I was wondering how all of you pick yourselves up when you are feeling kinda down about business? I have been struggling and busting my butt trying to get any sort of sales. I'm in my SS2 month, and have yet to have a show because nobody, friends nor family, will host one for me. I had an open house and nobody came, but still I keep on going at it all.
I've done tele-classes, I work so closely with my director and brainstorm ideas, but I feel like I am just never going to get ahead. I tried caterers, I'm doing my follow-up calls with realtors, and when I call them, I smile when I dial, and I get the cold shoulder and rudeness from people. They will take your number, and when they ask why I am calling, I tell them and then you can tell by the tone in their voice that they would rather be scraping their nails on a chalkboard.
I love Pampered Chef and I want to be successful. Anything that I can do, I am trying to do to enhance my business, but it just seems like it is crumbling before I can even build a solid foundation.
I have the BRU vendor thing coming up on the 13th and I also have a Bridal Fair coming up in July. I am hoping that I can qualify by then so that I can at least be able to do the wedding registries. Otherwise, I don't want to throw away the $300 for the booth.
How do you work around the kinks in the road? I have that excitement and passion, but after I get off the phone, I feel so downtrodden. I knew that when I started that because I didn't know anyone where I lived, it was going to be harder for me than most, but I didn't think it would be this hard.
