Irrestible Destinations - How Are You Doing Thus Far?

[beckyjsmith]

When people say they just don't have time to do a cooking show ( I was trained to ask when v if, lol) I offer them the opportunity to pass a catalog around to some friends. I tell them 150 gets them the host special and $200.00 gets the ( fill in the blank) item they circled on their product sheet. I mean hey! That's basically a catalog around work/church group/ family/ bunco group... you get the idea.... AND then they get 10% off the rest of the year. I send a little "show to go" invitation via email that I will be glad to share once my regular PC gets de-virused. ( ICK AND EEK!)
They are not always huge, but they add up. I think sometimes consultants forget that the "no not yet" might mean ," ok I could pass a catty around right now and do a cooking show later," kind of thing. I hope that made sense!

That does... Thanks so much... Now I just need to pick up that 500lb phone.

Shows:

• Jan Cooking - $1,190.25 (followed my host coaching tips)
• Jan Cooking - $500.99 (refused to utilize the online system & said she was happy with whatever she got from the show sales, and she was!)
• Jan Catalog - $316.95 (A friend in the states who did a last minute online only show. She didn't even have catalogs.)
• Jan Cooking - $1,562.70 (followed my host coaching tips)
• Feb Cooking - $300.70 (waited until the last minute to send out invites & didn't utilize the online system)
  [*]Feb Cooking - $827.05 - still open & collecting orders
  [*]Feb Cooking - $938.35 - still open & collecting orders

These two ended up closing at $1,012.40 & $1,316.35 bringing my current incentive point count to 11,339.79! ​

I have 7100 points plus 1000 from Spring launch = 8100 still beed to add in 1200 show 300.00 show ( this one is double ) and a recurt that qulifyed from last year so that makes 11,900 total Whahoo

 

[Sheila]

WooHoo! You go girl!!

 

[cathyt]

I was close to on track for January at 6,200 points out of the 6,700 needed for Maui. Had two recruits qualfy.

Febraury is proving to be a tough month for me. I have $200 in internet sales and 5 of my 8 scheduled shows canceled, Trying to make the most of it and pick up a little bit here and there this month so it isn't a total disaster.

March will be an excellent month for me with 12 shows booked right now...I'm hoping most or all will actually hold!! Calling my March hosts today!

 

[NooraK]

I haven't earned any more points, but I'm in the process of bribing my three hosts for the end of the month I'm offering each of them a free cookbook with $250 in outside orders before the show, or a free stone with $500.

I'm still working on getting two shows by Monday. I did submit a show, but it had no commissionable sales (past host ordered cookware). As of yet, it's not showing in CC at all, although it does show as having been picked.

 

[Sheila]

Just remember Noora, the shows have to be held AND submitted in Feb to count towards the double points. So if you haven't already given them your incentives, make sure you add something about closing before the end of the month!

 

[NooraK]

Yes, that' too. I have one on the 21st, so I'm not worried about that one too much. The other two are on the 25th and the 28th, so I need to make sure they understand I'll want to close the night of the show, and why. Besides, if they get all their outside orders before the show, it shouldn't be a problem.

 

[Sheila]

My shows are easier, I know when all of my hosts & guests get paid! LOL We have the military crowd & we have the school employee crowd. I have 3 military hosts the last weekend of the month & Friday is payday, so I told all 3 of them that I was working on an incentive to go to Maui and that I needed to close their show & have it submitted by midnight to qualify. Technically, I have until 3PM on the 1st since we are 15 hours ahead of stateside time - but no point in telling them that or they might procrastinate until Monday!

 

[Sheila]

Oh, & I just looked. Consultant Connection is saying estimated commission for this pay period is $1,139.30! Another $165.65 in commissionable sales & I'll match my all time high with Pampered Chef. I have 4-5 more cooking shows (5 on the calendar but 1 will probably go to the host, she wants to sign) and 1 catalog show. I think I'm going to break my personal best this month!

 

[gaddischef]

Sheila -- you're on your way!

I'm at 17.987 pts. so far, with four recruits to qualify, 11 shows and 2 catalog shows on the books for March. I have 2 Feb. shows that didn't get closed..boo...but the points still count! Looking to recruit 2 this month!


Hope we see each other in Maui!!

 

[Sheila]

Way to go Michelle! Yes, I would LOVE to hop from mainland Japan across to Hawaii for a vacation in 2011!!! I'm still fairly new at being a team leader & didn't realize that I had to have a recruit in the last 4 months to maintain HO Leads. So I lost them for February! What a horrible month to not have them!!! But they are now back, so hopefully they will help me along the path to earning Maui!If I can get one more girl on my team to recruit, I'll be promoted to Director. We already have the sales, it's just a matter of getting the structure. So I'm hoping that it happens very soon!

 

[Rosechef]

I have over 9300 points, so far. I had a fabulous month in February. I'm on track for Toronto, but would love to go to Maui. I haven't gotten any recruits yet and there's where I need to work on.

 

[beckyjsmith]

I am right at 30k right now. I have eight more shows this month and am about to close my second March show. Both shows so far this month are over one thousand. Whahooo! I have two recruits to qualify and I am about to sign two more. So far so good. Great job everyone!

 

[Sheila]

Rosechef, you'll get there! Just keep on working it! Becky, nice job! I wish I could be getting the bonus Director, AD, etc. points to help me out on this endeavor! LOL I'll get there.

 

[Melissa78]

I am at 21,506 and hope that by the 5th of April that my 4 recruits will have qualified bringing me to 30,506. My show schedule for March is beyond horrid so I'll see if I can pull it out its slump.

 

[beckyjsmith]

Sheila- GIRL! I am so excited for you!!! You will totally be getting those director bonus points soon. WHAHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! You are going to be SUCH a wonderful director. You are a wonderful team leader now!!
Melissa- you can easily salvage March. We all have ups and downs- and there is still a LOT of March left. One of my downline consultants got 6 bookings from her show yesterday- 2 of them catalog shows that are going now. Stay positive girl!

 

[Melissa78]

Thanks Becky - after my stellar month in February it just looks so bleak. I know I just need to get on the phone and try to salvage it. I shouldn't have done it but I took all last week off mentally as I was fried between FT PC and FT work. Now its back to the grind tomorrow. THanks again! (a big wahoo for your consultant!)

 

[beckyjsmith]

Melissa-
I totally understand. I am a full time teacher and a mom of 4. The first time I had a 10k month I took that same mental break. I recovered, and it was ok. I had an almost 11k month last month , and i knew ahead of time I had to pace myself or be fried, so I scheduled my March shows only 2 a week, with a catalog show and one week with 3 shows. This way, although I won't be having another 10k month, I will still hit my average ( it's something like 5500 a month) and all will be well. I have complete faith that you will do well this March. Congrats again and I will look forward to meeting you in Maui!!!

 

[beckyjsmith]

PS.. here is a great show opening to use this month to increase sales at your show and to add more March bookings.
I hope it helps!

After tonite, you won't ever use wood again, once you learn about the wonders of Pampered Chef Bamboo!!” Welcome to our March Woohooo for Bamboo Show! Thank you Janie for hosting. And this month, we are celebrating the joys and wonders of Pampered Chef bamboo!”

“Who here has a piece of wooden-“something” in your kitchen? Maybe it’s a cutting board, a spoon, a bowl? Well with Pampered Chef Bamboo, it’s not wood! Bamboo is a reed, it’s renewable (green as we at Pampered Chef like to say), and it won’t harbor food bacteria, odor, moisture, won’t split or splinter and stays just this beautiful use after use after use…much different than wood!”

“So with Woohooo for Bamboo, I’m on a mission to get everyone trying this incredible product and this month, you can get your first THREE pieces for free! Or if you KNOW the joys and wonders of Pampered Chef Bamboo, you can get your next THREE pieces for free!”

Points thus far are at 16,497. It's ok but not where I wanted them to be. Have some more shows to close out this month as well so still going. However, April is looking GREAT! So far I have 12, yes TWELVE shows booked. And I will still book more if I can! I'm coaching them all to make sure they stick. My May is already half way booked as well!
I want Maui very badly and if I can have an awesome April and get plenty of bookings from these shows it can be done! Also have some potential consultants I am working with so that would be great to get them signed and qualified. My goal is to recruit 10 this year.
