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

[amy07]

Well, I didn't think I was going to get my contacts since all I was getting was machines, but believe it or not they actually started calling me back!!

So, I did some CCC's - found out the HO dropped the ball on an exchange - good thing I followed back up with the customer.

Booked 1 Feb Catty show
Waiting on a firm date for a Feb cooking show - this was a postponed earlier, but so happy that it is still going to hold.

Post host coaching from this weekends shows - one is coming over Friday morning to close her show and we WILL be talking seriously about the biz.

Then the most important call of the night. I had a November host who cancelled on me,so I figured with February's awesome host special I would try to book her again. She was so down and mentioned that she just lost her job, so I immediately asked her if she had ever considered TPC. Of course she said no, and wanted to know if it is a "real" source of income. We're meeting for lunch on Thursday.

She Signed!!!!!!

phewww! First recruit of 2009 down!! She's a really neat woman and I'm really excited to be working with her. She's someone that I would be friends with even if it weren't for PC - gotta love it!!

 

[amy07]

ok, the rest of my contacts didn't result in much. handed out a recipe card and left messages, but I did get in some GREAT host coaching for upcoming shows. One of my first shows in February is VERY motivated and for the first time in a long time I feel like I'm really coaching for a $1k show. (a girl can hope right)

oh, and I got some great Team calls in today too. And a potential recruit is coming to my show this weekend! *****fingers crossed*****

Got a booking for February 19th today. Okay so I am back up to 5 shows (had 6 then 3 cancelled)!

So 5 down and 3 to book!

Didn't do so well with contacts yesterday, but today is a new day!

Yesterday,
-met two of my neighbors, one wants to place an order that I will add to one of my shows for this weekend.
-booked my first show for Feb.Today, so far:
-talked to one of my recruit leads who cannot observe my show this weekend but is still very interested - will watch show in early Feb. - He can't watch Sat.'s show b/c he is at the swap meet trying to sell his stuff to make money - wish I could get him making money earlier than Feb but he has never heard of PC before me and wants to see a show first (can't say that I blame him, just wish I had an earlier show for him to see)

Holy Toledo Batman!!

I just signed my host from last Saturday!! That's 2 in 2 days!! She'll be off to an awesome start - 2 bookings from her show and a BIG fundraiser. Plus she had enough additional outside orders to count as her first catalog show! I'll admit I'm a little bummed about losing the fundraiser since this was the first good one that I had lined up, but I'm really happy that she will get so many awesome rewards for getting her business off to a great start!

other contacts today resulted in my other host turning me down about the opportunity. But I did book a March show! And an October event - I've done it the past 2 years, but I wanted to make sure they had me on the list again. I've got 3 team members in that area now and I want to make sure they have access to some great events!:thumbup:

Closed a show tonight at $1220 in sales and 6 bookings! 2 for Feb, 1 for Mar, 2 for Apr, and 1 for May!:thumbup:

Then, at Target today, the lady checking me out asked this question "Is business slow for Pampered Chef, too?" Which led to a great conversation, and I ended up getting her #, and I know it will at least result in a booking, if not a recruit.

At dinner tonight, DH was telling me about the book that the Team Leaders at his work are going through. (one by John Maxwell) During their team leaders meeting, they are taking turns leading a discussion on a chapter. His turn is next week, and his chapter is titled "Leadership is a Process". He also has to bring the snacks for the meeting when it's his turn to lead, so my dear, wonderful husband came up with the idea of everyone helping him make the treat, and talking about the process of cooking - and how it can be like the process of becoming a leader. They have a kitchen right in the room where they meet - with an island - which makes it perfect!
We decided a good recipe would be Mom's Apple Crisp in the DCB!

However - we will have to practice it at home first, since he's never used the APCS, the DCB, or most of the other tools involved... His plan is to get everyone involved and working together to make the Crisp.

I told him that basically, he would be doing an interactive show! So, of course, I will be sending catalogs and order forms in case anyone needs anything after the "demo".:thumbup::thumbup:

I had another horrible show tonight!:cry:

Sales are at $87. The only booking was for a February catalog show. The lady said she would try to collect $150 so she can get some cookware.

I am praying I can get more February and/or March bookings when I get on the phone this week!!!

 

[raebates]

I had a response from my newsletter. She's checking her calendar. Spoke with two others. One is looking at a May show.

I just signed up with Pampered Chef in January, I am starting 3-2-1 with all of you!! I have been making at least 3 contacts a day. I am struggling more with the recruit part. Any tips? I did PC about 4 years ago but was not that successful. I love the products and couldn't stay away.

Way to go Becky (with sales, bookings, and a great DH!) and Amy (with those recruits)!

No contacts for me yesterday. It was another afternoon and evening spent 1/2 napping!

I have a show this evening, and the host has no idea who (if any) will be showing up! UGH! She said that when she spoke to the guests, they said, they would "try" to make it. UGH! I am hoping it will at least qualify!

Welcome Donna!

 

[amy07]

back from my show - just shy of $500, but I did get 2 bookings (March & April)and 1 recruit lead - she's 18 still in high school.

Oh, and my potential that observed that my show today SIGNED!!!!! 3 in 3 days!!!

 

[Bren706]

Wow, Amy!! You are on fire!

My show ended up with 7-8 guests. 2 were a mother/daughter (the daughter was a past host from this November) and another were husband and wife. Sales were $189 and the host wanted to close tonight. The past host booked another show for March, but that was the only booking. Tonight's host will book another show over the summer.

No contacts for me today.

Well-- actually, I got a home office lead, sent them an email (number they gave didn't work) and got a reply email saying they signed with someone else.

Other than that, nothing.

Welcome Donna!

 

[raebates]

Saturday I had a call from a past host. She was requesting a catalog for a friend. She's decided to put together a February or March show. We'll talk this week about which fits her calendar best.

 

[etteluap70PC]

Well I officially have a NEED to grow my Biz. I think it will be my new motivation. My DH's co will be shutting down by the end of the year. But he could get laid off anytime between now and then. We are hoping right now he can stay till the end to get the best benefits.

So I am getting back to 321. I will have a minimum of 4 shows a month but 8-10 is my goal.

I have been calling past hosts and so far have a bridal show for June.

It is verry nerve wracking for me I have been shaking durring every call (so dumb isn't it!)
I need to do this for my family. I do not want to be wondering how I will feed my kids!

It starts today!

Every part of that just annoys me! :grumpy::grumpy:

I do like the idea lead system, but for me I often get that type of situation. It is VERY frustrating to me! Especially since I do not get many leads (recruit or sales).

 

[amy07]

no contacts for me today, just hanging out with DH & the kiddos.

 

[raebates]

I don't do any calling on Sundays, but I did have five people approach me at church about PC. Two were about new products--when and what. One of those is a possible future host.The other three wree because I had placed a big basket of PC products in an out-of-the-way corner of our children's ministry building. I was donating a basket for a fund-raising auction one of my friends is organizing. I tell ya, people see PC and go gaga.

 

[ChefBeckyD]

3 contacts yesterday at Church!

Well, one was actual a future host....He stopped me to let me know that he already has 10-12 confirmed "yeses" for his party in March! I am so looking forward to his party. I can already see him on my team! He is a SAHD - has a photography business and plays in a band. He is the last person you would think would host a show - The bass player in a band, w/ a shaved head, and tattoos all over his body (at least the visible parts.). He is not someone I would have assumed would be interested. Just goes to show that we should never assume!

Then, the Director of Small Groups asked me if I would lead a Venture Group on Cooking. These are short term small groups (meet for 8 weeks) that are just for the purpose of getting people connected and meeting people. I am a member of a large church, and it can be difficult for new people to get connected, so one way we try to do that is with Common Interest Groups called Venture Groups. I need to see how it would fit into my schedule, but it sounds like fun!

AND - my pastor just finished a series on Finances, and is next going to be doing a series on - get this - Biblical principles for starting and owning your own business.....so I chatted with him after the service, and asked if he would like to read my book by Doris Christopher.....he asked me to email him a synopsis of the book, and tell him how TPC has changed my life! I think I need to have him have a party!

 

[amy07]

contacts made - nothing great to report other than a catalog request.
back on the phone tomorrow.

 

[raebates]

Seven contacts--one request for a catalog.

 

[amy07]

phew! It took a lot of calls to get the contacts for today. Several no's but I kept going until I ended on a positive - got a March cooking show! Oh, and I also secured an event for May. It's a community yard/flea market but I plan to push HWC items!:thumbup:

and I wanted to add that my recruit's recruit has a potential recruit from her very FIRST show!!!:thumbup::thumbup:

 

[Christ Follower]

I dialed a ton of numbers today. Got mostly answering machines and husbands that took down my name and number to "pass along to the wife."

I did manage to get a hold of a potential booking. She will call me within a week or so to hopfully get a date picked out.

Other than that I just did some host coaching.

I know exactly what you mean by the NEED to do this.

You can do it! Have you listened to the Phone Courage class yet? That may help with your nerves. Hope to "see" you hear more!
