Ready to achieve 3-2-1 success in 2008/2009?

[chezshelly]

I think this is a great idea. I have been selling Pampered Chef for 4 years. I was at Conference when they first announced 3-2-1. I thought it was a great concept, especially the 2 shows a week. That one was the easy one for me. I think after wave 3 conference this year, I finally got it. Maybe it's that thing where you hear it and hear it and one day it clicks. Anyway, I just told my husband today that it is one of my goals since going to NC, among many others. So I guess, I too, am a lurker that has finally come out into the light!!

 

[raebates]

Welcome into the light, chezshelly!I had four contacts today--five if you count the firmed-up September booking.

My only solid contact today was an order for a rectangle stone. I will take it! I still have time for a few more calls so we will see!

I went to dinner with my 3 aunts and a cousin and asked my Aunt if she would have a party. I didn't get a solid no, but not a solid yes either. I'm watching my cousins while she is up north with my uncle for her bday weekend, so I'll bring it up again (along with a host packet ) when I see her then. I also got 1 aunt who said she would come and my cousin who said she may even come (this cousin said she will never, ever buy anything direct sales or do a party or go to a party, so we're making progress). I also mailed 2 catalogs and a mini, so I will follow up with the full catalogs (met them on the plane coming home from conference) next week (I have their work info). I'm so proud of myself for asking my aunt - she was my first host ever (and a $1000 host too) and hasn't had a show since (28 months). She tried giving me excuses, like who would come (that's when my other aunt and cousin said they would) and said nobody will buy anything (I said how do you know?) and I also mentioned there are 2 years of new products. I'm going to try for an early August show...

Maybe your Aunt is fearful that she won't be able to match her previous show?

my contacts today consisted of "don't call me, I'll call you".******sigh******

BUT! Atleast I got my contacts!

 

[lockhartkitchen]

I'm doing the happy dance! I signed a recruit today!! She puts me back at the FD status. Do any of you Directors live near Las Vegas? She'll need hospitality. I live in Oregon.

 

[Christ Follower]

Okay it seems I posted too soon earlier. I made another contact and it was a booking for August 9th! WOO HOO! That puts me up to 5 for August...3 more to go for my goal!

That's what I started thinking. I will see her this weekend, so I will tell her that while she did an AMAZING show last time, it doesn't have to be that big to be a successful show. I am also going to tell her my goal to network more and how I was very nervous my first show and would like to reconnect with those people. (and I'll just happen to have a host packet with me) As it is my aunt and she is helping me out I would even send out her invites for her and mention the online thing and how easy that is. Thanks for the suggestions!

Are you using your 100 No's sheet? At least your nos today would help get you to a reward

Congratulations!!!!! That is so exciting! yippee!

Too tired to be specific but everyone did great with contacts today. I was "on vacation", so I'll try to get back to work tomorrow.

 

[lockhartkitchen]

Thanks for the congrats. My director was gone today, so didn't get my message. I had to share with someone. You all can do it too. Go back and look at your rolling list of recruit leads, former hosts, anyone that you think would be interested in starting the business and that will be excited about this great offer.

I went to a ball game tonight and one of the mothers saw my Pampered Chef catalog tote and she wanted one, so I gave her one and she had so many items she wanted that tomorrow I'm going to offer her a show to get them all for free! We have a game for the next four days, so I will be seeing her a lot.

 

[PChefPEI]

Had a party last night, so made 10 contacts there. Got one booking for September. Now, as my goal is to get 2 bookings per party, I have to get on the phone and get another booking before my next party.

Have to follow up today as well with some people who want September parties and I have 2 host packets to deliver, so will get some contacts there too.

 

[Bren706]

No contacts for me yesterday. I left a voicemail or two, but then went to the pool for a Bday party.

 

[etteluap70PC]

got an order at swimming yesterday and a possible booking for Dec. got a few voucemails. Had a registry consult. I am pretty sure she will register.
That's it. I need to do some office cleaning and get folders ready for a show Sunday.

 

[GourmetGirl]

So far today I have talked to one past host (mailed her a mini and my mag bus card as she lost it), left a message for a hopeful Aug booking and got a "she will have to call you back" from my 1 confirmed August booking. I'm just proud of myself for picking up that phone!

 

[janetupnorth]

Just got my 8/20 show moved to 8/13!!!!
Calling my other August host to finalize her date TONIGHT - I'm hoping she'll go for the 14th!It'll be an INSANE week but it'll be good to get everything done at once. (I already have the 11th, 12th, 15th and 16th filled with other things).Also need to call my mom who is coming up the 16th-19th to see if she'll come a day or two early and spend time with my kids so they do not miss mom as much!

 

[ChefBeckyD]

Spent a couple hours this afternoon making phone calls - I'm gone tonight, so won't be able to make calls....

Only one live contact though - With a guest from Monday's show - she had marked on her card that she would be interested in a Catalog Show, but I didn't ask about catalog shows during check out, just cooking shows...so, called, and now she will be doing a catalog show in August! Whoo Hooo!

Left voice messages w/ 3 recruit leads, and also left voice messages for a couple booking leads.

Left 3 messages with kids - almost like not calling at all in my book!

I'll be at a Car Show tonight, so will be ready to do business while I'm there!

 

[amy07]

contacts made. add 1 person to my email contacts.
had a show cancel. she's a lawyer. said she has to prepare for a jury trial. Like someones future is more important than a cooking show. C'mon people!!!!










j/k

 

[krzymomof4]

Made calls last night. Got 2 call me in the fall. 1 wanted to order the large micro cooker, but said she wanted to look a little bit more on the website. I honestly didn't think I would here from her, but she called me this morning and decided to book a August catalog show instead
Probably no calls for me this evening. I have my 4 and my SIL's 3. 7 kids who have no volume control is not a good environment for calls.

 

[raebates]

Good day for Rae! I met two lovely ladies in the grocery who asked for my contact info. We talked about PC and also about healthy eating. They're new friends. Talked with three other ladies later in the day. I now have a September catty & an October catty.

 

[chefshawna]

Made a couple calls, no answer. I did give out a mini catalog to a girl at work.
I will hopefully get a hold of some people tomorrow!!

 

[Christ Follower]

Back from my show tonight. Only 3 in attendence. Not quite a qualified show but I did manage to score an August 14th booking! That puts me up to 6...only 2 more to reach my goal.

I also have a potential fundraiser that would be like a kids in the kitchen type thing. No date set for that though.

 

[Bren706]

I had a couple of contacts yesterday. Added one to my e-mail newsletter list and another was a booking lead that I continue to follow up with. Again, she asked that I call late August, for a September show. (She is in the process of moving). She was also a recruit lead, so when I mentioned the promo, she said she is now working 2 jobs. (Suggestions, anyone?)

Also, while closing out a show from last week, the host mentioned a friend could not order at the time, but if it would help her show, she would book a show. The host was not comfortable with giving me her phone #, so I told her if she could get the booking for me, I would give her an extra incentive at that booked show.

She wants to book a show - but you can't have her phone #? That's silly!


For the one working 2 jobs - do you know what those jobs are, and if she likes her boss/hours/pay? Let her know that the bookings from her show can be hers, and that the show could even be her kick off show to get her started!

My show tonight was a total flop. There were supposed to be 10-15 people there. Nope. It was host and host's sister. At the very end her mom showed up to place a $9 order. Sales are at $79 (due to outside orders). We are hoping it'll qualify. I have had some really low show totals this month. Yikes.

Anyway, host said no to the opportunity, sister said no to the opportunity but booked a show for September 19th. So I guess it wasn't a total loss.

 

[Bren706]

Made a couple contacts yesterday. The first one was to follow up with a host that had postponed her show. Have a potential booked date at the end of September for her.

The second contact was a call back from someone I had called the night before, and left a message with the person that answered the phone. That resulted in a booking during the August booking blitz week.
