Trip Points

[annew]

Ok so I'm slacking a bit these past few months & I think I need to kick it into high gear so that I can earn level 2.......
I'm about 17,000 points away. so here's my plan
I've got a fundraiser for my son's school 260 kids so let cross fingers :D
I've planned a multi-vendor blendor open house.....
I'm working on filling my schedule w/shows right now for November I have 5 cooking shows but I need like 5 more.........

December- I've only got 1 :bugeye:

so any ideas other than I need to recruit/qualify 5 new people??????

I totally am to blame b/c my life has gotten in the way the past few months....but I work full-time, do PC, cater on the side--- I've been really busy the past month or so.....I'm also a soccer mom/coach......& I'm involved in a few clubs.

So I guess I like working under pressure!! LOL

Anne,
I pulled off 15,490 from Oct-Dec last year to earn San Fran. ( that was with a recruit).
If your fundraiser goes well, you could have most of that in the bag. But of course with fundraisers, who knows.
What I did last year was look at how many shows I needed instead of sales. So figure your show average and then how many shows at that average it would take to get there. It is still possible, so pick up your chin and think positive.:angel:

Have your tried the mystery hostess catalog party? I can usually collect between $700-$1200 that way.

A few years ago I was $8400 away from TPC and had 3 weeks to pull it off. I spent my afternoons calling every customer I'd ever had and telling them of my goal - I ended up making it by $400. Pull out all the stops - call everyone, email everyone - tell them of your goal...promise to send them a postcard from the trip!

[chefkugler]

That is so true. When I was pushing to get the trip last year. I had people help that I never thought. I mean REALLY never thought. I had a few who said I better get a postcard. People ae more helpful when they know you are working hard at a goal.
I had a few this year say are you going to make your trip this year?

It seems that the people I know are just the opposite. They only order if THEY want it. LOL

Do you offer them something for helping you?

Well in Nov/Dec I had the 12 days of Christmas. But, other than that, I just asked if they would help me earn my trip, which was my goal for the year. I think only one person flat out said, NO I can't. All the others had shows or catalog shows. I did a mailing to parents I sort of knew through my kids schools. The ones you see once in awhile and don't get to talk to that often.

When I was in crunch time, I offered everyone a free SBRC with their order...that's it -- and they ordered - LOL
