Hi everyone!
I'm fairly new. I just signed in mid-July and I just qualified in mid-Aug. Now I'm struggling to secure bookings. And have found two things that seem to be "road blocks" for me.
The first one is "Oh I already have a ton of PC products." When I'm calling people I know (List of 100), I'm hearing this from A LOT of people. I just did a State Fair on Thurs, and I heard this 3/4 of the time from people we talked to, as well. Does anyone know how to come back and turn it into a booking when someone claims they have "almost everything in the Catalog" or have "a ton" already??? I know in my case, YEARS ago, I truly almost did have everything in the Catalog. Then PC came out with the Simple Additions. LOL So I know what it's like to own a LOT. In fact I did my first show with all my personal products because my kit hadn't arrived in time. lol
The second "road block" I'm coming across is having another Consultant who is VERY popular in my "circle of influence." Basically, we go to the same church, and she is the wife of one of the staff. She's very bubbly and outspoken/outgoing and I'm more relaxed and shy unless I really know the person. When I mention I just started blah, blah, blah wanna host a show, they immediately ask if I'm under this other gal (I'm not). We've got a large church, but I'm just finding that everyone I know has either hosted/attended a show she's done, or has already been hit up for a booking or order from her. Does anyone know how to overcome this obstacle too???
It's just very frustrating when I'm constantly asked about this other person, because I'm just not a person that will compete or try to take away from her business. Being so new, I feel I don't have much to offer. I don't know, it's just frustrating and I need to figure out a way to overcome these two things and turn them into bookings!! I've been on the phone most of the day Friday and will do another cold call blitz today. Any advice is much appreciated!!
