Okay - in the past 3 days, while "out and about" I have been approached by 4 different people wanting to know if I sell PC (of course I'm always a walking billboard). In every instance except one - I gave them a catalog with my info, but didn't get info from them in return. I KNOW I should always get info, but here were the circumstances:
1. - I was doing last minute grocery shopping for TG, w/ my 2 yr old in tow, and a demo lady at the Grocery store asked me for a card etc.....she was very busy (and working), and I didn't feel I could have her stop and give me info in the middle of a crowded store with others waiting behind me
2. - In line at Costco - The Cashier was gushing about PC, and said she wanted to book a show after the holidays - I gave her a catalog - but again, there was a long line, and I didn't feel I could stop the line to get her info.
3. - In the middle of a toy store, with my DH and son - a lady again stops and tells me she has been looking for a PC consultant - I give her info., and then her husband and kids interrupt, and then so do mine - and the opportunity is gone...
4. - In the Parking Lot of the Christmas Tree Farm - the lady parked next to us almost jumped on top of me she was so excited to see that I was a PC lady! I was able to get a business card from her, and will be emailing her and following up with a phone call!
I have this sinking feeling that the first 3 I will never hear from again....although the cashier from Costco - I know her first name (It's on the receipt) so I could always go hang out there and get in her line again when I see her.
Soooo - I was just wondering what you all would do? I do usually try to get their info, but it just seems like I couldn't this past weekend - and I'm feeling a bit frustrated with the fact that I may have lost some good opportunities - and would like some strategies in place so it doesn't happen again!
