[JAE]

Anyone else want to share?

This has my Caddy shows to
April 717.55 but I had 4 1000.00+ shows too
May 614.88
june so far 613.96 3 shows 5 more to go

 

[ChefJeniLobdell]

April - $671.98 show average with 3 cooking and 1 catalog
May - $351.60 show average with 2 fundraiser, 2 cooking and 1 online order. One of the fundraising and one of the catalog show sales were really low.

Hope June is going to be alot better. I had five scheduled. One reschedule to later in the month and another has to reschedule and hasn't called back yet. Really want to keep 5 shows so I can earn those fall products.

Since January of 2007 - my cooking show average has been $758 - my average for cooking shows since I began in Sept. 2005 is $652. For the last several months - April average with 2 cooking shows is $648 and May with 2 cooking and 1 fundraiser is $788. Since I tend to only do a couple of shows a month - I'm pretty happy with my higher averages!

Gina, I'll see you at Wave 1. I'd love to get any and all tips from you about how you get and keep your show average so high.

Ok, I see my first 5 cooking shows have been less than some of you -- my average in May on 3 cooking shows was 488.05, and my 2 June shows haven't closed yet, but don't look real big either.

So - is it the time of year? Or is it me? What do I need to concentrate on for areas of improvement?

May-$616.03

What I would like to know is what are ways in which some of you have improved your show average? I will start to be fair:

1) I have a preferred customer card now so my minimum order is usually $40. I was sick to death of the $25 orders so I made $40 a minimum to be a preferred customer.

My May Kitchen show average was $705 (nine shows).

I've tried to really focus on my host coaching and I think that has helped raise my average. If the host is not excited about her show, it just isn't going to be successful.

- I ask my hosts to look at their show as an opportunity to get together with their friends. (We're all so busy these days that time with friends is hard to make happen.) I think this reduces the "not another home sales party" reaction among their friends.
- I also stress the convenience of friends and family ordering on line. I send my hosts on-line ordering instructions that they can just cut, paste, and send.
- I really enjoy working with my hosts....for the most part . I'm fortunate in that many become friends...a great side benefit of being a PC consultant, I think.

Sandy: I wouldn't stress too much over your show average during your first couple months. Use this time to experiment and find what works for you and what you're comfortable with. This site is a god-send in terms of both information and support. Find the ideas that resonate with you and try them.

Becky how many are on "our" team and how many are active consistently? Just curious? Besides GinaM and myself who are cs members, I haven't the sligthest clue whose in our cluster?

You, Gina, and Susan (who's also coming to conference-yay!) are the most consistent with your businesses and have good shows every month. Everyone else is an "every-other-month" type of consultant, which is what they're wanting to do at this point. A few have gone inactive in the past few months. Another one who signed 12/31 has her first show ready to submit. Not sure what the hold up is because last week she was entering it into PP. I'm working on having some new team members join us!!

What are the benefits your customers get with the preferred customer card?

What are the benefits your customers get with the preferred customer card?

I am assuming you're asking me. Consistentsy and loyalty are the main results I want. The first order has to be a minimum of $40 and after that I let them know any order even a citrus peeler counts. After 10 or 12 can't remember the #of boxes they get 10% off their entire order. I stress they can order the entire catalog and they get 10% off. I also say it is a great benefit at Christmas. I do have a few customers that have ordered from me about 5 times and I've only been a conslt since November. I do a digital signature so I can track it.

My new consultant (signed in November) has had a $1000 show each month since December. She said her "trick" is host coaching... and the biggest thing she tells her hosts is to use the "three touch" system she uses with them. Basically, she will contact the host three times, so the host should contact each customer three times - initial call, follow-up invite and reminder call. Apparently it works!
