So I've only been a consultant for three months now. I dont know if it is different between Canada and the US but I fortunately made my $1500 in commissionable sales in my first like 40 days from friends and family. Unfortunately I have now run into a problem. Every contact that I have I've talked to and no one wants to host, or do catalogue show or even to buy something from my website.
Its right after Christmas and I've haggled people and Im just sick of haggling. Im a nice person I do not believe in being too pushy, especially with my family and friends.
No one can afford to book. NO ONE! Ive gotten suggests around the clock from my recruiter, director, other consultants. Ive made my lists. Ive gone to coffee shops, hair dressers, dentists, doctors. No one can afford it they tell me they cannot afford it.
I did get contacted for a Pampered Bride Cooking Show to set up in a couple of months. This is great but I need to pre-order my Spring Catalogues this month so that she is able to go through them and update her wish list for when we have the show. Plus Im donating a small basket of stuff for her Jack and Jill for advertising. Thus said, I can't do samples, personal or pre-orders because I was inactive for December (cause everyone told me they were too busy!)
I have 13 days to come up with a $200 order from people who cant order.
I guess im more on a rant if anything. Im very discourgaged and feel like quiting after i do the Bride show. I feel like Pampered Chef was just a huge scam that I fell for.
Any advice is welcome.
