My new recruit is getting a little nervous about her Grand Opening. She only has 2 people coming so far, and both are people who have booked parties with her to help her get started. She's concerned that she won't get any orders for this show to count. Any advice you think I should give her...

I have a 3 way phone interview in an hour! I always do them in person and don't really know what to do over the phone since this gal doesn't have any of the normal materials with her. Any suggestions?

Does anyone claim a deduction for any part of a home or cell phone that you use for business? I use my phone ALL the time. I am always doing booking blitz, host coaching, or down-line coaching. I am wondering if anyone else has claimed this deduction, if so how did you figure it? Thanks

Why is it such a dilemma!!! I don't even know what my fear is. I'm not even afraid of No. I know that I need to go for the NO! I also know the fear is irrational at best! I really want a solid February! I've know got 2 confirmed cooking shows. Well one I need to still follow up on but I'm not...

I'm not that happy with the way I'm organized right now, so I'm looking for some ideas and would love to hear how you all do it. What system do you use to keep track of your contacts? Do you take notes as you talk to them? Is it on paper or on a computer? How do you keep track of when you...

I know we've discussed a problem lately of getting telemarketing calls telling us about earning thousands of dollars a month "all legal" of course! I personally get voicemails- never a live person. It's always a different number- the message is usually the same, and sometimes they say they...

I have a question about your business phone #. I am a military spouse and have moved 3xs in the past 4 yrs and am getting ready to move once again. I keep my cell phone for my business but find it hard to get business everytime I move. For those of you who move do you change your phone # when...

I have a very sweet lady that I met at a 'tour of homes' Christmas booth. She said 'I love Pampered Chef and my lady doesn't sell it anymore am I ever happy that I found you here'. I gave her all of my info and some catalogs and she said she wanted to get a book show in before Christmas...

I just got a personal call from Mary at HO. She just called to congratulate me on 10 years with PC! That was so neat! Made my day! Congrats to all 10 year folks!

I'm getting about forty or fifty unwanted text messages to my cell phone :eek: and I believe it's from me having my number posted on my website. What should I do?? :confused: I don't want to hinder my business by removing it, but do I have any options? Have you had this happen to you before...

I just received an actual telephone call from Jean Williams with PC "Thanking me" for participating in the PC family. OMG! They're actually making real telephone calls?

which one do you prefer and what works for you? and why do you think it would help me better my chances in recruiting

Okay, so I have a lady doing a catalog show, and she gave me the name & # of someone who wants to book a Cooking Show for this summer. She gave me the # on Friday, and tonight was the first time I had to make calls, so I just called this lady. I introduced myself, and she said "Oh, I know...

Ouch... I'm just making phone calls to follow up with my mystery host email, which I sent out to quite a few people on my contact list. So I called a lady I had met at a craft fair last November, who is on my monthly newsletter list (but I just started regular newsletters in May). I asked her...

Any suggestions on calling people that are on your contact list that you haven't talked to or heard from in a few years??? I am determined to get some bookings on my June calendar! Just not very comfortable with contacting these people out of the blue. Any words of advice or encouragement are...

I have potential hosts who ask me to call them to schedule their party but consistently get an answering machine-even when I've asked if this is a good number and time to reach them at. What kind of message can I leave to let them know I am following up at their request to schedule a party? And...

Alright, I am not quite sure if this is the right place to post this, but I need some advice. As I keep saying, I'm new....three years from now I'll still be using it as an excuse to ask silly questions. :chef: I just took a call from a guest who was at my show on Sudnay. While at the...

Okay Tammy Stanley fans out there....I would love some ideas on some phone scripts to use. I need to get some bookings. I'm afraid of being the bad example from Tammy's e-zine where the consultant is too enthusiastic and scares away people. :eek: :D :blushing:I am planning on calling all...

Grr I'm soo bummed I was going to really hit the phone today and tomorrow to drum up some more shows for March but I'm down sick with a chest cold. I feel pretty good but I have absolutely NO VOICE. I can barely talk!

Does anyone have an old T-mobile phone in decent condition that they don't need? I unknowingly dropped my phone in a puddle and it sat there for 3 hours before I noticed it was missing. Now it doesn't work very well at all and it is the only phone line I have for customers to get ahold of me. My...

Hi I promoted in May 2010 and have just started doing my own monthly team meetings but they have to be by phone with a face to face gathering 3-4 times a year because my team is really geographically spread. Has anyone done team meetings like this? How did you keep the interest and make...

So around Christmastime, I started shopping for my next phone. Wasn't ready to change at that time, but decided I wanted a Samsung Alias 2 because while I seldom text, I liked the option of the full keyboard. Liked many other things about it too, including the weight and feel of it, and the fact...

I need help for some reason I still feel really rocky on the specifics of the Fundraiser stuff. I have a phone call coming in a couple hours to discuss a fundraiser and I'm nervous that I don't have all the answers. I understand the percentages but what about the Host benefits. So if the parents...

Hi, my name is Ann and I am a non calling director for some of my downline. I have made it my "goal" to start reaching out to my team more. This has been a goal for too many years that I have continually failed to take action on. (In other words, I wanted to win the lottery but never bought a...

I'm really working to step up my host coaching efforts but having so much trouble getting my hosts on the phone. Tips? Tricks? Thanks!

I am trying to be more motivated using the phone starting this week. :eek: Does anyone else who is less motivated want to get in on this and help keep us motivated we can post our results weekly. I am working on it half an hour 3 days a week. My goals of this is customer care calls, more...

Wow, coming back from having a baby is hard. Who knew a little one could take up so much time?? Anyway, I told DH that if he wanted to go to Hawaii, I needed some phone time. He begrudgingly agreed last night, although it was tough getting ds1 to bed and I could hear ds2 crying. Ugh...

Ok. A good portion of this country is either currently being hit, or about to be hit in the next 1-3 days with a lovely snowstorm. As long as we have power, anyone want to take advantage of it and make some phone calls with me this weekend??My cluster is doing a Booking Blitz that I'm...
