:chef:So today, another consultant and I (she recruited me almost 2 mths ago) went halves on a mall booth. We both brought different products to display.We held free food for the cooking party drawings. So, here are my stats from today:
***A new "go getter" Recruit! (I was speechless when she said YES!!! shes been wanting to do Pampered Chef for some time)
*** 3 cooking shows for Jan. and Feb!
*** Many leads as well.One vendor was a Wedding planner who said the brides would LOVE the P.C. Wedding registry! Shes going to gather the new brides up and wants us to do a cooking demo to promote it!!!
** 2 Catalog shows!!
All of this in 6 hours! It was WAY worth my $32.50.
I am over the moon with excitement!
Thanks for letting me share!:thumbup:
 
That is GREAT!!! keep it up....:D
 
congratulations! I guess these holiday booths do work for some. I have had four in my last four months and only one yielded anything but heartache.
 
What a super successful booth!! I'm so glad to hear it went so well! :thumbup:
 
Those are great results!! Be sure to follow up with your other leads. Who knows how many other shows you'll fall into!! Congratulations!
 
Way to get your first booth over and out of the way. Also way to go with all your new leads, shows, and recruit.

I will have to do my calls in 48 hrs.We leave for Cali tuesday night!
 
Congratulations. I struck it rich too, at a Nov. 22nd booth at my church. I have already submitted two shows that resulted from my having the courage to ask. They
qualified me for the free spring product, and that makes me happy for December.
 
Awesome job! Way to go!
 
Wow, what a great experience with a booth project. I am planning one for the summer.
 
I've done 7 craft fairs/holiday fairs in the past 8 weeks.. I've gotten, 2 recruit leads. 9 shows for Jan/Feb and over $150 in sales. most were good but I had 2 that were poor. The one I talked to aot of people but had no sales or bookings. But 1 week after the show I did have 2 women call me to place orders.. so it wasn't a total loss...
