Just closed out my catalog show - ended up at $507! I love making easy money Now I need to go to bed - can't wait for my commission and PC $$!

 

[amy07]

attempted to contact some MIA hosts. nothing good came of it.

 

[Christ Follower]

Got 2 orders emailed to me today after sending out another plea for help email. LOL!

Also tried desperately to close 2 open shows that I have from the beginning of the month...didn't happen! They MUST go in tomorrow!

Well I've not had the time to really make contacts but have been able in the past week to bump up my January a bit. I had already added the catalog show. On thursday I went to a friends holiday party and one of the other guests spotted my pampered chef bag and wanted to see a book. She had originally placed a $163 order (before tax & shipping) I was going to put it in as a December show along with a few small orders I'd gotten from my 12 days of Christmas sale. Unfortunately for December, I lost that order. But she decided to do a catalog show in January instead. I told her about host benefits and was atamant if she had a show no one would show up but she had no qualms about passing out catalogs. Also I'd called a customer from a November Catalog show that wanted to order some more things. When I spoke to her she didn't need it for Christmas and wanted me to mail a book. I discussed hostess benefits and she may consider hosting, so with the book I sent the host benefits flyer and January host special flyer. So I do have more potential bookings for January. I'm also doing a post Holiday Open House with an Avon Rep and possible handmade jewelry/ lia sophia rep. I'm going to make more calls tonight as well and will post results. Thursday I'm wrapping up my christmas shopping with a friend and may try the trick I read here somewhere. Carry a pampered shef shopping bag in hopes people ask where the PC store is?! It obviously won't help if they need it in time for xmas but it couldn't hurt with contacts!!

I just submitted my last show for the month - had 2 cooking and one catalog and ended with $2206 in sales! I'm psyched for the great commission check and PC $ and free spring product Now I have no shows until January 23rd - need to get some in before then!

 

[amy07]

closed 2 shows yesterday.

 

[Christ Follower]

Got a call early this morning from a guy that wanted to order his wife a Christmas present. Told him the cut off date was yesterday but he still wants it so I got a $50 order. Now if only I had a show to add it onto...

Looks like he will pay more for shipping unless I get a miracle by the end of the day.

 

[raebates]

Closed a show last night--my last for the year.

 

[ChefBeckyD]

Just closed a show that has been hanging out there since Dec 4th - for a big whopping $200 - and that's with me attaching 2 last minute orders to it.

Also had 3 orders on my website yesterday for about $80 total. It's not on my IPT - but it's showing on my shipping page.

I'm done for the year now.

I made the $1500, but it wasn't easy. December was a rough month sales wise. I did about $1800 in sales - but that was 6 shows, and $150 in online orders.

 

[amy07]

no contacts yesterday. And I do not anticipate any for today either. Need to get my house cleaned and organized for company this weekend.

ME TOO! Although, I did have a past host call me yesterday and book a Bridal Shower for March!:thumbup:


I have a Christmas Party w/ my son's class this morning - so there is the possibility for contacts there (I'll be wearing my pink PC sweater!) but other than that, the only other thing I'll be doing is mailing out letters to January Hosts!

 

[amy07]

but Becky, this means that I MUST get the "office" cleaned as we will be using ALL of our house. no pressure there. Good thing it is chilly today - I'll be firing up the stove!

 

[amy07]

I'm so happy!! i just got off the phone with one of my team members and she is reactivating this month!!

 

[ChefBeckyD]

but Becky, this means that I MUST get the "office" cleaned as we will be using ALL of our house. no pressure there. Good thing it is chilly today - I'll be firing up the stove!

Yuck Yuck Yuck! I have to do this too - how am I going to get it done???

I don't need the stove - I need a bonfire!

 

[amy07]

spoke to a recruit lead today - see her every Thursday at ballet. She's still on the fence.
Had a past host call me with an order. She mentioned that she is thinking about hosting in March and for me to follow up after the first of the year.

 

[amy07]

spoke with a recruit lead again today - still on the fence.
Connected with a MIA catty host - she will call tomorrow with her orders. yeah, I'm holding my breath on that one!
Had a past host call me with an small order BUT she did ask me to call her after the first of the year to get a date for March. I can do that!

 

[Christ Follower]

So excited that I have officially earned MIAMI!!!

 

[Christ Follower]

As for my contacts today...

Got an order for a knife block and honing tool. I will be adding it to a couple of other orders I received to submit a $200 show. I am so happy...I will actually be getting a paycheck in January now! LOL! It may only be $50 but it's something!

 

[amy07]

So excited that I have officially earned MIAMI!!!

CONGRATULATIONS ELLEN!!!!:thumbup::thumbup:

 

[amy07]

I've had a few random contacts. Most just CCC's.
Kids are home - I'm exhausted.
And have TONS of wrapping to do.

Had 22 people at my home this weekend. No family fights. Yay!!!!
And my house is almost back to normal. Well, as normal as can be with a 7' tree in the living room!

Have a Merry Christmas to all of you 3-2-1ers. I'll be checking in periodically until after the holidays! Maybe, just maybe I'll get those last few catalog shows submitted. It'd be nice to have a check come January!

 

[Bren706]

Congratulations Ellen!!!

I haven't been very productive at all over the last 7-10 days. I have been quite fatiqued, and had a couple days here and there of being ill, and haven't done much around the house, let alone with my business.

I am hoping to use a couple of days after Christmas to get reorganized, and make some calls on Monday.

Merry Christmas to all of you!

 

[Christ Follower]

Thanks for your congrats ladies!

As for my contacts lately they have been zero. I did get a home office lead order for $37 yesterday so that was nice.

I will resume contacts on the 26th or 27th.

Merry Christmas everyone!

 

[amy07]

I'm a bad, bad, bad Consultant. I just realized that I have not been in good contact with myJanuary hosts, and I have 2 shows for next Saturday (2nd) that I am not even sure if the shows are still on. Guess I better get cracking and get back in "work" mode!

 

[amy07]

so yesterday, I had one host postpone til later in the month. And another who gave her date to her friend, and is rescheduling for later in the month as well. So, I'm happy not to lose any shows, and to actually gain another!

Just sent my Jan newsletter, so hopefuly something will come of that too! I'm finding it VERY hard to get back to work mode -especially with the kiddos home - VERY distracting!

And I am NOT even ready mentally for Leadership next week, although I am looking forward to getting away by myself!!:thumbup:

 

[Christ Follower]

I have not been posting here much (mostly because I was "off" work...lol) but my aunt called me up with a $200 catalog show that I submitted yesterday! WOO HOO! That means I WILL get my director overrides for December!!!

Then...my past host that is now in England (she's in the military), OFFICIALLY SIGNED! What a great way to start off 2009!

I have a show on Friday and a show on Saturday!

 

[raebates]

I'm back in the swing of things. I had four contacts yesterday and another three today. Those resulted in two orders. I also did a bit of host coaching for my next show.

 

[amy07]

so today I had a request for a catalog - possible catalog show

spoke to one of my Consultant's recruit leads - helped her with her online agreement

received an awesome compliment from a past guest - she sent me an email in response to the recipe from my demo. Made my day!

happy new year to all the 3-2-1ers!! May 2009 bless us with sales/recruits so that we can all get to Disney in 2010!!

 

[Bren706]

I have not done a thing since the 15th. (Well, I am in the process of entering a couple of orders for one of my team members who is having a problem with her computer). I have been VERY fatigued, and have been laying in bed or on the couch not doing a darn thing. I took a test on the 20th, and found out I am PREGNANT!!!!!! A welcome surprise! Baby #3 will arrive in August!

I did spend a couple of hours when I somehow got some ambition to clean out my "office" area a little. I am hoping to make some call this evening, as well as work on sending out my newsletter.

I did have one of my January hosts call me to postpone until March.

 

[amy07]

Congratulations!!!
Sometimes, I think I'd like to have another "surprise", but then I come back to reality and remember that I closed the factory after the twins!

 

[Bren706]

Thanks Amy! I just had my first appointment on Wednesday, and already mentioned to the doctor about closing the factory after this one. I thought I was done after two (especially now that the 3 yr old is in preschool, and I had some free time), but I guess there were other plans.
