Then talk to everyone who comes near your booth and get contact info. That's how I start over every time we move.

Just handing out catalogs and business cards isn't going to get much business. You have to follow up. And if you've handed out catalogs to close friends and family, and you follow up and they're not interested in ordering, I wouldn't feel too bad about asking for the catalog back.

Search craigslist for events in your area. I'm new to PC and new to our area (I signed up a few weeks after we moved here) and I scheduled several shows through craigslist and not only have I met some wonderful people, I've also booked several shows and had some pretty decent sales (6 show so far with show average of $700+).
Good luck with your business and don't give up!!!

I'm in the process of calling EVERYONE (just about) in my cell phone. I've had one booking quite a few "interested." So I will definitely be following up on the interested.

We're not allowed to solicit on craigslist (unlike some other DS companies), but it is a great place to find those events.
Good luck to everyone!!

Each person will answer in their own way, but it is either going be in one of 3 ways: 1) They love PC. 2) They would rather buy their products somewhere else and 3) Sure I know someone and they love....etc..
If 1, then find out what they would like to do, place an order or have a show
If 2, Don't try to puch PC down their throats, or try to convience them they are wrong.
If 3, Get contact information.
Lastly, don't be afraid to go out with your apron on to the local store or gas station. I have done it before actually had one lady run up to me begging for a catalog and book a show. Another time a different lady wrote me a check right on the spot for a large order (never meet me before, PEOPLE TRUST PAMPERED CHEF ((Just amazing to me))
Anyway good luck, and don't be afraid to find out who likes PC and who doesn't. That is where I am having some my success.
