I wanted to share this with you because this is what i sent to my team....

What do you think?

Hey Guys! Sorry it’s late but I just got home from the hospital (I had a booth for nurse’s day today) and did really well BUT I wanted to get this out sooner.

Pampered Chef Home Office wanted directors to register their meeting with them so we can have a contest across the U.S. and I have to turn in our results. The whole thing is that they wanted us to make phone calls at the meeting for 30 minutes. Well after speaking to a couple of you, I’ve learned that some either don’t have a cell or have prepaid minutes. So, what I’ve come up with so our team can participate is take the time NOW through Monday to make calls at home.

Give yourself a solid 30 minutes and try to reach as many people as possible. Tally them on the scorecard that I’ve provided and even look at the call outline and Directors training sheet. Make sure you have already highlighted the days that you are available to work and cross out any holidays, vacations, birthdays for the ENTIRE SUMMER!! Also, Don’t FORGET that you want to book June up as much as possible because it is the Sell A Thon month where you can earn all the new fall products for FREE!!!

Ideas for calls are:
• Out of box calls (Call your customer and ask if they’ve taken their products out of the box and if they’re using them, That’s why they bought them, right? )
• Book May, June and July –tell them that you are part of a nationwide calling blitz and you’re trying to book as many shows as possible.
• ALL Recruit Leads-A Perfect time to recruit!! Double trip points-Just think, recruit 7 people in May and you’re half way to Miami for FREE!! I promise you, it can be done if you put your mind to it. 
• Calls about the outlet –I’m up to $353 in orders by sending out my newsletter and info about the outlet! It paid to sit there and send it! 
• Door Prize slips from shows/fairs
• List of 100
• People you keep telling yourself that you’re going to call when you have time….I bet you can think of one right now! 
• Call family and ask them to do a catalog show for you out of state.

The options are there you just need to think outside the box! You can also drum up biz when you’re in the grocery store line, hand them your business card, same thing when you tip the waiter/waitress.

PLEASE bring your results with you to the meeting on Tuesday May 13th at my house. I need to send the results in to the HO that night!
Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you! 

Kristi thanks so much! My gals are a little hesitant about making phone calls at the meetings, so I think this will be a great way for us to participate and everyone to feel comfortable! I really appreciate it!

I had my meeting this past Monday. I send out an email before the meeting to ask them all to bring their cell phone and contact list.

It was like pulling teeth to get them to make their phone calls! They said that they didn't have enough people to call for 30 minutes, so I pulled out all of my customer care calls that needed to be called. I handed them order forms and DPS slips told them to start calling. I gave them the words: Hi this is ______from Michelle's Pampered Chef office. I am doing some follow up calls for her to make sure you are happy with your products. What is your favorite product?

I also told them that they would keep any shows that they scheduled from my leads. They grumbled more about calling my leads so they got on the phone and started making their own calls. Several scheduled shows and had people to follow up with later.

After we were done they said that once they got on the phone it wasn't so bad, it was just making that initial phone call.

We did ours as a conference call last night. (I don't have cell service at home). I had everyone call in at 7pm... we did some training and some cheering and then at 7:30 we all hung up and made the calls. At 8pm, everyone called back in and reported their results. Our TEAM Meeting is next week so I'm going to have gifts for everyone who participated!!!!

Great Idea Colleen!! What # do you use to set up a conference call?

I used freeconference.com and used the free line. This is the second time I've done a blitz this way and it works really well for my team! I think we're going to do more of these.

What I'm thinking is next month to have a night where we host coach our upcoming shows... then another night doing customer care calls... at least it would inspire some that don't make the time to do the calls to maybe do them.

We'll see! ;)

The first one I did, only two consultants joined me. But then they told the rest of the team what great results they got, this time we had 5 on the call! I know next time will be better too!!!!
