What is lead: Definition and 153 Discussions

I got my "call" on Tuesday the 3rd and I've just received my first Lead!! I'm confirmed it with HO that I'm taking it and I've called and left a message for her. I think she pretty much checked off the options it gave her but heck, I'll take any of them!!!! I'll let you know how it turns...

I was just reading the thread about the door prize slips and the lead books and wondered, do you make a page for your book for every customer you come in contact with? I can see where it would get to be a lot of pages, but also I want to keep track of who I call.

I finally ordered myself a Catalog Sholder Tote a couple weeks ago. I had it with me today while I was in Lane Bryant. The gal checking me out said "Oh, do you sell Pampered Chef?" She then asked me if I could get her a lid for her lg. Micro Cooker, and then I gave her a Mini catalog. She...

I just had to share my excitement! I called a lady from the show I did this past weekend, and she is seriously thinking about joining PC. She said she contacted HO a few months ago about it and they gave her some director why down south GA and never had anyone else contact her. Her and her...

I just got my first lead for the Well Stocked Kitchen Sweepstakes. I am actually kind of disappointed. I did a bridal show in Mid April and told every bride they needed to go in and register for the sweepstakes by the end of the week to get into the first drawing. I guess if they entered they...

I got a HOT recruit lead at my garage sale. She is from out of state, and was in town visiting, She LOVES PC, and can not find a consultant, so I told her, jokingly, just become a consultant then !! She was so much fun, and we talked about 20 minutes. She arrives home today, and I am supposed...

I was at Target today (spending way too much money :) ) and another mom spotted my tote and asked if I was a consultant. I said yes and she said she's a SAHM and was thinking about something like PC so she could make some extra money. So we chatted a little--she sounds VERY interetested. I...

I have done two bridal shows - I have several people that gave me their names at my booth but there are bridal leads from the show I obviously would not add them to my newsletter list without permission but do you think it would be o.k. to send out an e-mail regarding the registry and the...

I have been talking to my friend since Dec about joining Pampered Chef! Well today I called her and was talking to her about her job. she said she couldn't do a steady job b/c its the same all of the time. so i was like well you could also sign up to sell pc just joking around and it turned...

Has anyone tried this? It was mentioned at a cluster meeting and I am thinking about trying it. Go to the Dollar Store and spend $5 (Gift bag, plates, asst plasticware, cups, napkins). Put the items in the gift bag and add in your host packet. Call it a "party bag". Anyone that books a...

I have a PC signature on my work email address b/c I (of course) use it for personal too when I am here. I normally take it off for a business email and put our office signature in, but forgot on this one email to a mortgage company. The girl just emailed me and told me cool website and she was...

I have a couple of recruit leads - On the slips I didn't request address info in order to follow up. Just phone and name etc. I feel like some peole get tired of filling out forms. Would it seem like stalking if I did a people search and send something in the mail? I have had trouble...

LOL, well I was driving through the Wendy's drive thru tonight the lady at the drive through saw my business debit card and asked about pc. I booked a show(she also works with Blue cross blue shield) and may be a potential recruit. I booked a show in the last place I thought I'd ever get one...

Do you need more shows? Are you looking for recruits? Could you use more wedding showers or more people to use the wedding registry? How about those fair slips and booth slips? Maybe need to keep information about a fundraising opportunity? Want to make more money and increase your...

Hey Guys! I'm so excited because my newest lead just signed!!! I'm so excited for her and what it can do for her family!!!! She is a great girl and i know she'll go far with it because she really likes PC. :D Just had to share my excitement because I should be a DIRECTOR VERY soon!!!!!

Well, the fedex truck just pulled up and I greeted her at the door. As she's handing me the envelope, she asks if I "do" Pampered Chef. I nod and ask if she'd like to see the new product brochure (OK,OK but it is Feb 21 and my Feb is full. Giving away a secret, I know...) She asks if...

I am curous to know how many time people follow up or try to follow up with people I heard one advanced director say she tried to call and e-mail twice. If they don't have the courtesy to return her message she throws the lead slip in the trash. Other schools of thought are call until they...

I was looking at stuff on eBay and saw someone selling the plastic stoneware lids for far more than the special this month (£2.50). So I emailed the high bidder on both, here is the exchange: Me to her: Her to me: Did I say the right thing?

I got her info at a tiny fair I did. She was heavily pregnant and just ticked she wanted more info on the opportunity. I thought she just did it to get more of a chance at the prize draw... but I called and made it clear that if she didn't want more info that was OK, however she was genuinely...

I saw in our local little paper that our local Relay for Life is starting to organize teams and their kick off meeting is Wednesday. So I called the local ACS office to let them know that PC offers fundraisers. The gal I talked to sounded very excited and invited me to come to the team...

WooHoo!! My daughter, Brandy was promoted to director as of Jan 1 and just received her first home office lead tonight. I am so excited!! So now I will need to contact this lady within 24 hours. She was intersted in information about purchasing PC Products, maybe I can talk her into booking a...

All of the shows in my area have a Pampered Chef vendor already signed up. Any ideas? I want to have a booth at a show - and I need leads/bookings.

I had two ladies check "maybe" on the door slips for learning more about PC. When I tried talking to the first one she was like 'I said MAYBE' and 'I wouldn't be interested right now'... and left my information behind. So I guess she's NOT interested? I still need to talk to the other one but...

Just had to put a TOOT TOOT out there...I was getting ready to sit down a call a gal I'd had a recruiting interview with last week. She had asked me to call her tonight (she had wanted to talk it over with her husband). I sat down at the computer to find a HO lead email (the 2nd one of the...

Woo-Hoo! Just signed my first HO lead! I had already signed another consultant earlier in the day, too....so that's 2 in one day! I have a total of 9 so far...my 1 year anniversary with the company is on Nove 18, although my first SS month was in Jan, 2006. Is that the way you're supposed...

Okay, I have my stack of contacts from the fair I did at the beginning of september. I have made 2 phone calls to all of them so far. But, I don't want to be a pest. I have 2 recruit leads that checked it on their DPDS and I would like to send them info and then follow up about 1 week later...

I just got my first wedding registry lead and I am not sure what to do next. I don't actually know the couple. It's a friend of a friend of a friend thing. Do I schedule a Pampered Bride shower for the couple as well as do a registry with them? I'm not even totally sure how to set up the...

Well - not exactly a lead, but I was in line at the grocery store, and my cell phone rang. It was a lady in town who got my name from the main website and needed help redeeming a gift certificate! I was glad that I knew what to do, cuz usually I need to be sitting in front of my laptop to...

I have a touchy situation and am looking for some advice. I got a Home Office Lead last week. I called her and she said she would like to book a show. She told me she recently went to a show and both she and her friends (including the hostess of that show) were totally "put off" by the...

And I dno't know what to show her! She's coming over at 11 on Monday, and has never heard of PC. I don't have the 'take a closer look' stuff.. what options do I have to convince her that this is an awesome alternative to being a waitress at Friendlys?
