I just noticed that I am $1,500 away from $15K in sales.

I have this crazy goal of getting there before my birthday on April 11.

Ideas? Currently have nothing defined on the calendar.
 
Why not throw yourself a birthday party the weekend before???? That is what I am doing and my birthday is also April 11th!!! We do an annual bday/tax day bonfire and have the entire neighborhood at my house all day and late into the night where we burn our Christmas tree ~ its a blast!Karen
 
Have you called all of your contacts about the DCB special? Call everyone! Tonight!

For bookings: Call everyone (with excitement :) )and tell them you've just got to see the new Spring products. Share one particular product that you think is going to help you (or them) and ask them if they would like to get some friends together to check them out! Be sure you have your calendar ready. Again, call everyone!

You can do it! Think of that commission check and that 2% raise!
 
This just happened to me! I had a goal to hit $15k by my one year anniversary!!!

And I just did it Saturday night and my sign on date is 2/26!

I just was really excited about products when showing them- all month I've been doing the loaded baked potato chowder trying to push the DCB bundle and I've been cross selling my buns off. Cross selling really does make a difference!

Good luck! You can do this!

My birthday is April 10th...Love April!!! :sing: :D
 
My birthday is April 1st and my son's birthday is April 9th. I also got married on April 20th.

We get to celebrate a lot in April.
 
I recently sent an email to my contacts stating that I was doing a pantry order for Feb and not only did I get those orders but alot of people threw in some extras. You might want to try this after you get some shows booked for extra sales.

Well, not great, but not bad. First, my computer died. Officially Dead as a Doornail.I borrowed a laptop, but it runs Umbuntu. Not compatible with P3.
That said ... I went to a craft fair. My expectations were super low for this.I sold a FAMILY SKILLET to a lady who just called tonight wanting a round stone with handles for her friend.I sold another $70 in Cash and Carry. I am making some calls and trying to get enough together for a second show. If I do, I do. If I don't, I will add my order to this lady's show. I am ordering a few new spring products on this show. I have moved the date of this goal, not eliminated it. I will now be about $1200 away from my $15K and will have some spring products to show off in an open house.
