and did it!

I went out to the bank, vet and dentist. I took brownie plates a catalog, specials and orderforms with me.

At the Bank one lady wants to order but is going to see if her co-workers will come to my home (I live right across the street from all three places) and have a cooking show so that she can get free items instead of paying for them.

The vet: A nurse is going to order the chopper, but I told her if the whole office orders and gets to $150 then everyone's name goes into a pot and someone will get $15 more in free products! She said she'd ask :)

The dentist: Receptionist was off to lunch but took the time to schedule my son's next visit and she wants to come to my open house on the 21st and order! She was excited! SO WAS I!:D

On top of THAT I booked a fair the first weekend of July that is open to 25,000 people and is 3 days long!:eek:

I AM EXCITED!!!!

Thank you for all the GREAT TIPS! (see door to door thread) I know I can always count on you all!

I also have a great director, Carol, who I have been having weekly pep talks with. We go over what I did for the week and what worked and what didn't work. I am also in a step up to director program with our upline Shan who has given great tips on motivation.

Whew! I'm am exhausted :)
 
Good for you, Rebecca!! That's awesome news. Great job getting out there and just doing it!! Can't wait to hear more about what comes out of it.

I actually go to these offices. This is my bank, vet, and dentist and have asked them before for the HWC and got nothing!

So I went in and said "Hi how are you ______? (If I knew their name) I have something here for you and your co-workers, but first I need to _________(deposit check, make an appointment. It took some of the nervousness out)."
Then they see the brownies and catalog and said "So you do Pampered Chef right?"
"Yes. I have here a catalog with 5 magnetic business cards, 5 order forms, and this months special."
"Oh! I love their stuff. I saw the catalog last month, but had no money. This time I am going to order. It's pay day tomorrow!" BINGO!
"Well just to let you know, You could receive free products if you host a show. Cooking, Catalog. etc..."
Oh No! was the answer or let me ask my co-worker was the answer.
Then I said, "If that doesn't work for you I am having an open house/cooking show on the 21st at 6:30pm would you like to attend after work?"
I got two maybes and one yes with an address to send the invite.

Exciting!
 
Good job Rebecca! If only I had the courage to do that!!

That's why I chose to do places I went before. Tomorrow is the big day when I try the hairsalon.:eek: I didn't do it today because I only had 6 brownies left and 1 catalog. I am making more tonight and getting more catalogs with forms together. I figure it is a bigger crowd at a hair salon and they would love choc with their starbucks ;)
 
Great Job Rebecca!! That is so awesome. That took ALOT of courage! Phone fear is bad enough, but you really bit the bullet! I may have to take your lead and REALLY get out of my comfort zone!
