Wow Sara!

Congrats on such a successful first show - you are off to a wonderful start.

Can you share how you made a game out of bookigs for your hostess? I would love to encourage my hostess to get just as excited about bookings.

Congrats again - you deserve a big round of applause!

Congrats!

Sounds like you had a really great first show! My first show had several bookings as well. I am in my first month and have several shows scheduled out to June. I was kind of disappointed in my last 2 shows because I did not get any bookings but I will keep trying!!

 

Sara
I am so jealous! WAY TO GO!!!! I will definitely have to try that to see if i can get some more bookings! Awesome and let us know if it keeps up!

 

Sara,
CONGRATULATIONS on a FABULOUS 1ST SHOW!!! You should also be congratulated for your creative idea on getting bookings. The way to get bookings is to mention it several times during your show (which you did) AND to ask everyone. Probably the MOST important thing is to be EXCITED and it sounds like you were! They want to have fun and learn. Keep up the terrific work! Everyone can do it!

 

Great Job Kitchen Queen

Thank you for sharing your idea with us. I have to admit, I am not doing to bad with bookings with the new program but 7 in one show! Kitchen Queen, you deserve a throne of your own! I never would have thought of a little dose of competition. I have a show coming up on Saturday. I hope you do not mind if I try this out. My host is a newbie to Pampered Chef so there is excitement there to begin with. However, I know alot of her guests and well, let's just say that even with 10 to twleve guests, I do not anticipate a big sales number nor bookings. With Peggy's excitement and a little "game" to boost that, well, who knows! Thank you again for the niffty idea!

 

recruit her!

You need to recruit that host!! She's already doing our job!!

 

Congrats

How awsome for your 1st show. Keep up the enthusiasm

You go girl!!

Michelle

 

Keep it up!!

Keep up the great work!!

8 bookings and $800???

Recruit your host!

 

Did you tell her how she would earn the mid-season products for FREE if she joined before April 30? Tell her all she has to do is TRY it for 4 show or $1250 in sales. If she had shows like hers, that would only be 2 shows!

 

Rather than try to talk her into something, find out what is holding her back from giving it a try. What are her objections. Also, find out what she finds interesting about the idea of trying Pampered Chef. Get her excited about what interests her and deal with her objections.

Ask your director to do a conference call or meet with you when you talk to her if you are not comfortable doing it on your own. Let the host know that you are new and you want to give her correct infomation, would she mind if your director and you did a conference call (or met in person) to answer any questions she might have?

 

Maybe your host would go to one of your monthly cluster meetings with you. I know my director gives us a reward if we bring potential hosts to the meetings. Does she have to leave the job she does now to do PC? Maybe she can try both to start with. (unless that is too much for her) If she did that she may find she would like to do PC full time. You should recommend this website to her. Maybe it would help get her excited and want to sign up with PC!

 

Kudos!!

Kudos to an awesome show!! Your enthusiasm is truly contagious!
I haven't gotten any recruits, but I know I was not "pushed" into starting up, and I knew my recruit was in PC for about a year. I wasn't hesitant, I just didn't want to sell anything... at the right time, (I guess)~with the right changes in my life, I called her and asked her to send me some stuff to see what a Consultant makes, does, etc. I wouldn't have done it a day sooner.

I say all that to say, sometimes the timing is not right for the person, just stay with PC and they might be seeking you out. Maybe this is not the "proactive approach", but I liked it when done to me.

 

recruiting the host

Kitchen Queen,

You said that you can't talk her into leaving her job and trying PC. How about asking her if she'd like to try PC for just 4 shows and get the chance to earn a bunch of free products in the process? If she loves it she can do more and decide when she's ready whether she'd want to leave that job or not. A lot of people do Pampered Chef along side another job - that's one of the beauties of our business! Concentrate on what SHE'LL get by trying the business - don't even think about what YOU want and remember to tell her that if she "doesn't try she'll never know"!

 

Tell her to keep doing what she is doing now and you will contact her in 3 months to see if she is still enjoying it.

Then be sure you follow-up!
