Well my best friend is having a party next week and she went to the post office to mail her invitations and the clerk started asking her about PC and asked her if they had new stuff out and she's like um, i don't know but i can give you a catalog and gave her her name and number and 2 hours later the ;ady called her and placed a $50 order. So she's estatic. Isn't that crazy. I guess i need to get out more often.
 
That's awesome! Congrats! :D
 
Yeah, I run to the post office in the mornings before work and have always worked with the same lady. She finally noticed the PC stickers I was putting on my brown envelops (for the host packets) and asked for a catalog. She then put in a $150 order! I was shocked! I told her that if she asked some of her co-workers if they wanted to order, she had enough for a show and she could get the cookware at 60% off. She said yes and I am to be following up with her next week. She has her eye onthe 7 piece executive cookware set!
 
I was told at my local PO that they couldn't ask me nor could I offer anything because it is a federal office and no soliciting policy, etc.

what a way to start your day!!:thumbup:
 
That is awesome!!! Congratulations!
 
I love random people approaching about Tpc! Some guy at the car wash took my card and mini catty cause he saw my purse and asked if I sold TPC.
 
I know it's amazing who will ask you - I once went into Blockbuster at 10 pm after a show and the kid behind the counter saw my button on my jacket and asked me about PC - I told him I would grab a catalog out of my car - I never heard from him but hey you never know where your catalog may end up.
