I Hate Calling...but It Turned Out Well!!!

[cookingmommy]

So...I'm still new at this and I definitely get nervous calling. A woman at my girlfriend's show said she might be interested in hosting a catalog show. So...I gave her the weekend and called her today about it. She said that she wants to "take the plunge" and have a cooking show but didn't know when. I said that sounded wonderful and that although I was returning to Guam in three weeks I assured her that I would be back this fall if she wanted to wait. I told her that our new products would soon be coming out and that the fall would be a great time for anyone wishing to shop for the holidays. She said that was wonderful and wants a fall party. Not that she couldn't back out but I am excited for how well the call went.

I'm still trying to track down two other potential hosts.

That's great Erin. I always over think the phone and think that I'm bugging people. Then it usually turns out that they are happy to hear from me!

I always think that I am bugging them also. I guess I need to think of it as I'm not selling them something. I am trying to give them something....or alot of something. That needs to be my mentality. I am helping them out and offering them up a great opportunity....and I benefit also,lol.

Erin - great job! Make sure to keep in good contact with your fall hosts. Send postcards every couple of weeks, send emails, call if you can.

Way to go, Erin! I know it's hard and you feel like you're bugging people. Just remember that you're offering them a chance to get free and discounted stuff!

Thanks everyone...unfortunately my other two calls didn't quite go as well....two answering machines....but I will still keep trying.

Thanks for all the support!!!!

Here's to hoping that tonight's party will bring a July booking and possibly a recruit lead!!!!!
