My show this morning had 9 guests, but only one order so far. What is it lately with everyone wanting to look through the catalog more and place their order later???

Also one booking, but it won't be mine, it will be my hosts! I'm going to update the thread about this girl - but she is someone I have been working with, and she told me today she is going to sign!:D
 
show today. only 3 guests - sales a whopping $90. 1 booking for December, but it will go to the host - she's probably going to sign.
I also made some calls yesterday, 1 hispanic market recruit lead to be signing within 2 weeks and my catalog show host will probably be signing as well. We did a little training on P3.
My team is cranking it up right now though in sales. According to them, they have submitted 3 shows that are still not showing up on my IPT with another 2 supposed to be submitted this weekend and 2 being held this weekend. I am so impressed with them! And it's only the 8th!!! I just can't believe it!
 
I did a booth at the Holiday Market this afternoon. I did about $60 or so in sales, no immediate bookings. I will call all the leads tomorrow.
 
I had a Holiday Market Sale today as well - 4 orders ($160 in sales) - added them to my mystery host show from earlier in the week and submitted it - up to $810 in sales for the month which include 5 outlet orders! I'm so earning SAT!!
 
Just got back from my show tonight!

Just over $1K in sales!!! I am SOOO excited since my sales have been suck-o lately.

I also got a November 21st booking and a December 13th booking! WOO HOO!

(the December booking might be a recruit lead too!)
 
Decent show today. She had 10 guests. Sales were about $450. Booked one for my Holiday Host Raffle (my version of 10 x $100) and one February booking. She closed at the end of the show (yippee!).As I was leaving, I checked my cell. I had a call from a friend who has decided that she's ready to have a show. I called back and we're scheduled for Nov 22. I'll be dropping off her kit today. Have I mentioned lately that I love my job?
 
Just talked with one of the guests from yesterday's show. She asked about the Wine Bottle Opener. She said that she has lots of openers, but none of them work. She's really frustrated because she and her husband are wine drinkers. (None of the openers are PC.) I assured her ours is wonderful. I told her I found 1 South African wine bottle that it didn't fit. Other than that, I love it. She was still skeptical. I told her if she didn't love it I would personally drive to her house, pick it up, and arrange a refund. As I was packing up, I realized that I had two more openers at home, so I loaned her mine. I told her if she didn't love it, she could call me. I would cancel that part of her order. She said she would pick up a bottle of wine on the way home. So, I called this evening. Guess what. She loves it! She's the one who signed up for my Holiday Host Raffle. She said she knows she's got her $100 in sales because her wine club friends will all be buying the $20 Wine Bottle Opener. I reminded her about the Stopper/Pourer. She decided since I was right about the opener she'd suggest that and order one herself. I'm so glad I went the extra mile. http://www.smileyvillage.com/smilies/happy0030.gif
 
Yay for you Rae!!

I did some follow up calls from my booth yesterday. I booked a show for December 20th! Talked to a couple of people that want to check with their friends and/or calendar and asked me to call back on Thursday, and left a few messages.

During my few host coaching calls (well, voice messages), I did speak to my host for December 6th. She wants to cancel her show "due to the economy, no one is able to come and order", but she does want to order a thing or two, and I will call her back for that tomorrow.
 
booked a catalog show. and did some host coaching. don't usually make calls on sunday, but I was behind on my HC, so it was needed....
 
Woe Rae! You are on fire! How many does that make for this month now?

I didn't make any new contacts today, but someone from last night's show called to add to her order. Then (for that same show), there was an online order to add. That show is up to $1,150 now!

Then I did a customer care call.
 
That's 7 this month, plus a closing from October. I know the October show won't count towards the SAT, but I'm still happy with the commission. :)
 
I did not make as many calls as I wanted to today, BUT, after making the calls that I did this evening, I checked my e-mails before attempting to put the kids to bed, and one of my November catty hosts (that I sent info to after she inquired about it) sent me an e-mail asking me what she needs to do to get the $155 kit to become a catalog consultant!!!!:sing::sing: I called her, but we decided to talk in the morning when I would have more time to walk her through the agreement.:thumbup:

Other than that, nothing too significant to report, mainly got responses of "I will call you back" or "call me after the holidays".

Oh yeah, the catty host/recruit lead mentioned above has a granddaughter that is one of my Mystery Catty show hosts, so of course those orders will now go to her.
 
Had 3 contacts, but no visible results. Got a show tomorrow.

Had a show tonight - 11 guests, and a booking for January.

Did some host coaching today, and finally heard back from my one MIA host for Nov....she is still planning on the 22nd, thankfully....but I still need her address list.:grumpy:
 
Yesterday I had two contacts at the salon. One took me up on the Holiday Host Raffle. :)There were 6 guests at last night's show. There are just over $300 in orders so far, but the host has several people who want to order. We'll close on Saturday. One booking for February.
 
I have had 3 shows so far this month, with 3 more to go. All very low attendance and saled :(

I have gotten 5 bookings. 1 for Jan, 3 for Jan (I hope) and 1 for march.

I also have new recruit.

Made a bunch of calls last night got a bunch of machines 1 no from a (very past) host, and a postpone from Dec to Feb.

All in all it's been a good month!

WOO HOO, Brenda! Congratulations....that's exciting! :D
 
Haven't posted in a few days, so lets see....

Closed a show yesterday from October at $1,171. This host has had 3 shows for me so far, all over 1K and this was her smallest! I think she was actually a little disapointed....not me!! ;)

Had a show Monday night. Haven't totalled the sales yet, but had outside orders of $250 and there were 8 guests. One guest came to the show wanting to book her own. She booked December 1. She actually wanted a November show, but I had to turn her down, 'cause I'm booked up....what a great problem to have! LOL

Have a show tonight with 15-20 guests expected and the host is signing up too! :D

Had a show last night with 18 guests...it was a bit chaotic, but I'm at $698 in sales with 11 orders, and more coming! No bookings, but 8 of the people there said that if the host became a consultant, they would have a show with her. Although she is a regular host, and has told me No several times about the opportunity, I think I'm going to present it to her again to see what she says this time!

good luck :thumbup:
 
been out of whack the past few days. DD is home sick today, so not sure about calls this evening since DH will be gone.
 
Didn't make too many calls yesterday, but I did talk with the girl at the register at Walmart and got her contact info to send a catty to, and then I also signed my newest recruit yesterday as well!!

Tonight, my upline is doing a Booking Blitz conference call! I need to get myself organized and get my phone numbers ready!

Thanks Marie-France!
 
Participated in a Booking Blitz tonight, and booked 2 Cooking shows for December (one is for the 27th!). Other than that, I met someone at a mutual friends house this morning who was looking for a few mini spatula's. I gave her a recipe card with my contact info on it, and told her if she called me (we were walking out to our vehicles), I could add it to a show.

Wow Brenda! That is great! What did you say/do to book a show for Dec. 27th? I have NEVER had a show past the 15th in Dec....I'd love to know what you did!
 
How are you girls booking past December 15th!? I NEED TO KNOW!!! LOL! I am less than $10K away from earning my first PC trip. Not sure if I will be able to do it now that a bunch of my shows keep cancelling (not giving up yet). I would love to be able to get some booked after the 15th.
 
Oh ya, and for my contacts today, I collected a $40 at church to go towards my mystery host catalog show. Then I think I booked a catalog show. I need to call her tomorrow to see if she wants November or December.

I sent out a big "NEED YOUR HELP" email today so I will see if I can get anything out of it.
 
OK, not a lurker but 2 months into my business and need someone to hold me accountable.

Thanks for the invitation.
 
Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch. I did a bit of host coaching. Last night was my only night this week that I didn't have PC stuff going on, so I took the night off. Got lots of rest and feel great today.
