[abaker1]

That's awesome!!! Congrats!!

 

[chefsteph07]

Wonderful!
How did you go about getting the recruit leads?

 

[khergatt]

I just told them that I was really excited about what PC was offering in the near future and asked if they had a few minutes to chat!

ChefSteph - My March and one of my February shows are in Elyria! They are friends from high school and a friend from the church I used to go to when I lived there.

The recruit leads I just started talking and asking questions and it just happened!

I need to work on that phone thing...I have such a hard time starting a conversation! I'm wonderful with email and mailings but phone calls...I need help/tips!

Kristy, that is amazing news! Way to go! I bet you are on such a high after accomplishing so much in one night. What a great boost to your business, too!

Great job Kristy!
Woooo-hoooo you faced your fear and are still alive!! And look at what you accomplished! You should feel very proud of yourself!

Sometimes it is hard for me to pick up the phone, but now I just remind myself (and my family) that I am DIALING FOR DISNEY!!

 

[pamperedpals]

That is awesome Kristy!

I just talked to my DH last night about scheduling time that he and the kids might leave the house or play on the XBox, so I can make calls. I need to get those show's booked, especially since I told my three kids Mom was taking them to Disney World next year.

I have the tracking chart on my closet door in my bedroom, which is where my "office" is. The boys are constantly asking when we are going. I CAN NOT and WILL NOT let my children down!

I hope to be able to post some great result like you come Sunday night. My goal is to book February and March by the end of the weekend. I would like to throw in some recruit leads/interviews also.

Kristy - How many calls did you make in that one night? I'll start my calls then only get through about two or three on my list before I have to stop to take care of my family. I want to get more consistent with my calls.

Goals for 2009:
1. Disney Level 3
2. $15000 in career sales by May
3. 6 shows a month consistently

I need to do this as well, it never fails that I finally sit down to make calls and then the kids start coming in to ask questions. I also promised Disney and WILL NOT let them down...... I need to get February booked!

I guess I have a fear of the phone as well -- at least I always come up with a zillion excuses why I can't do it "right now". You are certainly encouraging.

 

[straitfan]

Gosh I've GOT to do this. It's been on my mind to do every evening this week, but I always find something ELSE to do.
I think I can....I think I can......I think I can..........! Great Job Kristy--you've got me motivated now.

I am an empty nester, so I can not use the kids as an excuse. I suggest though, that you let your kids know, that in order to get to Disney, you need to make calls, and you can not do that when they interrupt you.

I have tried that, however, they don't seem to grasp the concept (they are 4 and 3). Part of the issue, is I am home by myself at night with the kids, because DH works until 8:00 pm and doesn't get to after 9:00 pm.

I think I am going to have them watch a Disney movie with their Mickey Mouse ear hats (that the PC fairy left them) while I am making calls and see if that helps.

Congratulations, Kristy!

My son told my DH today that he wants to go back to Disney (we were there in December- our first trip). But then he said "This time, let MOMMY pay for it. We have to help her with her Pampered Chef!". *uggh!* Guilt trip! I have SUCH A HARD time with the phone too. But I have two little boys counting on me to get it done.

(my other thread about this....got some great advice if you want to read them. Going to try to do some things this weekend.)

Way to go! Congrats.

That is so awesome for you! The phone is one of my biggest challenges as well-but it sounds like you are doing a great job of overcoming that.
