I'm so excited. Here I kept feeling like I was pulling up the same names in my contact list over and over again and feeling like I'm at a dead end. Well, at conference one of the speakers gave the idea of making "Yearly Check-up" calls. Hey, it's never to late for customer service! So I started making some today. People who I never was able to reach after a show, I'm now reaching. So I just called someone who was unhappy w/ her forged cutlery and now she just booked a party! Wahoo! I expressed concern that she wasn't happy w/ her knives. I told her about their lifetime guarantee when she said they just never seemed sharp. I told her about the honing tool (she didn't order it at the time) and about getting them professionally sharpened every couple years as needed. She said she wanted to get the honing tool and so I offered to go ahead and order that for her, unless she'd like to get it for free by hosting a show. That peaked her interest and we talked about it. She booked for September! :)

Yeah! And I accomplished this during the day! I didn't have to wait for night-time w/ DH home. I just took 15 minutes of quiet time w/ the kids watching TV and having snacks! :)
 
Wahoo to you! :D good job!
 
Everyone is proud of you!! That's the way !!
