WOW!

Just got off the phone w/ a realtor I know - he has never purchased from me, but the consultant he used is no longer w/ PC......he wanted a link to my website, because he purchases Grilling Kits for his clients when they close on their home!!!!

This is one of the most successful realtors in this area - even in this really crappy economy, he and his wife (they are a team) continue to do really well w/ their business!

I am pumped!:D
 
wooo hoooo! Was it a out of the blue call? That is awesome!!
 
I need to send a letter out to the realtors in this area. My SIL used to put together albums for some reltors. She made $$$!

Totally out of the blue!

I got home from running errands - and there was a message saying "hey Becky, are you still a Pampered Chef Lady......"

I gave him a call back - and Ta Da!:D
 
Awesome for you Becky! If only my parents (who are very successful in the realestate biz, would buy PC products for their closing gifts) :(! Good for you!
 
I never even thought of this! Awesome for you!!!
 
Anybody have a letter made up to send out to potentials?
 
i would love to see a letter! please help us!
 
There are a ton of files in the files section...just do a search with the word "realtor". :)
 
Vista Tri-foldI made up a trifold brochure on one of vista printing freebie times. I took working from info I found on here and just made it my own. Included a recipe and some gift giving ideas. It came out pretty good. I would attach but I don't know how to attach something that is not saved on my computer. It is saved at vista.
 
Awesome Becky!
I almost hate to approach the realtors here, because several of them buy gift certificates from my parents' restaurant...hate to take that away from them!
 
That's so terrific Becky!
 
Great news! Hope you get lots of sales from him!
 
I just did a show for a realtor but wasn't sure how to approach it. Guess I need to learn to just say what is on my mind! I still plan on sending her a flier. I have been working on changing one up a bit. Congratulations on your success Becky!
