I moved 35 minutes away in March and had to rebuild my business. I started by wearing PC everywhere I went and speaking PC. When shopping I bring my PC calendar and a recipe. I'll strike up a conversation with the clerk or someone in line about the new recipe I'm making. I then am led into PC conversation with them. I found a local fair and did a shift. I went from 1 show in July (which cancelled) to 6 shows on my calendar booked from the one shift. I told everyone what I do. The post office worker, the daycare provider, my husband's clients, put a message on my phone). I have booked from all of these.I would send out a "jump start my business" letter introducing friends/family to your business. Host an open house. I have my new recruits do this. I'm happy to say, that even with a full-time teaching job I was able to jump start my PC business. I had 10 shows in September and I have 10 shows in October. When I implemented 3-2-1 into my life, I found success. Good luck. Let us know how it goes for you this week.
