Index Cards Helping With Increasing Sales and Phone Calls.

[cbord]

Last month I decide to put 12 cards on my bulletin board with the goal to have 12 working things. Well, I revised it yesterday:

First, I change from large cards to small index cards. They fit in my planner better.

Second, I made 31 cards-number of days in August. I numbered cards in bottom right corner.

Third, I decide this cards would be used for follow up (mainly phone cards or in person).

Fourth, I was putting on cards- Catalog, Kitchen and Wedding Registry. I now also put who I gave catalogs to. When I give catalog out I always give a hostess special flyer and 3 OOF with the guest special printed on back. I am treating each catalog given out as possible catalog or kitchen show.

Fifth, I also make a card if someone says bring me a catalog on (date). Example: I have to drop a catalog off at customers' business on Saturday morning. So I made a index card for that and will work her as a possible catalog show.

So right now I have the following cards made:
1- August catalog show closing
1-September kitchen show
1- Wedding Registry, update new products for bride on 9/1. Her shower is end of Sept.
1- Sept. catalog show
2-Delivery catalogs on Saturday 8/4
2- Catalog given working as possible catalog shows
3- Catalog given for orders for my or a host show.

On th index cards I write:
In bottom corner already has card #.
In top right corner, date card was created.
In top left corner, either circled K (kitchen show), circled C
(catalog show), circled WR (wedding registry), catalog given-order, catalog given-possible show, catalog drop etc.
Below that person name and contact info.

Then I just add noted on cards as needed.

I carry all 31 cards with me so I can work o filling them up.

I'll keep ya'll posted on how the system works for me.

Hmm.. sounds interesting... I'm more of a visual person.. could you take a picture so I can see them?? Where do you keep the cards? Is it kind of like a rolodex?
