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

[jessicafawn]

Thanks Rae for your response... I'm going to start my 3-2-1 first thing tomorrow morning, it's 10:15 PM here for me, so it's a little too late to be calling people.I'm not feeling the greatest, thanks for your concern though. I have to have x-rays done on my chest because I have a nasty cough that just doesn't want to let me go... I'll be fine though. Thanks again.

Hey Amy...we're here!

Just got home from our big Fall Kick Off Meeting. It was fun! I can now say that there isn't a loser in the bunch for the new recipes.

I had 2 new consultants who went with me - both are signing this week...they were both excited after attending...which is exciting for me! I am so geeked with how my team is shaping up....for the first time, I feel like directorship is really within my reach!

Both of my new consultant are having Grand Opening Shows the last week of August...and I have 2 shows booked for that week - it's going to be a busy week for me!

Way to go Becky! Sounds like all your cards are falling into place! I didn't have any contacts today - worked all day on not enough sleep! I did talk to my boss on Thursday (she asked me for a catalog and before we could talk more we saw a mouse in the office!), so I'll bring a catalog in for her tomorrow. I talked to all of my hosts this weekend - here's to 3 shows in 7 days (I've never done more than 2 in a week before!)! For the next month I don't think I will be on much - we start orientation training Monday (training is all day - through dinner, including meals!) and next week I have 2 shows, plus leave Friday for a wedding I'm in, come back Sunday only to go strait to work for actual Orientation where I'll be at work pretty much 8am-9pm for the next 2-1/2 weeks! Augh! So here's to booking 2-3 more Sept shows at my shows as I won't have time to get on the phone at all! So good luck - we can do it!

Had a show tonight. Sales are just under $500 with more coming in. Suddenly the host is interested. I told her I would GIVE her the show IF she decided to sign. I also got a booking for August 26th! (Yes...I AM crazy). I also got a booking for November 10th.

So if the host doesn't sign, her cousin (a lead of mine for over a year now) might. If either of them sign, then the above bookings will go to them of course.

I also had TWO more biz leads from this party! I will follow up in the next 48 hours with both of them.

I got an online order for $12 today as well...every little bit helps!

I have done next to nothing since Thursday afternoon. I came down with a cold that day, left Friday morning to visit my dad and go to the beach, and brought my cold with me. (Spent a lot of time laying on his couch, but managed to spend a few hours on Saturday and Sunday on the beach). While I was there I did talk to the woman in charge of the Ladies Auxillary of the VFW post, and put a fundraiser cooking show on the calendar for October.

Other than that, made no other contacts, and no host coaching calls (some much needed calls) as I was just totally exhausted! I am hoping to start catching up today.

awesome job Ellen!!!

 

[ChefBeckyD]

Making calls today to hopefully get some RSVP's for my Opportunity Night on Thursday....I'm getting nervous that no one will come!

Just talked to my host for tonight - she says 12 rsvp's. It makes me nervous when the hosts want to do the invitations themselves.

This seems to be a new trend. Every show this month, the host has not given me a list - all of them have said "oh - I'll just call everyone and email them myself."

I will be in recruiting mode this evening for my show.

 

[byrd1956]

16 calls today...only 2 live people that want me to stay in touch. training tonight on new recipes and products @ my director's home

Too bad about only 2 live people but WAY TO GO on making 16 calls! :thumbup:

 

[raebates]

Barely made my 3 contacts for today. One was the phlebotomist who took 3 vials of my blood. There are days I wonder if they think excess blood is the cause of my diabetes.Left lots of messages, though.

 

[amy07]

only 1 contact. had my team meeting tonight.

 

[JAE]

I'm here, Amy! I was on a mini vacation from Wednesday to late Saturday with no internet accept once. I quick went to a library to check my e-mail, but no other internet usage. I sort of made two contacts on Saturday morning, but I didn't get their info. I gave them the mini catalog and showed them my website address and talked about the great economical and quick recipes.

Anyway, today I made four contacts and received 3 "No's" and the fourth contact was supposed to have had a catalog show last month. She was MIA, but it's because they had to move out of their house for 3 weeks because the dog had fleas. So she is still wanting a catalog show. That's good. It's a bit of a relief to check off the "no's".

I went to a great team meeting last night with Becky (not my own) and tried way too many new recipes. Many were good. Now, if I could get some shows to demo these great recipes. Tonight I went to my cluster meeting and we talked about getting bookings and I made a list of 14 people to call in the next few days. There are usually only 2 or 3 of us there, but tonight there were 6 of us there. Hopefully that is a new trend.

 

[amy07]

glad you're back!!

 

[Bren706]

I was still feeling a little exhausted today, and the kids were driving me bonkers, but managed to get in a couple of calls, making 1 contact to a past host for a customer care call. ( I heard from my friend that she needed to call me, so I called her first). I asked her about renewing her PHD. She said to call her late October about a November show.

Another call was to my August 30th host to confirm her show was on, even though it was Labor day weekend. (My brain must not have been working when I highlighted that day as an available one, I didn't realize it until last week.) Her show is a go! Even after her stay in the hospital for two weeks for a ruptured appendix!

Left a couple messages.

 

[chefmeg]

2 NEW consultants on my team as of yesterday! Shows tomorrow and tomorrow night and Saturday!!

[chefmeg]

YOU BETCHA!!

THis takes my team to 4 and I have another girl signing before the month is over!
Sales will NOT be a problem!

Now my focus is on getting these new girls going strong AND growing my team even more!

Thanks for asking!

How are things in your next of the PC pond???

 

[jessicafawn]

Haven't made my contacts today but it's still very early. I'm meeting with a gal I worked with for lunch and she recently remodeled her kitchen so that's my in. I'm going to try and talk with my FRG (Family Readiness Group) President about a fundraiser, so that'll be #2... and then I'll go to my customer list. Does anyone have a way of keeping track of who they've called and what the outcome was? I may have asked this before but I thought I'd ask again.

Hope everyone is having a GREAT PC day.:balloon:

 

[JAE]

I've made two contacts and left a couple messages. I have a new catalog show for August as of today. Now I have two catalog shows this month. My other contact is contemplating having a show, but she thinks her neighbor should have a show because she knows way more people. So, we'll see. I could still make more calls until I reach a live person, but not sure if I will do that or not.

Okay, so I made a few more calls, left a message and asked three more people about hosting shows. One said "no", but she was very nice. She loves the stone she bought at the last show. The other two people are extremely busy, but yes/maybe want to have a show. So, one will call me soon after kids' sports schedules are on the calendar and the other wants me to call her on August 25. She's going to talk to her bunco friends about the new consultant opportunity. I told her I need a consultant up there because an hour and a half is a long way for me to drive for a show and I have at least 5 potential bookings there. It was a good night.

 

[raebates]

Left several messages. Three live contacts. Plus, I did a bit of host coaching. Spent part of the day getting ready for tomorrow night's show.

 

[amy07]

made lots of calls, few contacts. Wednesday nights are hard because of church services here. I know that, so I should've planned ahead but of course I like to use an excuse when I didn't do what I should've done.
Also got in a little host coaching.

<Sigh> After coming off an awesome month last month and a great average, I was HOPING it would continue...show was fun as usual, everyone loved the recipe and had fun but all I could get was a catalog show booking for September and $300 in sales. She should make it to $400, but I was really hoping for $500 because I want my envelopes! My usual "booking charm" didn't work. I can usually get show bookings, but these women love to attend shows and WILL NOT book! Even the one that was a self-proclaimed cheapskate wouldn't do a catalog show to get 60% off cookware she wanted. ??!?!?!?Oh well, on to tomorrow's show and maybe that will be different. It's a smaller show but those are sometimes better!

 

[JAE]

It's great that you are having shows this month. August isn't a great month for me, this year or last.

 

[janetupnorth]

It's great that you are having shows this month. August isn't a great month for me, this year or last.

My August fell together suddenly with 1 show in July! Today AND tomorrow's bookings are off the same show!

 

[JAE]

I have two catalog shows for August, and I'm really pushing the bookings. I'm asking my hosts to ask everyone, telling them what they get from bookings. We'll see.
