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

[amy07]

got a January show!! Lots more empty spaces to fill......back to the phone tomorrow!

 

[amy07]

oooh, I forgot my stepmom called me with $80 in orders. She said her neighbor took the catalog to work so she'll check with her later this week. Maybe a small catty will come of it. What I'd REALLY like to see, is a booking for January. I could use the tax deduction for the toll to go visit my Daddy!! (I have to go over the Chesapeake Bay Bridge/Tunnel to get to his home - $12 ONE WAY)

I made two phone calls tonight. One potential host just graduated from nursing school today, so needs to get back to me. Her brain is swirling after finishing up her "clinicals" and taking an exam. Left a message with the other potential.

Went out to dinner and a movie with my SIL last night, so didn't make a whole lot of contacts. But, did get my 3 in!

1) Gave a friend of mine a catalogue. I do believe she'll be doing some Christmas shopping.

2)The girl who wanted some things emailed me. Her order is over $200!!! So, I will make it into a catty show for her.

3)Got in touch with another lady who wanted to place an order. Apparently sent a message to HO about 3 weeks ago, but no one called her. She got my name from a friend of hers who is a good friend of mine. Gotta love referrals!

4)Closed my other SIL's show from Nov 24 and it was $208.

Tonight, I have to get my old stove out of the way and clean behind it, 'cause I'm getting a new one Friday afternoon!!!! I'm SOOOOO excited!!!! My DD's new bed is coming too, so have to clear a path for that...

So, I may not get too many contacts made, but lately, people have been calling me, so we'll see how it goes. I do have some calls I'd like to make, so may just take 15 minutes and get them done.

I was very lazy yesterday, and had a hard time getting the ambition to pick up the phone.

I did speak to a nieghbor who had taken the catalog to work to see if she could collect some orders. She had no luck there, but does want to order a few things herself. (I will get her order tomorrow night at BUNCO). She also gave me the phone number for a woman that was at a bday party we had attended that was interested in the opportunity, and said she would call me. I called her, but she was not home.

I also got an e-mail from a MIA host (and talked to another) letting me know that both shows are still a go.

My show tonight was not go good. She was expecting 10-15 and 4 showed up. One of the 4 went home sick.

Sales are at $89. I did get a January booking but she doesn't seem to think anyone will come so that is going to take some serious host coaching.

 

[raebates]

I had an out-of-the-blue call yesterday placing a $45 order. Love those.Also, my son decided that he needs to host some shows once he gets settled. His idea is that we do it via phone. I give instructions, and he acts as my hands. He's a goof!

Hey! Were we doing the same show?

Actually, I had 3 people - weather was pretty bad, and the roads weren't good - ton of people canceled last minute. One order for $15, but the host assures me she will get tons of outside orders.

It was a yucky drive home!

 

[c00p]

Made about 12 phone calls last night - all messages but 1, my last phone call. It was to a "former" PC consultant and after talking a bit, she is wanting to sign up again!!!! WOW!! What a way to end the night!!

 

[amy07]

I cannot remember what I did yesterday aside from talking to a recruit lead.

Tonight show had a pretty good attendance (7) in comparison to my shows last month. However one was blind and the mother of Consultant in my directors cluster. Another didn't place an order and wouldn't fill out a DPDS - so no info there. Right now it's just over $300 though, but she expects a few more orders.

I did get an out of the blue order today. I had a catalog show a few months back that I just sent out Thank You postcards for. One guest, a lady in an area that I have been trying desperately to get bookings in called me for an order for a mix'n chop. Not big, but I know that I would've never gotten it had it not been for that postcard. I'm sending her a catalog and will follow up for a show hopefully in January!

Today's contacts for me were:

#1. "Please take me off your email list."
#2. HO lead order for $36.
#3. My PH rep called me to order some prep bowls.

 

[raebates]

Got another out-of-the-blue-order call last night.

 

[Gina M]

Had a Holiday Market at a grade school today - got a few orders just over $100 - my host will be happy tomorrow when I add them to her show. Have a mother/daughter show tomorrow - 10 moms and 17 daughters! Mostly older kids so hopefully it won't be too chaotic. The host made a bunch of cookies for the girls to decorate tomorrow while I do my demo - should be fun. Host already has $195 in outside orders - gotta love those ones

 

[janetupnorth]

I sent out a "2008 Customer Appreciation" e-mail late last night. I got 1 $80 order this a.m. - that is good! I'm hoping to get enough for 2 shows this month to get my free product then kicking back until January. WAY too many activities this month. We have every night from 12/14 - 12/18 booked, not including class for me on 12/10 and 12/17, DS B-day on 12/10, activities on 12/21, 12/24, 12/25, 12/29, and I'm SURE I'm missing SOMETHING! Yikes!

Did an open house/bazaar at a shoppe today and got about $200 in sales and TWO January bookings!

I was hoping for higher sales (since I am working hard for Miami), but am pleased with the results I did get.

 

[raebates]

Did a Ladies' Day Out yesterday. Even though our weather was really lousy, I had over $200 in orders, a couple of bookings, and several people to add to my newsletter list. All in all, I'm pleased. I'm waiting until tomorrow morning to submit the show. I have a couple of people at church who were talking about placing orders, and I'll add those.

 

[amy07]

yesterday my family and I particpated in our community Christmas parade. I had a lady tell me that the church we have been visiting wants to do a show after Christmas. Oh, and some host coaching. I have a show today that I am hoping turns out well (obviously), but by well I mean January bookings!

 

[Bren706]

I had a booth at a Holiday Bazaar at a recreational center yesterday. Traffic was very slow. I only had 1 person fill out the drawing slip, well two, but the second one was a past host from this summer that wants to book for March, but she will do that at an upcoming January show. Sales were nil, besides a few Twix-it clips and SB.

I made no calls last night, as we spent the evening assembling the Christmas tree.

I have a show this afternoon. The last time I spoke to the host she said she was expecting about 20-23 out of the 28 or so that she invited. (For some reason, I really think it may only be 8 or so).

 

[pcsharon1]

I had a show Friday night - so far it is just over $400. There were a lot of people there! I want to say about 15 or so, but in this area (which is closer to my home than my usual area) each customer spends less. If I drive the extra 45 minutes each way and have 15 people I will have at least $700 in sales. I'd prefer the drive but I don't turn down business, so I just keep plugging along. I am hoping she at least gets to $500. I have another show next Sunday night.

As of right now I have 4 shows for January and am trying to book 5-7 more plus get at least two catalog shows. I'd like to know how many shows everyone is trying to book for January and February?

 

[Gina M]

I had a mom/daughter show today - there were 12 moms and 19 daughters there! The girls had a blast decorating cookies that were baked with the cookie press by the host's 14 yr old yesterday. Her sales are at $853 right now (that's including 5 orders I added to her show as well) - she had 7 outside orders of her own. I got one definite booking for spring and another woman wants to do a fundraiser. I need to get some shows on my calendar for Jan/Feb - only have one on Jan. 23rd. I will start calling more people tomorrow and hope for the best. All in all - a successful day!

 

[Christ Follower]

Had a party this afternoon/evening and it stunk.

Only $124 in sales (so far). NO bookings. No recruit leads.

 

[Christ Follower]

But I should have mentioned that earlier in the day I got an email order for the loaf pan and an order for a mini measure all from someone else.

Hi Ladies,I am a flake sometimes. I did not have any contacts today. I was exhausted from my holiday shopping extravaganza last night.I was a little bummed only 12 people showed up, I have a $300 show, sold about $60 in cash & carry, booked a January show & received 3 new emails for my newsletter. I made a ton of contacts last week when I was calling to remind my guests about the shopping extravaganza. This week I am sending out my calendars & Christmas Cards. I wrapped the calendars in tissue paper. My goal is to book some more shows for January and find my 5 bingo hosts for our PC bingo night.Good Luck to everyone on 3-2-1!!! Have a beautiful week!

 

[Bren706]

I had a show yesterday afternoon. There were only 7-8 guests, and only 3 of them placed orders. (Only 1 of the 8 guests had been to a show before). Sales are at $236 including 2 outside orders. No bookings! There was 1 guest that had to leave early, and MAY do a catty show.

I did get an e-mail this morning from a past host that did a show in August. She would like to have a show in January. I will e-mail her my available dates.

Hope to get lots of call in today (I need to do some host coaching too), because tomorrow night I will be at DS' winter program at school.

 

[amy07]

so my show yesterday had 6 of the 12 show up. Sales are just under $400 (with me adding some orders I had here). The host is supposed to be following up on the no shows to get their orders.
Oh, and I lost a Christmas order for the knife block & Knife set because they are made in China!!:grumpy::grumpy:She said her husband said that he will buy her German knives only!

This week I'm going to do some major CCC's and seek out some more bookings......

As many of you know, I've powered down my business for the holidays. Well, I hadn't closed my show from the Ladies' Day Out expo I did on Saturday. I had about $200 in orders from that. I knew there was at least one person from church who was talking about ordering for Christmas, so I was giving him a chance before transmitting it. I didn't see him, though. (We had our children's program, so the place was packed.) I thought I'd have The Furry Guy give him a call this morning (in case his wife answered) to let him know the cut-off date and that we'd be leaving town for several days. However, I figured he simply decided to go another direction with her gift this year.After church we went to my brother's house to celebrate my nephew's 5th birthday. By the time we got home I was thinking, "It's not like they'll get it processed tonight. Tomorrow will be early enough to get the orders in." I puttered around the house, and was just getting ready to sit down and complete things with the show when the phone rang. It was the guy from church. He said that his wife was wanting a couple of pots. That's when he ordered both Executive Cookware sets. That's right. He placed an order for both the 7-Piece and 5-Piece Executive Cookware Sets!When he stopped by with the check, he told The Furry Guy that he didn't order online because he was afraid I wouldn't get commission that way. The Furry Guy assured him that using my website would give me the commission. He may do that in the future. There's nothing like sitting in your bathrobe and making $150+ by answering the phone. Have I mentioned lately that I love my job?

 

[janetupnorth]

WOW Rae - that is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Could be. Could be.
