Direct Sale Success: Sharing My Questionnaire

[rbvernon]

I had my booth this weekend with 4 other Direct Salers. One of the Direct Salers gave me your Questionnaire and I edited it to PC info. I will be using it for this Saturdays booth (hopefully it works as good as it worked for the other DS!). I wanted to post it, so if you are looking for one, here you go.

Thanks for posting this. I was debating about whether to use something like this or the ones from PC on Friday. I think I will print these on colored paper that I have here to make it stand out.

That is what the other DS did; on pink paper. It looked good. People where wanting to fill out the form. Good luck, let me know how it works out for you. I will keep everyone posted on how it works for me on Saturday!

Good idea and good luck!

I am running myself into the ground with booths this month. What I have found is people don't want to read a lot, and most won't take the time to answer that many questions. I can't even get them to fill out the name and address part all the way!

I have been using the door prize slips so far. Have tried other ones, but still, people want to put a sticker on it and drop it in the bowl. Doesn't matter what the drawing is, they just want to enter and get something for free.

It is for that reason that I stopped doing a drawing at my booths!! I walk away with fewer slips, but that is okay. I have qualified them on the spot and I have a manageable number of leads to follow back up with. I don't just want the prize seekers. I want the people who have interest. True interest. When they request a catalog or my card I ask them for their information so that I can provide the best customer service I can for them.

That is what I do as well, Chef Kearns. I learend that lesson at the first Bridal Expo I did- I was frustrated trying to contact everyone who really did not want the services I provided. Now, I only have qualified leads, and I have much better success.

I think it's too long and kind of repetitive.

I also do what Chef Kearns does.
