I was so excited to do all my CCC calls today! I got a baby sitter, spread everything out on the floor, practiced what I'd say over and over. I had not done any CCC since I started in June, so today I was ready to go and get lots of bookings! I knew my excitement was going to rub off on everyone I called. Well, so far I have called over 20 people! They are either not home, not interested, or treated me like I was the most annoying person there was!

I still have lots more to do, but I am not as excited as I was..

Just had to get on & vent.. Back to work, I guess!
 
I try to do mine (When I Actually Do Them) at night or on the weekend b/c I rarely get anyone during the day on a weekday.
 
Keep up the good work! I'm proud that you are putting the effort into your business to make good things happen. It will pay off!

There was a sheet floating around here that had 100 no's on it. You're 20+ closer to filling that sheet! :D
 
I had that happen to me a few months back and I was so frustrated, so I feel for ya.
it will get better, I have been bad, I hardly do them because I have been so busy this month and just haven't had time. I have been e-mailing, but the calls, just haven't been doing them :(
 


I completely understand your frustration with the CCC calls. It can be disheartening when people are not receptive or seem uninterested. But don't let that discourage you! You have put in so much effort and preparation for these calls, and that shows your dedication and passion for your business. Remember, for every "no" you receive, you are one step closer to a "yes." Keep pushing forward and don't give up. You never know who might be interested in hosting a party or joining your team. Keep up the great work and stay positive! Wishing you all the best in your future CCC calls.
