Any good ideas? I want this trip next year. but i really need to work at it to make it happen. I have a very hard time booking at shows. I call and i calland sometimes i get a booking but other than that it is very low right now. I need this trip. PLEASE HELP.
 
Call back your people and start asking for referrals. Get out of your house and meet new people. Take your kids to the park or a new park or at a different time. Visit the library. Always were PC logo wear. Find and sign up for a booth every month until your schedule starts to look like what you want it to. Here is a breakdown that you can reference to keep yourself on track. EVERYONE can earn a trip!! If you think you can't, you can't! If you believe you can, you WILL! Which belief system will you give a hold in your brain?!

Yes, I would love to hear others' plans. I remember crunching numbers last year and feeling that level 3 (this year's 2) was pretty achievable. This year, with the few minor changes, it feels so impossible, I'd love to get inspired and motivated with some of your CAN DO plans!

Thank you for the breakdown. Before any of the trips really seemed out of reach. No matter how much I wanted to achieve one, I didn't think it could be possible.

This breakdown makes it doable and I can't wait to share it with my team.

Thank you again!
 
This will take much work but it is able to be done.

First, focus on your business and determine what needs to be done.

Work your business EVERY DAY!!!

I call customers anywhere between 9 am and 9 pm and would only hesitate to call on Christmas Day (or if I knew of a family emergency, of course). Working full time takes many hours out of my days, but I then take any and all training on CC. I will listen to CD's or tapes by Belinda Ellsworth, Tammy Stanley, Julie Anne Jones, Karen Phelps, Ileen Meckley...oh there are so many more... but keep YOUR self armed with tools to help you with any challenges you are facing. When I am alone in the office later in the day, I try to have one of these playing on my computer while I finish up.

The one thing that I have determined that will tear down ANY consultant's business is self-doubt, negativity and the blame game. This and phone-a-phobia.

The above paragraph is the pixie dust and the secret to being successful! Ok...gotta run and take my own advice!! The 3-2-1 formula will bring you the trip incentive. If 3 contact a day are not enough, then double that until you get what you need to succeed. Tammy Stanley has some wonderful wording for leaving messages that bring success!
 
Laurie, you're welcome. However, like I said I didn't create the document!! I LOVE being part of Duska's team even if it is only hospitality.
