Want to join me in a W:)W! month challenge for increased sales?

[tlag1986]

Wow when I pledged to do $3000 for November my bookings were 0. I have been working things as much as I can and now have 5 bookings and working on more. I may have a few more possibilities.

 

[heat123]

Working on another show from a freinds referral, if that goes through I will be on # 6! WHoohoo, hopefully more booked at my last Oct party wednesday!

 

[Jayne]

Bumping up...I love reading this thread! Still have 8 cooking and 1 catty for November...I did get 1 December Fundraiser and an October show last night!!

 

[Jessamary]

I have 1 fundraiser, 5 kitchen shows (most likely six, I just need to solidify it), plus I still have 3 more shows this month in which to get bookings! For December, I have 2 kitchen shows and a catalog show.

 

[Jennie4PC]

Right now I have 1 fundraiser and 8 cooking shows. I only have 2 days left open to book and then I can not do anymore shows. I only do shows wed-sat 2 of those days are booked with non pc and we will leave town the day before Thanksgiving.

I'm aiming for Level 4 for SAT. I have 9 kitchen shows and 2-3 catalog shows. I'm still trying to fill 1 or 2 more dates if I can. I don't remember how much my highest month was, somewhere around $4-5000 so if I hit Level 4 I'll bet it!

 

[PChefPEI]

Great thread, Linda! I'm in!!

My goal is to hit $7,000 so I can earn top level SAT (yep, in Canada, we have to get $1,000 more in sales than our American friends....oh well, I can do it!!)

I only have 2 more dates to fill for my November calendar. I've only ever had 4 shows in any one month and top sales month was about $2900. So, we'll see what happens!

Good luck everyone! WE CAN ALL DO THIS!!!!!!!

 

[chefmeg]

[pamperedpnina]

I want to join but don't even know what to set as a goal b/c every thign I think of sound puny in comparison to all your goals! But so far I have only done 5 shows total and most of them were a complete strugle to even get them to qualify!!! I kind of think 1,000 would be a good goal but honestly I want to crush that goal and get at least a 1,000 show!!!!!

Your goals are personal to you! Don't worry about what other people are striving for - if your goal is to reach $1000 in sales and you reach it - that's AWESOME! It doesnt' matter if the person beside you did $7000 - that's not what you were going for. If you set your goals too high or because of someone else, it's going to seem so BIG for you! Baby steps. Reach that $1000 goal, then go for $2000, then $3500, etc... Take it one step at a time.

I'm with Winnipegk...Most of us with higher goals have been selling PC for several years!! My goal when I started was $1000 a month. I went from doing 2 show a month to 8+ shows a month. Give yourself a GOAL and you will succeed and even if you don't quite reach the mark...you can say that you set a GOAL and gave it your best shot! Good Luck with your business...I LOVE MINE!!

 

[ughubug]

It also depends on where you are in your life as to where your business is going. I personally am going into 3 years in November...always been a part timer...Lost my job less than 2 weeks ago and now shooting for the Pampered Chef stars with a goal of 20 shows in November. I had ten, down to 8 due to cancellations from two hosts whose husbands were laid off too....The economy is what it is but it can not ruin my enthusiasm or my business!!! You work for yourself, do what YOU want to do )

 

[pamperedpnina]

ok so your right I'm proud of my goal! I even made myself a goal sheet with little flowers to color in there are 8 flowers and each leave I color in is worth $10 so far I have colored 2 leave and am $1 away from a third

 

[pamperedlinda]

Also, set a goal that is reasonable. If you set a goal that you know you won't reach, then all you will do is wind up distressed and disappointed.

 

[Jayne]

READY, SET...GO! Our November begins!! GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!

 

[suzyhook]

Hi guys,

I've been doing some lurking here and want to jump in if I can. My goal for November is $3000. I have a 1k mystery host catalog show going on, I have 5 catalog shows booked and 2 cooking shows with 3 more waiting to set a date (I'll take november or December!). I also have 4 solid recruit leads and my new recruit is set to qualify this month. She's already turned i $500 and is in teh middle of 2 fundraisers and has 3 shows (I think) on teh books.

I love this thread, it reminds me to get on the phone and get going! Thanks everyone.

[pamperedlinda]

Glad you came out of the dark Suzy! Sounds like you have a great month lined-up.

 

[cincychef]

Just wanted to stay on top of my goals and this is the place to come, I booked my 9th show and I have two events so total of 11 shows. I also have 6 catalog shows going. My goal is to reach $6,000 and recruit 2 consultants in November, also once these are turned in I will have earned Paris so big motivation to host coach and stay on top of my month.

Welcome, Suzy! As Linda said, glad you came out of the dark! Sounds like you're heading for a great month!! How long have you been doing PC?

Congrats on earning Paris!! That is so awesome! You can totally do this! Keep up the good work...you're in for a great month!

 

[etteluap70PC]

I'm in I'm shootin for a 6000 month, I will settle for 3000 but I'm aiming high!

 

[janej76]

I'm aiming for Level 2 of Sell-a-thon (UK) so I need £2500 sales. My show average is £300 so I need to do 8 shows. I've only got 7 booked in, so really need another 3-4 to be sure they all hold!

 

[suzyhook]

I will have 6 years with the pampered chef in March of 09. I've been a hobbyist most of that time. This last year I've just been doing what I can to stay active. We moved to Tennessee 16 months ago for my husband's job and we know NO ONE! I've really struggled with depression and anxiety this last year and am now finally starting to feel like myself again. I was within a year of retiring from teaching because my pc income was nearly that of my teaching income...then my husband dropped the bomb and here we are in tiny Cookeville, TN. Now I'm starting over and it almost feels like I am a new recruit! Except that I don't have friends or family nearby to ask for show bookings!

I am doing my best to get my name out there. I recruited a good freind from Florida (who now lives in Texas) in September. She was set to qualify with the shows she'd booked then Hurricane Ike came through. So she didn't qualify in her first 30 days, but she just turned in a good show and has a couple of fundraisers, catalog shows and cooking shows in for November so I know she'll make it in her 90 days! She has lit a fire under me to get my business back up and running sooo......

I got a booth at a recent Taste of Home cooking school in my area, got several show and recruit leads from that, then did a craft show saturday and got a few leads from that. So now I have the names, numbers and email addresses now I'm working on the CCC. Last night I did 11, only talked to 3 live people. Sent out a few emails, one is booking a January show. Now I'm starting CCC's to those who simply want to order products.

My goal is to become a director my May of 2009. I'd like to work as a teacher for a maximum of 5 more years and then retire to my PC business! that's what attracted me to this thread. I need to feel challenged and I'm ready to get going and do pc full time!

I also would like to tell you all about a plan I'm working right now. I am in the process of looking for a home and I've been in touch with several real estate agents. Some of them I've seen at Open Houses multiple times and they now know me and my husband by name! So, I offered to bake cookies at the open houses and do a small display with some mini cats and business cards. I'll do cookie bake and drop off for $10, or $10/hour if they want me to stay through the open house. In return, I can hand out my mini cats and cards and, hopefully, make contact with people new to the area who are going to need a consultant.

Any suggestions, comments or ideas to boost this plan?

Suzy
