I did a booth at an event this past Saturday. I finally was able to call the leads from it today. There was a gentleman that took the catalog and filled out the doorprize slip. He marked that he was interested in hosting a show (in March or April) and also the opportunity.

I spoke with him today and he will be going out of town Feb 25th thru March 11th. I believe from the sounds of it he would like to have a show and then become a consultant. I will be sending him a recruiting brochure as well as a show flyer.

I did tell him what it would take to host a show and using the kit credit towards his kit and of course explained to him that he would get the bookings from his show.

Is there anything else I can send him?? He does not have email so I have to mail everything to him.

Thanks in advance.

PS - I have been selling PC for a little over 5 years and have in the past had 2 recruits - 1 was a kitnapper and 1 sold for about a year and went inactive and has been inactive ever since. So this would be like my 1st recruit. This time I am definitely more prepared to be a recruiter and have people on my team. My first recruit was from one of my very first shows and my 2nd recruit was from a show within my first year.

bump - please advise
 
I would just make sure he has the kit contents, and the new reward program brochures. Other than that I think more info would overwhelm for now!

you mean like the trip reward program?
 
Do you know why he is considering being a consultant? If so, send information that addresses that "heart tug."

not really - he did say that he went to culinary art school and loves cooking stuff - knives and everything else really fascinate him. The only big bummer is he does not have email so I am guessing that maybe he doesn't even have a computer.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a booth event, and how can it benefit my Pampered Chef business?

A booth event is a marketing opportunity where you set up a display to showcase Pampered Chef products at local fairs, markets, or community events. These events can help you reach a larger audience, generate leads, and connect with potential hosts and recruits. By engaging with attendees, you can demonstrate products, share recipes, and build relationships that may lead to future sales or hosting opportunities.

How do I prepare for a successful booth event?

To prepare for a successful booth event, start by selecting the right location and date that aligns with your target audience. Create an attractive display that highlights your best-selling products and includes promotional materials like catalogs and business cards. Practice your pitch to engage visitors effectively, and consider offering a fun activity, such as a cooking demonstration or a giveaway, to draw people in and encourage interaction.

What strategies can I use to follow up with leads after the event?

After the event, promptly follow up with leads by sending personalized thank-you notes or emails. Reference any specific conversations you had to make your message more personal. You can also provide additional information about products or hosting opportunities that may interest them. Consider scheduling a follow-up call or inviting them to a future event to keep the conversation going and nurture the relationship.

How can I identify potential hosts and recruits during a booth event?

During the booth event, look for attendees who show genuine interest in the products or ask questions about hosting or joining your team. Engage them in conversation and ask open-ended questions to gauge their interest. You can also offer a sign-up sheet for those who want more information about hosting a party or becoming a consultant, making it easy for them to express their interest.

What should I do if I don’t receive immediate interest from leads after the event?

If you don’t receive immediate interest, don’t be discouraged. Many leads may need time to think about their options. Continue to nurture these relationships by sending periodic updates about new products, promotions, or upcoming events. Stay engaged on social media and invite them to join your online community, where they can see the value of your offerings and feel more connected to your business.
