Just thought I would open up a thread to help those of us who are close, but running really short on time!

Please share your thoughts or tips on how to get orders together in two days!
 
Call lots of people, maybe offer a Wacky Wednesday or Terrific Thursday "show," with lots of different specials throughout the hours of the day...
 
I did a "Magic Monday" phone/email sale and had $300 in sales. I sent out 500 emails and made 30 phone calls with post calls. I'm still trying to figure out how to get another $150 so I can get that apron, but I'm still bumping into friends and neighbors who are talking about ordering stuff!

OMG! 500 Emails! :eek:

I *wish* I had that many contacts!

I did send out an email with a photo of the apron.. asking friends and family to help me earn it.
 
Offer a free HWC product with all orders over $50.00 It cuts on your commission, but it lets you earn the stuff.
 
What is a magic monday?
 
They probably do it like a famous Friday sale. at different times of the day they offer a cetain discount or a free product. If you do a search for famous Friday sale you will probably find more info.
 
Yeah, it was like famous friday, wacky wednesday...do a search for famous friday, and you'll get the idea....

And guess what.......I GOT MY APRON!!! I just met a woman TODAY and mentioned that I'm doing a big sale if she was interested in anything and she ordered $60! So I put in a $20 order to make it, but now I'm getting my apron! YAY! I'm SO SO excited! Nothing like under the wire!

That is great - way to go. :D
 
I had a cancellation for May 10th and decided to do my own show at the last minute. Not many showed up but had enough to turn in 1 show. Then from the people that couldn't come but ordered later I was able to turn in another show. So, WAHOO, I get my help whip cancer products. Now can't wait to receive them.

With prayer and determination anything is possible.

Eleven Hours Left!I had sent out over 70+ emails in the last few days, and not a single response. Ugh.

Nobody likes me, everybody hates me, I might as well eat worms...

Makes you crazy, huh?!?!

I know that feeling! Seems like that's what happens to me too when I send out special emails. I have never had a big response. At least it isn't time consuming to send out mass emails!! (Have to look at the positive side!)
 
I actually sent out an email yesterday when I noticed the serving bowls back for sale in the outlet!! I have them and every time I have guests over everyone is like where can I get them? They were retired until now...so when I sent them the email (to about 20 people) telling them they could buy them and at only $32 for all three...I got quite a few people interested in buying them!! It worked out perfect PLUS yesterday was my last day of my first 30 days in business....so whoever ordered them I got double points! It was awesome!
