I am supposed to have a show thsi weekend... and I dont' even have her guest list yet.... UHG!!!

Does that mean you haven't sent out the invites? Uh oh. I just booked an August brunch show. I'm bummed right now, though, because I really wanted some shows in my own area. My two August shows are over an hour away.
I know...keep calling. (that was in my whiny voice)

Maybe you can help her make calls and invite everyone over the phone?

That is one of the things that I am going to suggest to her.....

 

[raebates]

Made my calls. Got another August show! Talked to a few people interested in later in the year. Left lots of messages, too.

 

[JAE]

Ellen, I can't wait to hear how your show turns out!

I made one more contact tonight and left one message. I have so many people interested in a September show, but nothing is confirmed. I will have to start calling them back in a couple weeks to get some confirmations. More calls tomorrow. I have a long list, but most of these people are totally "out of the blue". Those are a little harder for me. I'll do it anyway.

 

[Bren706]

Today was not a 3-2-1 day for me, AGAIN! I did contact a catalog host to find out the status of the orders, and also contacted one of those guests about payment arrangement(and interest in booking a show, which was a NO!) I tried reaching (and only got an answering machine) what should be my 2nd show for July host (29th). I have yet to reach her to talk about her show which is in 6 days. It seems like she is going to back out on me for a second time! UUGGHH!!!!!!

Tomorrow is a new day, and I am really shooting for those 3 contacts!

 

[GourmetGirl]

Today I got a a date for another August show and a maybe, check in a week for a Sept show. My co-worker, who I wanted to set her Aug date, was sick today. and my cousin who does not use email or voicemail or caller id and I have been trying at random times of the day for like a week now and still can't get a hold of her! Augh! Plus I treated myself and went and had another consultant who is an awesome hair stylist cut and style my hair for me tonight! I feel so pampered right now!

Those are the worst! I get butterflies just thinking about it!

I did my 3-2-1 today!!!
Collected a $120 order towards what I'm hoping will be my $1000 mystery host show.
Followed up with my host for tomorrows show (20 yes's now!!!)
Talked to a neighbor I rarely see and she wants to do a show! Haven't set a date yet but it's in the works!
Talked to a couple of others today with no success though!
At least I'm making those calls! Still only have two booked for August though!

hehe your too funny!!! This fair wore me out though I am so beat!!! and to think I have a week long one coming up in two weeks!!!

 

[JAE]

Finished my 3 contacts for the day, but I think I'll call a few more people. It's raining and cloudy, so people are home. One was a maybe for August, one a probably for September, and one has a consultant already. The one with a consultant said she'd pass my name around, though. Okay!

 

[Kathytnt]

Jae - for the Dave Ramsey lady - That is when you bring up making some extra income to working on the savings and investing

 

[JAE]

Thanks Kathy,
I haven't gotten back to her, yet. I've asked her many times in my PC career to come to shows and to have shows. She is a major procrastinator and I don't want to bother her too often. I'll talk to her later about other things and bring up having a show and selling PC. I'll keep you posted. Can't wait until my recruiting meeting tomorrow!

 

[raebates]

Made my contacts today, and got 2 September shows scheduled!

 

[DebbieJ]

Jae - for the Dave Ramsey lady - That is when you bring up making some extra income to working on the savings and investing

Yes, Dave Ramsey recommends taking PT jobs to build the emergency fund and pay down the debt quickly, so PC would be perfect for anyone following his plan!

Good luck!

 

[DebbieJ]

I've made more than 3 contacts today. Was doing OOTB calls and talked to some wonderful folks. Got one recruit lead and two booking leads.

I've been on the phone so much today that my cordless is now out of juice.

Lyn Conway has a chart on her website www.getafreshperspective.com under "free stuff." It's a 21 day prospecting success challenge chart. She recommends 5 contacts a day. You can print her chart and use it to help you with your new success habit!

 

[JAE]

I always think in my head that I should make five contacts a day. BUT, when I finally get my three it seems I've had it with answering machines/voice mail or kids answering and saying "she isn't available right now." I'm going to try for five at least once a week and when that becomes a habit I'll add a day. Maybe, I can then just do the five every day. Once I get more shows on my calendar, it will be easier becaue I can "contact" while I'm at the show. And, I'll have more customers to call. I'm still doing "out of the blue" calls, daily.

 

[GourmetGirl]

I had not such a great day... I did date an August show while at work though (and by the time we left work she had started on her wish list, booked a show from her show from another coworker who just started last week, and came up with a good 20 names for her invited!). I called my cousin who wanted a beg. August show and I haven't been able to get a hold of her still (she NEEDS to move into the 21st century with either voicemail or email!!!) and I called a host to close out her show and got a vm earlier. I have been really run down, so I think I am off to bed and will try to get up a bit early to take care of everything that I need to do and make some calls when I get home tomorrow... night all!

 

[sfdavis918]

I did good today. I finally think I have Pampered Partner set up so that I can feel confident keeping notes about calls in it. I called two August hosts and they were both excited about there shows. (Finally! My last two in July were duds and ended up canceling.) Then I was pumped and made my three contacts. No shows booked but one is going to refer me to her coworker who loves(!) PC.

 

[mommyhugz1978]

Okay so I emailed three people today- I booked another show in August That's 3 and guess what their all in the same week!!!! Tomorrow I will be calling two of the three plus everyone else in my list that I need to call!!!! I want this so bad I can taste it... anyone else have that same go to it attitude???

I just got back from my show where there were over 20 people. Can you believe it....the sales are only $267!!! The last show she did for me was over $800! She is very determined to get the sales up before closing though. The good news is that from that show, I booked (in my book) a September show, an October show, a "possible" September wedding shower, and a recruit lead! I was hoping for something in August ( I only have 2 so far!) but I'll sure take what I got! I'm counting this show as my 3-2-1 for today!

Did everyone place an order??? that is frustrating...... but very good on bookings and the recruit lead!!!!

Only about 6 people placed orders! Hopefully she'll get some more!

UGH!!!!! Talk about frustrating........ were they at least paying attention to the demo??? Or were they busy gabbing?

They were really gabby at first but listened for the most part. It kinda went back and forth a bit. It could have been worse with that many people.

 

[etteluap70PC]

well... I've been doing calls but not as many as I should. Gotta get better about that. I did give out 2 catalogs yesterday and got contact info for 1 (nurse at Dr. office while doing DD's check up) The other was a lady at walmart. I ran into har and her DD 3 times and they seemed really nice. She said "ohhhh I love Pampered Chef" I pointed out my info if she needed anything. She was verry gracious. I told her I had given myself a goal of giving away 3 catalogs that day and she was verry excited and said "good for you" Made me feel good!

Oh also left a stack of catalogs in the waiting room of Dr's office.


Rae..... what are you saying durring your calls? Seems like you are having LOTS of success?

 

[Bren706]

I dialed about 6-7 numbers yesterday; got 1 live person who was not interested at all. The rest were all answering machines. I get so frustrated when all I get are answering machines, and then I give up.

I tried reaching my hostess for this Sunday's show. I have yet to reach her to do any host coaching. Sounds like there is not going to be a show. This would have been show #2 for July. UUGGHH!!!!

 

[Christ Follower]

Bump! Anyone else make calls today?

 

[mommyhugz1978]

I haven't made any calls yet.... But then again I am stil at work..... I will do it for sure tonight......I am working on another person for a show at the place where I get my smoothies at in the mornings...but she wants to book a september show..... I want to fill my calender packed in Aug and Sept!!! Is this possible??

 

[chef_kimmo]

Can I join you all? I need to have some accountability and if I am reporting what I am doing then I am sure I will make more happen.

Of course you can join us!!!

 

[chef_kimmo]

YAY! I will report in tomorrow about my calls tonight.

 

[mommyhugz1978]

YAY! I will report in tomorrow about my calls tonight.

Cool deal!!

 

[JAE]

I have not made any calls, yet, today. BUT, I met two friends to socialize this morning and they both really want to do a September show to get cookware. I have a booking lead from a catalog show that I will be calling at some point today. I will get on the phone because I don't want to!

 

[JAE]

Didn't someone have a meeting, today, with a potential recruit? I thought it was BeckyD, but I was wrong. Anyone? I remember because I met with someone today, too. She is planning to have a show to check out the process. She has never been to a show. It's funny because her mom suggested if she is going to sell something that she should sell something she won't spend all her earnings on! Her mom told her not to sell jewelry or purses. She's bringing me the 40 names and addresses tomorrow night for an August show. If nothing else, at least I'll have a great show!

 

[mommyhugz1978]

good job on both accounts though!!

 

[JAE]

How is everyone else doing today?

 

[mommyhugz1978]

How is everyone else doing today?

I am working on a lady at the coffee shop where I buy my smoothies at for a Septemeber show...... But I booked a show last night so I have three in August...But I haven't had a chance to make calls today yet..... I will when I get home in about an hour or so.

That was Supossed to be me! She had to postpone the meeting because her husband had taken the day off to run errands with her. She has a job interview on the 29th so sometime after that she'll call me with a date that she can meet me. I don't think she was wanting to start until October, but I'm hoping she'll start before that. Haven't gotten through to many today yet. I'm trying to tie up 3 shows that haven't closed yet!

 

[ChefBeckyD]

I spent time on the phone today talking with hosts...I have 4 open shows I am trying to close......2 more shows to go this month. I was talking to the daughter of my 88 yr old host (she called to ask me a question) and ended up booking another show with her!

I also got another booking today from an outside order from my show last Saturday.

I talked to another customer who called to place an outside order from my Monday night show......she was the winner of my Mystery Host Show in March....she has ordered from me for years, but will not host.....I tried again today - It's at a point where I tease her about it every time she orders - she just laughs and says "maybe someday Becky".......

So - Today, I got 2 more bookings and an order - but my dilemma is that they all called me! I feel like I have been on the phone a TON today - but other than calling hosts, all the calls have been to me - do those count if they result in bookings/sales?
