Oh my goodness - One of my fundraising hosts that lives near McAllen contacted me the other day to do a second fundraiser - Now today she asks if she could buy the kit and do her own fundraiser Too Cool

Yeah Kathy! Looks like those fundraisers are going to start helping you out after all! Sorry I haven't been very chatty the last couple days. It is the start of a very busy month. Seems like I have something going everyday. I have my first September show tonight and another one tomorrow afternoon. Last night I sat down and made all of my October packets and sent out my first two this morning. I have also created a show file that i bring with me everywhere. Every time I book a show I immediately fill out the host sheet (that is used for filing later) and anything I get until the show also goes in this folder. Also I have begun to write everything in my calendar. It has been making life so much easier for me! It is easy to handle when in the car (where I make a lot of my phone calls) and all of my info for my host such as date time name ph # address recipe progress and who they booked from is in one little box. I used to be very sparatic and never had all the info in one place except P3 which is not always with me. I have found that host coaching has been much simpler because I don't say" oh I forgot what recipe or what was their number?-- nevermind I will call later.) Now when I have the time I use it. ok, I feel like I am rambling now... I will update again soon!
Oh- tonights host says she could def see herself selling PC and wants to eventually but now the time is not right... how do I get past that?

Yeah for both of you! I had my first two shows of the season this weekend. Both of them went very well! My first host (the one that was interested but the time wasn't right) is deeply re-considering. Her mom is interested in helping her out as a dual team to get started and my contact slips have a question that basically asks if the host were to sign up would you do a show for them and out of those she has 6 shows to start already. We have a phone meeting to follow up on Tuesday evening.

Thanks Lacy! I just had a show cancel on me for the end of September but I am glad that it is at least the last weekend of the month! That means I can still have a chance to book it at my shows this weekend! I call one of my potentials this eveing to see what she thinks! Cross your fingers! I really think Pampered Chef would be perfect for her! Let's wait and see if she thinks so!

Hey Ya'll. I'm a little late joining you guys and I haven't read the full thread yet (but I'll get it read before the day is over....10 pages!). I want to join too! My goal is to earn Directorship by November 1st! I currently have 4 on my team (2 just signed this week....woo hoo I'm so darn excited about them too). Anyhow, count me in. I've got tons to do this morning, I just wanted to 'officially' join in. Gotta run for now, I'll read the whole thread and check in later today.

Happy Birthday Kathy!
Great to have you Linda!
I have a show tonight and a brunch show in the morning. I am looking forward to both having an excellent turnout! I am working on my last host to recriut. She spent over $300.00 as the host... of course she got over $800.00 worth of products for it!!! She wants to wait to sign on until they buy their new home... my perceptive... why wait? The extra money will help with all those extra fees! We discussed her coming to my next cluster meeting but thats not until October... no commitment yet.
After the weekend I will update my monthly sales for you all. Remember my goal is $4000.00. I WILL DO IT!

I had a great weekend! Two shows Friday and Saturday. One of them is closed already and the other will close tomorrow night. Sold cookware at both! My points currently are 1707 but will be 2582 once this weekends shows are added! I also got 3 bookings at each show! That added another 6 to my calendar! Not so lucky with recruiting yet again but at least the sales are going well and I am intriguing people enough for them to invite me into their home too! How is everyone else doing?

this is something I have been doing with great success at recruiting. IF my host has 3 or more bookings, I tell her point blank "You NEED to do this if only for these 3 shows! Just add another show, and catalog shows count too, to fulfill your comittment to PC. Would you rather go to each of your friends show and spend $50, or be the consultant and make $100?" Now, during host coaching and before the start of the show, each host has told me no to the biz, BUT after seeing how easy it would be to start, without picking up the phone to try to get a show, they have ended up signing! I am signing my 5th consultant today, IN LESS THAN 30 DAYS!!!
Now, I'm not trying to tell you how to run your biz, but this has been working great for me. EVERY ONE of my recruits has told me "no" at some point, and several have told me no several times, BUT when I started showing them this point of view, they signed! Good luck!

My Friday show is the only open one I have now. She is continuing to get orders like a bandit! As of last night her show was over the 700 level and she said she will be adding at least 180 to it tonight when we are scheduled to close! She is a former consultant and has found something else besides PC to do that makes her really happy so she won't join my team but says she will always keep me in mind if she does decide to re-sign. She has done 3 shows for me so far and also booked off herself for another show in March. I do mention to each host that they can have their bookings to start their own business and I also have contact slips that ask the question... "Would you support your host and book a show with her if she started her own PC business?" So in closing I always give them a # of people that were automatically willing to book with them. But I do like the way you say it Amy... "you can take these three shows plus one more and then stop if you decide it's just not for you, then you make money instead of spend it". I will definitely be trying that! I think once they realize how fun and easy it is they would continue. Thanks for the advice!
