Sorry its been along time since I've posted I've been really busy band miss you all. I was just checking Ebay for "fun" and I saw that someone was selling their TPC ring. WHAT THE HECK!!!!
I might be late and you all have seen it but it just ticks me off. I'm want to earn it not buy it. It...
We lost our baby this morning at 6:AM:( Unfortunately I now know the pain of miscarriage. I always felt bad for women who had them but could never fully understand the immense pain until now. It happened fast and was pretty much over by the time I got to the hospital. I received very good care...
My July sales were non-existent. I had two live shows.. one turned into a book show that never turned in and the live show host "rescheduled" but did not set a date.
I had two live shows and a book show in August ... BOTH live shows rescheduled (but again have not set dates) and the book...
Kind of in a slump today. I have a friend, who when I first started PC, threw my first party to help me qualify. She was great and did receive about 400.00 in orders and threw the party at her home. The problem is that she decides last month to join Tastefully Simple. She wants to partner...
Ok I just have to get it off my chest. Yesterday was my birthday, my boyfriend of 5 years never gets me anything. He took me and my DD's to dinner but that's it. I got a card that he bought last minute. Every year I drop hints, this year was WII fit and to top it off he knows how much I'm...
Okay, I had a host call me this morning and ask me if I had deposited her check she had wrote yet. I had actually taken it to her bank along with another check I had and cashed it. Well, now she's apparently in the negative. I feel so bad like it was my fault for cashing her check instead of...
I just cannot get into it this year. I saw KaseyDee's thread and how excited she is, and I just can't get there. This is my fourth conference. My director doesn't go anymore, and I have one recruit that's going (three others are just hobbiests and one's in the hospital as I type having a baby)...
So a few weeks ago, my NED sent out an e-mail asking us (her first line directors) who we would like to recommend sit in her box during the general sessions. I have 2 consultants going and both have been struggling this year and haven't really, quite honestly, achieved much in the big picture...
Well, my Open House ended and it was a flop. I have maybe 2 orders (someone needs to get back with us) and it totals about $30. I have been in the biz for almost 4 years and I'm going to deactivate for the first time ever. I don't have a list of people to lean on - I've contacted everyone...
NOT my 15 yo just to clear the air.
It's kind of a long story and my post really has not much to do w/ the pregnancy, so bear with me.
A few days ago I heard from a friend that there is "rumor" going around that my 15 year old neice is pregnant.
Which sorry to say didn't really...
This month has been a real downer for me. I had 6 shows scheduled. I was sure I would get at least $1500 level in SAT. 3 shows cancelled and another one switched to a catalog show. So of the 2 cooking shows I had, 1 has sales of... hold your breath... $87!!!! Ok, fine, pull up my big girl...
I just got home from a show that went ok. Actually it went pretty good. Only thing is I didn't get any bookings!! I have only had two people book from a show in the past 6 shows. Which really stinks because I have only had six shows since December!!
Maybe this just isn't my gig. I would...
Sorry I feel like I'm complaining but I need to get this out! My director is hardly there for us any more and no one in my family understands so I figured I would just bounce things off some fellow consultants.
Since January I've felt so unmotivated. I've had crappy hosts who have put...
I thought I would try a leap year sale at work. I made the nutty brownies and the truffle brownie cups. I put two catalogs in each break room, along with some brownies, and a sale flyer. When I went back after lunch, no one even touched the brownies! Out of 5 plates in three locations, roughly...
That your host is going to cancel on ya? I'm sure we all have.
My host for March 22 is someone I work with and has "booked" a show with me since the day I started PC over a year ago! She always moves her date and is all wishy washy. Now her heart's set on the 22nd and I just can't get...
At my last show the host had over $100 in outside orders and 12 guests at the show, I did the three pile method, and no one wants to do a show:mad: What should I do? the show will be open for a few more days so I have a chance, but do I contact guests or ask the host who she thinks might want...
I need some tips and advice. I am feeling overwhelmed with my PC business and life. Here's what is on my plate and takes up my time:
I am kicking-up my business - which involves more time on the phone, computer, shows, office & paper work.....you know the routine
DS is in Kindergarten...
I had my first cooking show on Saturday night and my Grand Opening last night. Both went really well (even though I was nervous as heck!), I got bookings and decent sales on both shows. I have a catalog show going on right now, and another show booked for next Saturday. That show will qualify...
Had a show this afternoon, which I was really excited about, 'cause I thought I was done for the year, 'til someone called me a couple of weeks ago for a show before the new year.
Anyway, there were 5 guests there, which was fine and an awesome location to do the show.
I'm a little...
I had the first day of my first booth. I sold about $150. I got a lot of "ooo I have been looking for someone who did PC" or "I haven't seen PC in years." Needless to say the welcome was warm!
I feel like I sold well and drew the people in. I even have two leads for shows. I still can't...
I recruited a girl about 70 miles from where I live back in September. She was all ready and excited about doing PC. She had her 4 shows all ready in line and was ready to rock. Well, I don't know what has happened, but she has not done anything since she has signed. I have tried to call her...
Ok ladies, I need some help please. I am so not feeling creative today! I have just this afternoon secured a booth for Saturday morning. I really want to play up the simple additions and trifle bowl for bookings... problem being, I don't have a lot of simple additions.
Here's where the...
well, first I have a hostess that moved her show from tomorrow to next saturday and will most likely be getting oct special b/c the "cookware is too expensive" unless her friend that she booked from wants the cookware. I have another show tomorrow...she seriously doubts that she will have a...
I sort of feel lost today. My advance director called me and told me that as of last week my director stepped down. She told my advanced director she called everyone but she didn't call me. Right now I don't know what to think because for the last 6 months my director has been "cold' to me...
And Im really upset about it. This is going to be a long rant/pout/vent!! Please feel free to ignore!!
I signed as a consultant at the beginning of July. Had some good solid yes's for shows (or so I thought!) Ended up only having one show in July (my own!) Have had one show in Aug and am...
I was just looking at my calendar for September and saw that I have two catalog shows, five cooking shows and three more folks that have requested a catalog and looking to book a show. My Open House is this Sunday, so I'm not sure if folks will be booking then too. So much for any relaxing...
No calls for me today. I sound like I am in a bucket. I don't know if it is my allergies or I have caught a cold. My head is swimming and I don't think I can make any today. :(
May be PMSing for all I know. I was so gung ho when I got home from confrence and had all these grand plans for getting organized etc. Now I am just as stuck as before and still not feeling organized enough. Feeling a little overwhelmed with the number of shows this month.
Bummed because...
