I went for my check up - going every two weeks now. I was looking at the new catalog while I was waiting for my doctor to come in. When she came in I laid it on the counter and she saw it. She started talking about it and that people at her gymn were discussing PC earlier and how she thought she may want some of their knives (the forged ones). I told her I sold PC and she asked if she could keep the catalog. I of course said YES! and told her, well, you know you will see me in two weeks! She said she would show it to her mom, too.

Now I will see if she looks at it between now and when I go back March 12th! I don't want to get my hopes up too high. As busy as she stays she may forget all about it.

My mom told me I should have asked if she wanted to do a show b/c all her friends may be rich, HAHA!!!
 
Hope you get a huge sale out of it, or a booking!
 
Way to work your gyno!
 
Don't forget...Jillian Eisenberg recruited her gyno!
 
Nice work Jennifer!
 
Wow! I like when doctors order from my shows. Its always a good sale!
 
I agree! I had a pharmacist book a show with me in February and it turned into my biggest show ever---$1200!!! I would definitely ask her if she wants to make it a catalog show:)
 
hhmmm something a little different to talk about during those "fun" exams :)

My ob/gyn is one of my best customers!!!!!!!!! And she has had a great show for me too!
 
I went with an ob this time instead of my usual midwives because they feel a c-section is needed, his bedside manner isn't exactly the best. Everyone has told me that he is the best at what he does but he'll know the color of your shoes before the color of your eyes!! Maybe I'll try the nurses. One of them has been to my shows before!

Have you ever left your catalogs in the waiting room? Do you ask first?

I never have but I did think about it last week after this. I only had one catalog with me though.
 
Whenever I leave my catalogs in a waiting room, I ask first.

Just thought about this... too bad you didn't wear a PC pin or something during your last visit/photo shoot!
 
I might have been tempted if I'd known they were going to take the picture in that darn paper gown. I could have spruced it up with the ribbon from my tote.
