Round Up From The Heart: 18 Trivets Sold!

[dannyzmom]

Just curious how many Round Up From The Heart trivets you all have sold...I know when we had the heart molds, I probably sold all of TWO over the years. But since we released the trivets back in what, September? I have already sold 18 of them!!! They are VERY popular around here!!

 

[PampMomof3]

I've sold 14 of them since they have been released!!!!

 

[dannyzmom]

I think these are SO much nicer than the old heart molds. Much more up to date and classy...not to mention they're helping my sales -- the molds didn't make a dent in my sales...

 

[pamperedlinda]

I've sold 12

 

[DebbieJ]

I've sold about 20 as well. MUCH MUCH MUCH nicer than the heart molds!

 

[dannyzmom]

I Can't Wait To See The New One In The Fall!

I have sold alot at Christmas time one lady bought 11 for gifts . I did not really sell alot of the heart stoneware molds either . I really like the Trivets , you can use them for so much more .

I've sold 39 so far. I did pretty well with the stoneware ones too.

Wow Beth!! That's fabulous!!!!

Do you guys actively talk about them at shows, or people just see them in the catty? I bring mine for display but don't talk about it, and I have never sold any...

 

[jenniferknapp]

I've sold 1....

 

[BethCooks4U]

I ALWAYS talk about them and pass them around so everyone can really see how nice they are. I talk a lot about the Second Harvest Food Bank and rounding up too. I am the PC rep for SHFB for my area and it is a passion of mine to help get food on everyone's table.

I would promote the trivets even if they weren't the SHFB product because I just love them!

Some people don't know what a trivet is so be sure to explain its use.

 

[crystalscookingnow]

I talk about them at each show. In the beginning of my show, I go through my lapboard contents. I highlight the order form which has the RUFTH donation & then I say 'If you'll look at page 23 in the catalog, you'll see another way you can participate in the RUFTH program. This beautiful trivet (and I have it there for show) is only $12, with $2 going to America's 2nd Harvest'. I've sold 5 since Christmas.

 

[letscook04]

I've sold 15!!

 

[Ginger428]

I bring it to every show & talk about the food banks & how many CHILDREN go to sleep every night HUNGRY....Once a month I cook for a soup kitchen through my church & they also get help from the food banks. I also tell my guests that by giving it as a gift they are double gifting....also for every 1.00 the food banks give back about 20 Lbs. of food! OH...I've sold 33...

 

[cat]

I talk about it at the beginning of each show and I usually sell at least 1 or 2 at each show...

I also bought quite a few for teacher gifts and Christmas presents...

 

[Jennie4PC]

I have sold 10 of the trivets I believe I only sold a few of the stoneware molds

 

[Norma Goolsby Thomas]

[speedychef]

I've sold 12. I LOVE them and I LOVE Crystal's idea of talking about them at the beginning with the order forms. I wish I had sold more! I better get on it!

As a side note, I've heard of other consultants who automatically round up the orders, and I've started to do that, too. When I give the talk, I make sure to say, "BE SURE TO LISTEN TO THIS!" and tell them that if they don't want to round up to cross off that line on their order form. I only have a few that don't round up. It always makes me laugh a little, though, when I get to the end and tell them, "your total is $48," and they're surprised. "Even? Wow!" Cracks me up that they pretend to pay attention to me and don't! Oh well!

Yep, I automatically round everyone up. It works great.

Really!?!!!! That is interesting....I guess I should try that! Have you had anyone get annoyed that you did it (even though you told them in the beginning and they weren't paying attention?)

 

[DebbieJ]

Nope, no one is annoyed. This way it's one more question I don't have to ask at checkout. More time to get them to book and join me.

 

[PampMomof3]

I automatically round up as well! Usually guests are happy to help. I do tell them that if they don't want to, just put a line in the space provided.

 

[DebbieJ]

Hey Kristi, GO TO BED!!!!

 

[PampMomof3]

You're funny! I am going but you're not slowing down!! My daughter is still awake (she took too long of a nap way too late!!) and she's telling me to go to bed as well!!

 

[DebbieJ]

My consultant didn't answer....I told DH I'd see him at 10 p.m. I still have 3 minutes.

 

[PampMomof3]

Alright, night!!!! No more posting Deb!!! Just kidding!!

 

[DebbieJ]

I think we both racked up about 100 in the last hour.

 

[rebeccastt]

Wait...isn't it 1:00 in the morning there? How old is your daughter???

 

[sillylittlechef]

Do any of you have scratches all over your trivet? I only used mine once and the top of the surface has scratches on it. They are very noticable so I Do not take it to shows. I don't know but I think my DH may have used it when I wasn't home with stoneware...and maybe slid the stoneware on it. Should I get a new one to take to shows? I just don't feel comfortable selling something that will scratch so easily. Just wondering if anyone else has had the same experience. I do think it is pretty though. (before scratches)
