Hi all,

I made several calls before Christmas and touched base with several ladies who all said they would do catalog shows and now I have nothing, I am worried that they all just gave up:mad: I tried to email special flyers and left friendly messages on the phone. But nothing. They all told me personally that they would love to do catalog shows, am I jumping the gun or what I just don't want to loose out for my month...:grumpy: :grumpy:
 
I have had the same thing happen with a January Catalog show that gave me a disconected number and a February Cooking show that wont return any of my calls! I am so sorry for you. Don't give up just yet. They may surprise you. Good luck!
 
Try one of two things -

1. Call on a Sunday evening around 7 pm - most people are home -
2. If you have a cell phone call from there - MOST people in my area have caller Id and I leave messages and never get my call backs - One call with my cell number and BAM - they pick up - I always give them the chance to get out of it if need be, but at least I speak to a human and not a machine - Hope it helps! Good luck
