What is work: Definition and 200 Discussions

Since I scrolled down to see where I shoud put this and didn't see a "B!TCH" category, I guess it's going here bc I don't even know what to say about all this. This is the SECOND time since Oct 15 that I have done a show for a home office lead and gotten NO SALES out of it. The first one had...

I read thread after thread of people offering prizes, doing games, etc. to boost bookings and sales. Things like the 12 Days of Christmas, Host Bingo, etc. How many of you do these as a regular part of your business? Do you feel they really work long-term? Which do you use that work?

A friend died of cancer almost two weeks ago, leaving behind his wonderful wife and 8 kids - 6 of whom are under 18 (the youngest is 5). Since Jeff had been battling cancer for at least a couple of years, I'm sure he and Cheryl made plans and provisions for her financial future, but they were...

Asking for prayers for a little boy named Max Nunn. If you have a Carepages account, you can log in and read his story, but here's the synopsis: In 2009, Max was diagnosed with a brain tumor. He underwent whatever horrors a child has to go through to get rid of the brain tumor, and it was...

I had heard it before but yesterday during a training I heard it again and figured I would try it. What was it?!?!?!?! I sometimes left a long rambling message when getting people's voice mail and they weren't calling back. So yesterday I started leaving the following message: "Hi this is X...

I did a show in August. It was a mess. I was the ruse for a surprise baby shower. Gee, thanks. I did get to do a quick demo, but got a whole TWO orders while I was there that amounted to about $30. My hostess did have outside orders, so we were at least at $150. Well, I called her a...

I have a customer who ordered the Family Size Pitcher.. and thinks it is WAY too big and wants the regular sized pitcher. How do I exchange something? Can she exchange it? Also, would she ship it back to PC? She was an outside order to a party I had and does not live near me.

I am a big fan of John Maxwell and I get posts from him on FB. I loved this one that was offered today and wanted to pass it along. It was actually written by a guy named Joe J Miller. You may not have the same belief as put forth here but it is worth a "think". :) Hope you enjoy...

I have a show in October for my husband's aunt. She told me yesterday that her daughter was going to help her do it.....so they will essentially have 2 guest lists....hers and her daughters to have more people there. I was going to ask them if they wanted me to make it a show with co-hosts...

I know it shouldn't bother me, but one of the girls at work just hosted a PC through her mom, a new consultant & it was a $1000+ show where practically everyone we work with worked $60+ yet they've never ordered from me before. I'm pretty sure she even used one of my books I had laying in our...

I have always been "too busy" for host coaching because I also work at a full-time job. However, I coached a host and stayed in touch with her via email for 2-3 weeks before her party. She had a $1200 party!!!! I have been doing this since May and my highest was $811---I am soooooo...

Ok...This is more for my kids than anything but I can't seem to find the answer so I am asking the experts...lol If you privacy setting on Facebook are "friends only" how does that work if your "friends" have "friends" that you don't? My thinking is that your status, pictures, videos, etc...

Hello! So I am hosting my first party on August 7. Very excited! I have also decided to become a consultant, as I've got friends at work (who are coming to my party) who already want to host FOR me! Thing is - I work a full time 40+ hour 8 - 5 monday - friday job that I absolutely LOVE...so...

So I was incredibly peeved today when I had to do a vendor show...set up my table and promptly had a PC woman tell me she was about to set up, but felt bad because I was already there. The woman organizing the vendor show had told me I was going to be the only PC consultant there so imagine my...

Does anyone use a netbook for P3? Our desktop crashed so we are now using my laptop as our main computer. I was thinking a netbook would be perfect for my shows because of its small size.

The full color newsletter, that is!!! Last night I sent out mass e-mails for my contacts. Contacts I made from the business expo, contacts of friends that have their e-mails listed on facebook that I know have expressed interest in possibly hosting a party, or have been at other parties I have...

I would love to sell more of the DCB but most people I know have microwaves that are too small :( What are some recipes you use for the DCB in the oven? Do you think it sells as well if you don't use a microwave? Do you do the same as the microwave recipes?

Just wondering if anyone knows of any directors and above who work FT (outside of PC) and if you have any contact info for them (website works well) I'd great appreciate it! If you no contact info, I do well as a detective to 'find them'. :D I'm looking to touch base with those who work FT &...

I had a girl at a show last night and in the full-service checkout when I asked her if she'd be interested in the business she said no. Then she said that she's from Canada (Toronto, actually!) and is here in the US on a work visa and only allowed to have one employer or she may get booted from...

Sorry, I just had to throw this out somewhere! I brought some of my stuff to my parents house yesterday for the SuperBowl and my Dad of all people asked if he could bring some catalogs and order forms to his work (keep in mind that he has been with the same company for 35 years and knows a ton...

Hi there, I am heading back to the work world next week. It will be the first time since my daughter was born, almost 6 years ago. It's an amazing job opportunity that will greatly bless my family, but I'm still mourning the loss of being a sahm. Has anyone been in this situation? I'm sure...

I posted this in another forum but I'm hoping for more feedback if I repost it here - so sorry if you saw this somewhere else. I'm thinking about hosting my own mini show at work. No demo but bring in 2 nice valentine's day desserts to show people. I have a set of prep bowls - put v-day...

I'm off to a very slow start this year. I only had one show and a yes with no date. The one rescheduled (no date yet) and the other hasn't returned my calls yet so no date and I have a blank calendar right now. I'm thinking about hosting my own mini show at work. No demo but bring in 2 nice...

I'm taking a recipe to work tomorrow for a catalog show some ladies are doing for me. I want to use the DCB and can't decide what a quick and easy recipe would be. I was thinking the 15 min chicken fajitas. I don't want to have to take a lot of stuff with me and was hoping to put it together...

So my host for this Thursday who's also a past host for me and a past PC consultant emailed me this morning to tell me that her show is going to be a PC show/Christmas potluck party and she has everyone bringing a PC recipe plus a gift for 'steal a gift'. She was reminding and inviting me...

Argghhh!! I just need to get this off my chest, and can't post on FB, because I have some co-workers as 'friends.' There is a monthly project which should only take 10 - 15 minutes and which can be done by either myself (accounts receivable) or the Accounts Payable Manager. Somehow, it ALWAYS...

Well I lost my job on Friday. I am pretty much the sole provider for my family, my husband works very little part-time while he's in school full-time. I have only being doing PC for about 3 months, haven't even reached my 90-day mark yet. I was only doing it really for the fun of it and the...
