAYAYAYAY!!

I'm pleased considering I just started in late April! Of course the gal I signed up under PCSed (moved for you non-military folks), so most of my June bookings were from her shows.
