Hows Everyone Doing for January?

[baychef]

Just returned from my first party of 2009 and I hope it is an omen of what is to come for the rest of the year!! When I left her party she was at $1002 and has at least 6 more that want to order.arty:

No bookings or recruit leads however.:cry: There were a ton of people there that I don't think the host expected to show up!

I really did not expect that it would have been such a huge party!arty:

Wow! Congratulations Ann!! That is a great party!

I'm hoping that my party tonight will reach the $1000 level. She's at $771 right now with a few people to follow up with. My first party of the year was at $300 or so when I left and my host was not thrilled about collecting outside orders, but slowly she got a few small ones. I asked her if she asked the previous host and she said no (can you believe it?!). Anyway the previous host orders over $100 worth of products and now her party is over $600! I am so happy. I wish they were all hitting $1k, but I'll be happy if they are all at least $500. Happy, but not doing the happy dance.

I am getting really discouraged! I had ANOTHER bad show tonight! My first show of the month was great...just around $800. Every show since then has been crummy!

Tonights show is at $87. Only a February Catalog show booking (she said she would "try" to collect $150).

I am praying my show next week will be better so I can snap out of this funk I am in.

Congrats Darcy and Ann!! THat's fantastic!!
Congrats everyone for holding ourselves accountable and checking in here!

My team is well um, mia as well. Or should i say that they're here, just working in the last week of the month! THat's okay, I can't wait to see if we make it or not!!

For me, I have turned in $505 in sales and still have a $400 catalog party here that is closing tonight, 2 shows next week and a fair to do today. I really hope to do at least $2500 myself between all of these events and that leaves everything to be @ $500 in sales. My team has submitted $210 so here's to more coaching tomorrow!!!

Good luck everyone!

Hey, I know how you feel. This party put a spark in my PC attitude, but I have been the Queen of Bad Funks myself too. Keep trying to get out of the funk BEFORE your party next week. I know it is hard. My only piece of advice is "fake it till you make it". Get on the phone if you can but before you do...pretend you are going on stage and come across confident. Then if someone says no...you have to try to be like our triple coated Dupont autograph non-stick coating!!!

I have some of my mojo back with this party as far as sales, but with booking and recruiting leads being a big fat ZERO...I have to keep my confidence up anyway or I fall back into my funk.

Hang in there!!!

Ok guys, so I'm really not trying to come on here and be like yay me all the time, but... YAY ME! LoL I have no idea what's going on but this has been one of the oddest months for me. I had a show last night for a repeat hostess (she's hosted every 6 months for the past 5 years!) and well, I walked out the door with $975 in sales! High sales in our little corner of Maine are not the easy to come by. But get this... there was a girl there who I actually went to high school with and she asked me every single question in the book last night about the business opportunity. I left it as, go home and talk to your hubby, let's chat tomorrow by phone, and we'll get you signed up! We set her kickoff show date for February 8th and she now just needs to decide whether or not we should sign her up today and have here make the income from that show, or have me do it and get her a kit credit. When I explained to her that she'd be making her investment back and then some in her first 30days, that it might be worth it to put it on a credit card and then pay it off before any finance charges occurred, she seemed to think that was a great idea!

Ok, and here's another kicker! That consultant on my team who I was telling you about, the one who's signed 3 people since Leadership, well she went to one of her news consultants 1st shows last night (yes, she just signed two weeks ago and had her first show!) and she helped her new consultant to get 3 bookings and a recruiting interview for TODAY! OH MY GOSH!

Ok, I'll stop bragging now, but I've just never had a month like this in the 5 years of doing business, this is pure craziness for my team!
