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

[raebates]

I made 4 contacts while I was out and about yesterday. Gave out 3 mini-catalogs.

I didn't do much of anything yesterday except talk about another possible fundraiser. did get some supplies labeled though!

 

[Bren706]

I dialed only 8-10 numbers and left messages. I did get a return call from a potential host that I have been waiting on to confirm a date. She booked March 14th!

Yesterday:
Chatted with my hair stylist about my biz
Went to a networking charity event and passed out 10 or so minis
One lady gave me her email addy for my newsletterToday:
Left 4 minis at the eye doctor's office
After networking last night, I want to be anti-social today....but I still want 3 more bookings for this month

 

[raebates]

Had 3 contacts today. Got a possible catalog show for Feb.

I am sick as a dog today but got a reply email back from a potential catalog show booking. We are set to have a catalog show for her in March. Woo Hoo! I will take whatever I can get right now!

 

[amy07]

I met with 2 new recruits last night to help with some issues and do some more training. no phone calls.

 

[Bren706]

I layed down for a "short" rest at 6:30, and couldn't get back up in time enough to make calls. (Forced myself up to get the kids into bed, and then I crawled back into mine).

 

[amy07]

got an $84 random order from a past host's co-worker. So that is one new one to add to my newsletter list. Talked with some of my team and my host for tomorrow.

I am sick in bed with the flu. No contacts for me today.

 

[lockhartkitchen]

None today, but left a message for one yesterday. She's having an open house to celebrate her new home and wanted to know which Sunday worked for me. Co-worker is still looking through the dates I gave her to pick hers, and I left a message with a husband yesterday- she's from a catalog order that wants a show. These 3 will bring me to 7 shows for February. I need to follow-up on two catalog shows this weekend. I also need to invite some possible recruits to our Monday cluster meeting.

 

[raebates]

Yesterday I made a couple of host coaching calls. I made two contacts. Mostly I spent the day driving to and sitting by my friend's bedside.I have a show today, so I expect to make today's contacts there.

 

[Bren706]

Feel better soon, Ellen!

Didn't put a lot of effort into contacts yesterday (UGH!), but the one I did make resulted in a booking for March.

I also finally reached a MIA for an end of February show to track down her guest list. She rescheduled until May.

I have a show today, so plan on making my contacts there.

 

[amy07]

I'm back from my big whopping $150 show But she is motivated to gather more orders and is following up with the no-shows. But I did get 1 very good recruit lead and 2 bookings. The past host is happy to have her 60% off, and I can tell she is interested in the biz too, but her DH is not on board yet so (sigh) I'll keep her on my loop and keep planting those seeds.

 

[Bren706]

I had a show this afternoon. Had approx 7-9 guests in attendance. She had between 250-$300 in outside orders before the show. Commissionable sales are at approx $550, and guest sales were $570 (The past host ordered a set of cookware at 60%). The past host (from Jan.) booked a March show. The host's daughter is still "thinking" about rejoining, after being inactive for 2 years. (Her concerns is that she has most of the kit items, as well as some duplicates, and also she has back problems and is worried about carrying her kit).

She won't have to worry about taking things out of her kitchen, and she could use smaller plastic containers to help with carrying.

Just came home from a party and rec'd 2 bookings and a possible recruit!!! I am on my way.....I hope the potential recruit joins....I will be praying, I would LOVE to promote...

 

[raebates]

Had a show yesterday with a repeat host. One booking for a Feb catalog show. The host from yesterday is planning to book from the Feb catalog host for a show in July. She's thinking of signing at that show.

 

[cutiechic]

EXCELLENT! Congrats!

Hi ladies,I am trying really hard to be consistent this year. I have done better w/ 3-2-1 this year, but I am no where near where I need to be. I joined a step up class w/ cheryl (Koolotus). My goal is to promote to Dir. So here is where I am at for the month. I have 1 catalog show, 1 live show, 1 fair, and my customer appreciation/mystery host. Yesterday I had 2 contacts for customer care.Here's to a successful year of 3-2-1 (I have to remember it takes 21 days to make it a habbit & I can do it).

Okay, so I have had to put PC on the back burner for a couple months, but now need to get back in the game. I need to go through all my stuff and make a list of contacts that I need to make to get back on track.So, tonight, I am using my time to do that. So, I probably won't get any phone calls made, but I will get my game plan set up so I can get back at it this week.So I am now back and accountable to you guys for what I do...or don't do!

 

[raebates]

No contacts last night. Frankly, I just didn't feel like doing anything. I've sent some things in the mail today. I'm planning to make a few calls this evening.

I finally have a few minutes to make a few calls, and I really don't feel like doing anything myself. I need to muster up some ambition to at least attempt some host coaching calls!

 

[cookin to the top]

I did a booking blitz for the first time, and got 2 bookings, 3 recruit leads, and 1 order. Holy cow! I NEEDED those bookings this month too.....was feeling like my biz was doing a nose-dive.

 

[raebates]

Wound up not making the calls. I had a horrible headache by early evening. Back on track today.

I tried to get on the phone this evening, but didn't get too far. I did try to sort through some potential numbers to call, but of course, I would judge before I picked up the phone. Most of the ones I looked at, I have already tried reaching them for the past 6-8 months or so, and I just want to bless and release. I do not have too many (if any at all) potential booking leads, except for those that I have unsuccessfully tried to contact.

I need to catch up on my customer care calls, and I found a thread from Aug '08 that encouraged me to call some of those old ones, so I am hoping to start that tomorrow.

I need to do this, because we desperately need the $$ and I also want to earn the Disney trip!

The couple of calls I did make were:

~I did speak to 1 potential March host that I have been trying to pin down. She wants a Saturday show, and my first available Saturday is not until the first week of April. She is going to call me back tomorrow to try to confirm a date.

~Received an e-mail from a past consultant of mine that wants to see a current catalog, and possibly place a couple of orders.

~I made a customer care call about an adjustment.

Four contacts yesterday, but no visible results.

4 contacts yesterday, one show booked, one possible show (she's to call me today) and two nos

Hey Everyone!

Haven't posted in a while. I've really been in a funk about my business. I was trying to figure out why. I was taking business that came my way, but had absolutely no desire to get on the phone and book shows. I have 4 shows in February, and that was just fine with me.
We've been sick here for the past month, and I've had a lot going on with my Mom - that has been really draining - and I just let my business take a back seat to everything else.
I did some praying and journaling, and some soul searching....and I decided I just needed to change things up a bit. I'm someone who gets very antsy with routine - I'm the strange duck who actually loves change. I am always looking for a new challenge!

I have been extremely excited about my All-Men show in March, because it was something new and different, and it's the only show I've been really excited about doing. So, I decided to sit down and work on developing a Kids Cooking Show, since it's something else I've been wanting to do, and have just been putting off.

I now have 4-5 Kids Cooking Shows booked for March, and it seems to have rejuvinated me. All of a sudden I am finding contacts everywhere!

At Family Christian Store today, the woman checking me out noticed my PC Coat/Purse duo, and asked about a new catalog. I got her info, and will be following up with her. I also was brave enough (she was very personable and friendly) to suggest to her that she might be great at doing what I do!

At DS's preschool Valentines Party this morning, his teacher asked me if I'm busy with parties at this time of the year. (she is the sister of a friend of mine, and good friends with my neighbor, so she has been to shows) I started telling her about my Kids Cooking Show - and she wants to do something like this for the entire class! Whooo Hoooo!

When we got home this afternoon, I had a phone message from a woman who was invited to a show I have next week. She can't come, but wanted to book a show of her own!

I guess I just needed to change things up a bit and keep them interesting. Now that I am looking forward to some new challenges with my business, I'm excited about it again!

All of that, I guess, is to say that I'm back!
