So Janice, when are you going shopping for a new bathing suit for the trip??? :)

Had a small vendor fair last night - booked 2 shows and had $200 in sales!! I need to book 6 more shows. I have 2 people who want to book but said call me Monday - one might be for January but I'm going to try to get her into December. I have about 150 contacts to make who have all been from trade shows - they're all cold leads so I don't think my odds are going to be good but I'm going to call them all! I've been working through the list this week.

I keep telling myself that "I'll start getting on the treadmill TOMORROW morning", and never do....guess I'll have to change that, huh?

The pic is from Hawaii a few years ago. UGH!

Oh, Diamond Head! I miss Hawaii. Maybe it will be next year's trip!

Here's a little bit of an update, but not much:


Becky
Goal: Paris (level 3) - 74,000 points and 6 qualified recruits
Have: 60,713- 7 qualified -2 still to qualify (one probably won't )
Need: 13,287- 0 to qualify

I'm not hearing back from my very warm recruit lead.:( I've sent a couple emails and messages and I'll hold off for now so I don't seem like a stalker. Bummer!!!

But, on a good note, I've booked a couple more shows and a couple days ago I planted a little seed in my mom's head about hosting another show (she's hosted probably 4 or so). Today she said she'll do one in December! Woo hoo!!! She was my highest show ever ($2800!) and I could use another one of those, that's for sure. I'm excited that without much begging from me, she decided to host a show!:) I still need some more or some more recruits to make Paris!!!

ETA: Oh and I almost forgot! I just booked an online/catalog show fundraiser that has a national group with people in various states. This could be a dud and maybe not that big, BUT I'm choosing to think it can be HUGE!! I hope word spreads like wildfire and people order for the holidays like crazy. It's for a group trying to raise money for the CUTEST little 5 year old girl who has brain cancer because her medical expenses are already outrageous. I'm donating my commission and just crossing my fingers that this will be HUGE to raise some good money. So who knows, this could also make or break Paris!

Becky - once a few more of my girls qualify, we'll be in the *exact* same position. I have 10 shows booked. I want to book 10 more that way any recruits are icing on the cake. There's one girl that *might* qualify but I'm trying hard not to think about her because there's also a chance she won't.
 
  • #209
This is only OCTOBER....come on -- we have over 2 months to go! We can all do it!!!

<<<<Booster shot!>>>>>>
 
  • #210
I just booked another show!!! For next weekend!!! I now have 11 booked for Nov / Dec. 9 more to go!!
Oh and I'm doing a trade show / vendor fair thing on the 13th that should go well!
 
  • #211
I am at 40K points. I NEED 52K! I am so close (yet so far away)!

It will take a miracle for me to get it from where I am now. I NEED more shows on my calendar!
 
  • #212
New Update:

I have a consultant who only needs a $22 order to qualify, so I am adding her into my stats....

Mexico, Level 3 with extra TPC day:

73,296 points, recruits are fulfilled:

704 points to go.

7 November Shows, 2 December Shows and 2 Holiday Booths.

I am 4854 away from Miami!
I've already got my qualified recruits, just need to make sure the sales are there. I'm kind of suspicious about posting - afraid it will make my Nov go down the toilet :pray:

I'm ready for my mojitos on Miami Beach!

I am at 42,100 now. I NEED $9,900 in sales by December 31st! I NEED MORE SHOWS! Either that or I need a whole bunch of $1K shows!

I REALLY WANT TO EARN A TRIP!!!
 
  • #223
We are both at the same point Ellen! I'm going to Miami! Let's do it together.

How many shows do you have for November? December? Any unqualified recruits? Hot recruit leads? Let's work on it!

Click to expand...

I have no more recruits to qualify or hot leads. I have leads, but no one that seems to be ready this year.

I have 8 November shows IF they all hold (host for the 10th hasn't given me her guest list yet...)

I also have a fundraiser and a mystery host show (6 participants).

For December I only have 4 shows (one is not too sure she will do it).

Let's do it Kearns! I have LOTS of work to do though. ONE time I had an over $6K month (last November) but it's not a regular thing for me. I NEED to get some high sales shows and more bookings if I am going to make this goal!
 
  • #225
Before I take out my current November shows I need 7505 points. My goal is to have a $6k November. I have NEVER done that!! October was my highest ever at $47?? How can we break down the points you'll need?

If I can pull off the $6k this month then I'll only need 1500 from Dec. And with 6 parties I should get there. How about you?

LOL...I have NO idea. :D

The frustration that I am having now is that I want to host coach all my shows in November to be really high sales but am having a hard time getting my hosts on the phone!

I keep praying for a home office recruit...:pray: (It COULD happen right?)

I am at a loss for what more to do. I might run some sort of super sale after Thanksgiving? Or maybe send out an email explaining the situation? I don't want to come off sounding desparate though.
 
  • #227
I just booked another November show for 2 weeks from today. Yippeee!I'm inching closer and closer to Mexico!
 
  • #228
I just booked another November show too!!
 
  • #229
I booked one at my show on Sunday. Can I do the happy dance with you? I got a little nervous becuase one of my hosts for next week needed to reschedule, but she moved it to the end of the month. So I've offered her date to one of my show leads. We'll see if she goes for it. That'll be show 11 for me! I've NEVER done that!!

I sent out an email last month that worked really well. I booked a few shows from it. If you give me your email address I can send it to you. I also did a trade show and offered a free stone to anyone who booked before Christmas - I booked 2 shows.

I have 10 so far. The most shows I've ever done in a month is 9 and I had over $6000 in sales! I also have about 4 catalog shows going on right now and I submitted $350 in orders I received at the beginning of the month.

PLUS I just printed my stoneware customer list and I'll be calling all of them to host or place an order.

I'm so excited!!

Winnipegk, can you just post your email here? I would like to see it, too.

Thanks!!
 
  • #235
I tried posting it but you just don't get the same effect without the colors and such! The gifts I offered were all things I had on hand that were bigger ticket items - stones, knives - anything between $45 and $65. The higher priced ones were for those that booked in close.
 
  • #237
I posted it! That's all I wrote. :)
 
  • #238
No, I meant I wanted to see the pictures and the pretty graphics too.
 
  • #239
oohhhhh ok I'll forward it. It's not a huge deal, just pretty fonts and such. :D
 
  • #241
Sent! I hope you're not too disappointed! It's nothing special. Although I am going to delete it from here...for some reason I feel weird about having it posted.

  • #245
Update!!

I have 57,884
I have all the recruits I need for Mexico
Need 16116
Have 1 more recruit qualifying this week 14116
I have 3 shows not yet closed for November and 9 cooking and now thanks to Morfia 7 catalog shows :)
Now I will go Host coach for 9 $1000 shows so I can stop worrying :)
I AM GOING TO MEXICO!!!
 
  • #249
Done!

So I booked another show last night and someone emailed me this morning that she wants to have a show before the end of the year. I want to book 5 more but with the ones I have booked, I'm fairly confident in my ability to earn this trip. I just have to get my consultants qualified.

We find out our 2010 trip on January 3 - we get our director packages at the end of december.
