Need Some Motivation or a Big Kick in the Butt..

In summary, the author had a great June and July, but had low sales at her local fair. She had 10 new contacts, but only three orders. She is looking forward to her next fair, where she is confident she will have more sales.

So I had a really amazing June and July wasn't too horrible..but I have like oh no shows booked for Aug. well I take that back..I have 2 catalog shows..anyway, I did the local fair today and sent out 75 postcards to my friends and customers to let them know that I was offering a 10% discount today if they shopped at the fair. I was there from 12-6 and only 1 person with a postcard stopped by and that was after I called her to tell her something else! So anyway, I had 3 orders..all under $10! My sales at the fair were $18!!! I can't even submit that..obviously! I had 13 contacts today..one was a kid, one was a woman who I think was a little mentally handicapped...and one was a girl who only wanted me to email her the recipe of the food I had made b/c she lived in another state! That leaves me with only 10 contacts after I spent the whole afternoon in a 95 degree buidling on my feet....I was really excited for this fair and now I feel like I've been incredibly let down..I don't even want to call these people tomorrow cuz I really just don't care right now..someone knock something into this girl right now PLEASE!?!
 
You know...any contact is a contact! Believe me right now my business is so slow I would take those 10 and run with it!
Sometimes to grow a business you have to have rough days before the bright days come! Just take this as one of the rough one, and know that a bright one is coming. Make those calls! One of those contacts my host a $1000 + show! You never know! Don't get down.....pick it up and run with it!!!!
 
Go Girl!! I would love to have 10 new people too!

1. How can I stay motivated while working for Pampered Chef?

Staying motivated while working for Pampered Chef can be challenging, but there are a few things you can do to keep yourself motivated. First, set specific and achievable goals for yourself. This will give you something to work towards and a sense of accomplishment when you achieve them. Additionally, surround yourself with positive and supportive people, and remind yourself of why you joined Pampered Chef in the first place. Lastly, take breaks when you need them and celebrate your successes along the way.

2. I feel like I'm in a rut and lacking motivation. What can I do to get back on track?

If you're feeling stuck and unmotivated, it's important to first identify the root cause. Are you feeling overwhelmed? Are you lacking direction? Once you identify the issue, you can take steps to address it. This may include breaking down tasks into smaller, more manageable chunks, seeking guidance from a mentor, or setting new goals for yourself. Remember to also take care of yourself and take breaks when needed.

3. How can I motivate my team to reach their sales goals?

Motivating your team to reach their sales goals starts with setting clear expectations and providing support and resources to help them achieve those goals. Celebrate their successes and offer incentives for reaching certain milestones. It's also important to communicate openly and regularly with your team, and to lead by example through your own hard work and dedication.

4. What are some strategies for staying motivated during slow sales periods?

Sales can be unpredictable, and it's normal to experience slow periods. During these times, it's important to stay positive and focus on what you can control. Use this time to connect with customers and build relationships, try out new marketing strategies, and set goals for yourself to improve your skills and knowledge. Remember that slow periods are temporary, and your hard work will pay off in the long run.

5. How do I stay motivated when facing rejection or setbacks?

Rejection and setbacks are a natural part of any job, and it's important to not let them discourage you. Instead, use them as learning opportunities. Reflect on what went wrong and how you can improve for next time. Seek support and advice from your team and mentors. Remind yourself of your past successes and the reasons why you joined Pampered Chef. And don't forget to practice self-care and take breaks when needed.
