Starting Again...just Not for the 2Nd Time....

[naekelsey]

Due to a "not so nice" marriage and a even messier separation/divorce, I have had to start and stop selling PC a few times. Things are finally settled with the kids, no longer having to move, divorce is final and etc. So now, for the last time, I am able to sell PC consistently and not have to worry about giving it up. I love the PC products and what the company stands for. I do need to work somehow to bring in money to pay the bills but working outside of the home with all the things I have to consider, like not having to leave my kids alone before and after school, is not even an option.

My problem is finding bookings. I have done my list of 100 more than once. My friends and family have been more than understanding with everything I have been through with helping in any way they could. Just now, they are all "booked" out.

I have gotten a few orders here and there from a stock list of items I need to get rid of but nothing major and certainly no parties.

Does anyone have any suggestions??

*My bf made some stickers to put on my car today advertising PC with my info on it. I am just not counting on it getting all the interest I would I like in such a short amount of time..(I know it will be great for the long run)

Vendor events/craft/holiday bazaars. When you need outside of your circle connections, that is the BEST way to generate leads. Of course, utilize the connections you have from your kids, church, sports activities, your hair dresser, the tellers at your bank (go IN the bank, not through the drive thru). Of course other than the bazaars, these others require building relationships, thus time. Make a point to talk to at least 3 people every day while you're out and about. You can make it happen! Best wishes!

I agree with the craft fairs/vendor events as well.

Here are some more ideas to check out. Leads are everywhere! Just get out there and don't be afraid to start a conversation.

Just starting a conversation with a "stranger" is really outside of my box but know it's something I just have to do. Working on it. Only have 1 shirt that says PC on it so thought about making some iron ons for some blank t shirts I have. Will go through the list tonight and start looking at fairs and such. Thank you for the ideas.
