[Pampered Laura]

I just hit $50k career sales (from Feb 21, 2006-current) ... does anything special happen? Balloons from the sky or anything neat-o like that? LOL

CONGRATS!

Ooooh ribbons and food. I swear Pampered Chef really knows the way to this woman's heart!

You don't get anything special telling you that you made it. Check the Career Sales listing on your commission statement.

I finally hit $50k in January! Whoot!

Congrats! How did you hit $50k in a little over a year???

 

[Pampered Laura]

Thanks! Hmm... as far as how I did it? Well, I do between 5-7 shows a month and as many catalog shows as I can get my hands on... My avg month is around $4500 or so. Nothing crazy!

[gilliandanielle]

What is your key to a consistent $4500 a month? That is what I need to be doing.

 

[Pampered Laura]

LOL you guys are silly My key? I think it's just asking. I have something to offer these people - if they don't want it, that's cool, but they arent doing me any favors by hosting a show "for me". I'm the one doing them a favor. That's my attitude anyway.
I also majorly over-schedule myself to make sure I'm not left with an empty calendar. I *want to do* 5-7 shows a month, so I book 8-10. This way when people reschedule on me (I rarely get a full-out cancel) Im not stressed about it.
As far as boosting sales, I always ask for Catalog shows. I typically have 5-10 of them going at a time. I love 'em! And wedding registries, fundraisers, etc.
I usually have my own catalog show going every month too, so when I do customer care calls I can put orders together on my own catalog party & turn em in each month.

ETA: I could be doing much more I'm sure...I'm not really in the running for TPC in sales (maybe eventually but not this year). This is still a part time thing for me, I'm a SAHM first and foremost. There are people out there (and in my cluster) doing more shows/sales than I do, but I dont want to kill myself with my own schedule, so I do what works for me. Find what works for you, and then give yourself a cushion.

I'm trying to work on that attitude. I know they benefit and most of the time they get more than I do from a show but I still feel like I'm asking them to do me a favor by holding a show.

That is awsome LauraAnd thank you. I have been taking it easy for a little over a year and you're, right! I totally forgot that it is not them doing us a favor. It is the favor we can do for them.
I forget sometimes that it isn't about us. (Although when the bills add up after a medical crisis it seems like that is the focus.)

So with your wisdom so put forth, my attitude I must adjust.

Thank you so much for that reminder.

And Congrats! Totally awsome goal per month!!
