Hi all!
Just wanted to share my excitement.
I started in August and was on fire -- earned all three SS months and one bonus one as well. Had a ton of bbokings ... great show averages and then in October my Dad went into a coma and I had to take things down a lot. That's one of the great things about this business -- you have the ability to do that.
Well, I sadly lost my father on 1/25 but have been anxious to get back into the thick of things. My two early Feb hosts rescheduled on me and that left me with one single sad party that I wasn't expecting a whole lot of on 2/24. I wasn't happy with that so I decided to change it.
First I sent out a massive email to all my customers announcing the stoneware sale and encouraging them to stock up and save. I ended up getting about $250 in orders from that email alone
I also got another booking for 2/28!!! A friend of mine is also interested in the business and wants to attend a cluster meeting with me and hear more about the business!! SCORE!
Second -- I started looking for exposure events -- I found several affordable ones in my area and signed up for them for March, April and May.
Next -- I picked up that phone -- got another 2 bookings for March, had 4 already so I'm looking good there! Got a couple for April and May as well -- woo hoo!
Then -- remember that one single sad party that I wasn't expecting much from? Well -- only 7 people showed up. I was pretty worried. Ends up -- FIVE of them booked, and the show is at $400 in sales right now with more outside orders coming -- not the GREATEST sales, but the bookings were killer!!
Oh -- on top of that. One of the guests -- she has a registry with me for her wedding in May. She decided to have a party in June to get the rest of the stuff from her registry --- AND use the credit from the show towards her kit and become a consultant. WOO HOO !!!!! ICING ON THE CAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!
You really CAN choose to make this business work for you -- and it will if you want it to !
