My 30th day is Monday. I have a goal of submitting 4 shows with over $1250 in sales. Right now I have submitted 2 shows with $462 in total sales. I have a show on Saturday that I have told the host I will need to close on Sunday so she knows to get outside orders together beforehand. I am also going to call her tomorrow and remind her while I am touching base about the guest list, where to set up etc. I think this show might be pretty ok.
The problem is I am needing that elusive 4th show. I have a catalog show going, but it is going slow. The host and I are both teaching VBS at our church this week. I told her on Monday that I had placed some catalogs with outside order forms with her name in our worker breakroom (so far no orders though, but it has only been 2 days). She told me she had 2 orders at work but that she left them there. I told her we will want to close the show on Monday. She said ok, but I am having doubts of it being enough to qualify for a show.
Today I decided to "pamper" my hair salon since my daughter had an appointment. I brought profiterole puffs and the few ladies that were working loved them. I brought an envelope with catalogs and several outside order forms. I told them all I was in the process of doing a mystery host party (which they don't really know I intended to hopefully get enough orders with all of them). I explained to them briefly that I would draw from all orders placed and one winner would be the "host" and receive all the benefits. I told my stylist that if she collected it all for me, I would have a free gift for her and that I would be back on Friday to collect my dish and whatever orders she had. As I was leaving though, one of the other stylists INSISTED I go ahead and take my plate. So now what? Do I go back in there on Friday hoping to find orders? Do I call my stylist and ask her what is there? The book I left her last week was still sitting on her station and didn't appear to have been passed around.
I REALLY want to qualify in my first 30 days and I want those extra PC$. Any suggestions on how to get there? I thought about emailing my friends asking for orders, but I did that asking for shows offering a free gift to the first two people to email me back and NOBODY responded. Maybe I need new friends. LOL
