I have just started my business as a PC Consultant. I am currently in nursing school and really need to make some extra money. I am hoping to be as successful as everyone here. I am worried that I will "run out of hosts" because I don't know enough people. So far I have 2 catalog shows and 1 cooking show booked and some "maybes". I should get my kit this weekend or Tuesday. If anyone has any advice/ideas that will help me become as successful as you, please share! I am currently working on the training modules.

Thanks!
 
Good luck with your new business, Lee.

Haha. Thanks and thats my last name! :)
 
Welcome! Congrats on starting your business! :)(You can click on "User CP" and customize your signature there. So, if you want to display your real name or a nickname you'd like to go by here, you can add that and it'll show at the bottom of all your posts.)
 
Welcome!!! We're glad to have you here.

My best suggestion would be to get good at getting bookings. Even if you flop on sales at one show, if you have a few more bookings it is just that many more chances to try again. Make the most of the one cooking show you have scheduled.
Ask as many questions as you like, there are always people here to answer.

So do you recommend keep trying to get as many bookings as possible and especially at the cooking show I have scheduled?
 
absolutely. Get bookings. they are the heart of your business. of course you want your sales to be good, but in the long run it is about being able to have consistent business. It would be much better to have 8 $400 shows a month than 1 $1000 show every few months.
 
Congratulations on your new business. Definitely set a goal for yourself of at least 2 bookings per show. It will keep your business consistent and you will see it grow. Put a leash between you and your phone and don't be afraid to use it. When you follow the simple 3 contacts a day, you will see success.
 
Ask everyone - go through your list of 100 - don't pre-judge.
Keep a full calendar - overbook it!
Wear your PC gear - shirts, catalog tote - everywhere you go. Be ready with a couple mini-catalogs and a prize drawing slip for them to fill out their info so you can get back in touch with them.
Don't spend a ton of money or time on supplies at the beginning. YOU and your voice are what drives the business... not fluff. I remember wasting a lot of effort on making pretty guest packets, wrapping door prizes, etc. Nice if you have time and money but not better than getting on the phone and calling people.

Welcome!The Furry Guy was worried about that when I started my business. It took about 6 months for him to realize that I'd worked my way outside our circle of friends. Two important things to remember:1. For your catalog shows be sure that your host provides contact info for everyone. Contact each person who orders. Thank them for their order, and ask them if they'd like to host a show. 2. For your cooking shows, remind your hosts to invite people you don't know.

I am new and have been wearing my name tag when I go out on my errands. I keep info cards so I can pass them out.

I like the idea of wearing the t-shirt also. I will have to do that. Thanks PampChefJoy .
