but it took me forever to get there! ok not forever just 6 months! any ideas how I can reach $15,000 by november? I have 5 shows booked for June and still working on booking June, 1 for July and 1 for August. I really want to book up my june and july and am calling everyone that entered my drawing this past weekend. I have several that I have to call back mid june. could do it if my shows this summer are great! i just keep getting alot of no's and not right nows.:(
 
you just do what you're doing...get bookings...

~host coach so each show will be as successful as possible.
~Have fun at your shows, and others will want that fun at their house with their friends, and you'll get more bookings.
~Show them the NEED for these products. How great that Deep Covered Baker works, How fast chopping is with the Food Chopper

With June and July earning free products, focus on earning those for now...and you'll get their in no time!
You're doing good setting goals!!
Congrats!

Is November just your personal goal, or is there a reason you want it by November?
 
Congrats on hitting $5,000. I am getting ready to finish up my 30 days and just made it to $1,250. You are awesome

Host Coach like crazy!!! You can't do ti without them. Show them all the benefits, use the $1000 shows flyers and tips. Help them rememeber to get outside orders.

Way to set a goal for yourself!
Good Luck
 
This business tends to snowball. (I know that's not everyone's experience, but it seems to be fairly normal.) The next $5,000 will be easier. The $5,000 after that, even easier.

Just keep pluggin' away. You'll be there in no time.

november will be my 1 year selling PC! So hopefully I will make my goal!! I just thought it would be neat if I made my $15,000 in my first year. May not to do it but you don't know unless you try!!

thanks guys!!
 
Congrats! I'm really trying to push- but I think I'm only going to be at $4500 by the end of the day when I submit my next show- bummer since this is the last day of my 90 days. But there's still hope- I have 2 people working on this for me.

Congradulations! Just keep doing your follow-ups. You are on the right track. See if there are any fairs you can join that seems to help too :)
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What strategies can I use to overcome rejection in direct sales?

Overcoming rejection in direct sales involves maintaining a positive mindset and viewing each "no" as a step closer to a "yes." Focus on building relationships rather than just making sales. Practice your pitch, seek feedback, and learn from each experience. Additionally, remind yourself that rejection is a natural part of the sales process and not a reflection of your worth or abilities.

How can I effectively book shows to reach my $15,000 goal?

To effectively book shows, start by leveraging your existing network. Reach out to friends, family, and acquaintances, and offer them incentives for hosting a show. Use social media to promote your shows and share success stories. Consider offering exclusive promotions or discounts for hosts to encourage bookings. Consistency in your outreach and follow-ups is key to securing shows.

What are some tips for promoting my shows to maximize attendance?

To maximize attendance at your shows, create engaging and visually appealing invitations that highlight the benefits of attending. Use social media platforms to create events and share sneak peeks of what guests can expect. Send reminders as the date approaches and consider offering a small giveaway or incentive for attendees. Personal touches, like a handwritten note or a phone call, can also increase interest and attendance.

How can I maintain motivation when facing challenges in my sales journey?

Staying motivated during challenging times can be tough, but setting clear, achievable goals can help. Break your $15,000 target into smaller milestones and celebrate each achievement. Surround yourself with a supportive community, whether through Pampered Chef groups or local meetups, to share experiences and encouragement. Regularly revisit your "why"—the reasons you started in direct sales—to reignite your passion and drive.

What resources are available to help me improve my direct sales skills?

There are numerous resources available to enhance your direct sales skills. Consider attending Pampered Chef training sessions, webinars, and workshops. Utilize online forums and social media groups dedicated to direct sales for tips and support. Books on sales techniques and personal development can also provide valuable insights. Additionally, seek mentorship from experienced consultants within your network to gain practical advice and strategies.
