By request, I'm extending this challenge 1 more week.  Last week was a little challenging with Easter preparations...so here is take two!


This challenge is for ALL of us.  For some it may not be a challenge at all because we’re used to doing it.  This week I CHALLENGE you to do your 3 contacts a day.  If you’ve been doing this just give us a report so others can SEE that it’s working.  I want to know what your 3 contacts resulted in for the week.  If you haven’t started doing this yetTODAY’S the day!

Remember 3 contacts a day should lead to 2 bookings a week and 1 recruit a month!  Your 3 contacts a day can be phone calls to past hosts, past customers, new customers, or someone you come into contact on your daily errands!  3 contacts a day.

This is going to be a challenge for me to be CONSISTENT in making these calls.  Several future challenges will be based on assuming we’re already doing our 3-2-1 plan.  So let’s make a habit of this NOW!  We can do this right?!  They say it takes 7 days to form a habit.  Let’s use this week's challenge to make this habit stick!

Go to our Documents section and print off the 3-2-1 tracking sheet to help you get started and report back DAILY with your results or give us a week all at once by Sunday.  And did you know there are 3 check boxes on your Consultant Planner designed JUST for the 3-2-1 plan?

YOU CAN DO THIS!!!  I BELIEVE IN YOU!!

Michelle's Note:  Just can't do 3 contacts a day?  I understand.  It's hard sometimes.  We all work our biz differently.  Don't sweat this challenge!  DO what works for YOU!  Make 1 contact a day...push yourself to make 2 a day...CHALLENGE yourself to do 3!  If it helps to start off slow...START SLOW!!  We're not competing here!

Been fighting HORRIFIC allergies (sinus-induced headaches, earaches, & "knife" to the throat pain) for the past week...I'm afraid I'm gonna have to haul myself to the doc in the next day or 2. So the contact I was suppose to make on Monday night I completely airheaded out on & forgot to give out a cattie. So mad at myself. Won't see this couple till NEXT week on the following Monday night.
 
Tuesday: nada zippo..... Too flippin' busy playing catch up around the house (overflowing hamper of dirty laundry for starters....can you say EIGHT washloads?!).
 
Wednesday: went to the library w/my kids & ended up passing out a biz card to a complete stranger....Sorted a $900+ show afterwards & put together 2 host packets; delivered one of them tonight at church.  Also gave out more catties & OOFs for my next Friday's show hostess earlier this afternoon just before the library trip.  Did I mention how I'm about ready to toss my printer cuz it's grabbing multiple sheets of paper at once?! So frustrating when I'm under a time constraint not to mention a limited supply of ink left.
 
We shall see how the rest of the week goes....

I wish I could edit my post....
 
Thursday: At library storytime a woman saw my catalog tote and said "I love your products!" But she already has a consultant.
   Closed show with last week's co-hosts. One of them ordered TWO 16Piece Dishsets!!!
   Got CC number from a friend who ordered and convinced her she also needed the can strainer to go with her can opener
   Picked up my HWC guest items from front office of the apartments, opened it there to show the apartment manager, she agreed to let me set out a little HWC display and order forms April 30-May4 while people come in with their rent checks :)

Wednesday:  Bad day...was late getting my daughter to school.  Went to the store only to realize I FORGOT my money!  Went back to the store to pay.  Got home only to realize I forgot to pick up diaper wipes for the baby and a card for my brother in law.  Hubby decided to haul off 3 loads of broken tree limbs from our winter storms and I didn't make it to the post office before they closed. 
 
Thursday:
1. Followed up with a MOPS mom from Tuesday.  Need to bring a product to next MOPS for her to see.
2. Passed out a biz card to a lady at Lowes.
Did 5 loads of laundry Marian!  You have me beat, but I have another 3-4 to finish up today!  I was swimming in dirty laundry! 
 
Too funny...I was downstairs this morning finishing up a load and was down there for about 20 minutes folding and hanging so I could get the next load in the dryer so I could wash our comforter for the second time in 2 days...puppy decided to pee on my bed last night! UGH!!!!!  My hubby is at the top of the stairs...Michelle?  Michelle?  Michelle!!??  I didn't hear him until the third time with the washer and dryer in my ears...he comes trampling down the stairs and it made me jump!  He said he called my name 3 times and was worried I got LOST in the laundry!  Then he saw how there wasn't much left (compared to the night before) and was soooo shocked by how much I had got done.  You should have seen his face turn from worried to shocked!  It was priceless. 
 
Alright...I need to get busy for the rest of the day.  Laundry, packing, and 3 contacts today!!!

Thursday:  nada zippo again...only b/c I spent the better part of the day doing some MUCH NEEDED spring cleaning in my kitchen!! But WHEW! Did that feel good to do or WHAT?!!! (Oh yeah....add another 2 more washloads to the week's total for laundry! Sorry, Michelle, but I beat ya again on the laundry total for the week!! LOL)
 
Friday:  Set up a show on my PWS & sent her a "Thank you for hosting a....blah blan" email.  Then later on I walked another Hostess (who's SO not computer savvy) through the set up of her behind-the-scenes hostess section of my PWS (like 45 minutes worth of time!!). And lastly, I contacted my show hostess from 2 weeks ago to collect the final check & FINALLY hit "pay-dirt" & got her to bring it over. YAY!!!!  So there, I made my THREE Contacts for the day!

Ok here's my wrap up for the week:
 
Friday: 
 
1.  Old friend from high school:  knew we'd be in town this weekend together so we got together and I gave her a catalog and a biz card and she's going to "try" to do a catalog show for me once she gets back home.
2.  Lady at the gas station on the way out of town noticed my bag and says Oh I love PC!  So I gave her my card and took her info!  Yea me for remembering!
 
Saturday:  Bridal Shower for a family member.  Gave PC gifts and got lots of oohs and ahhs...talked to several people that I sell PC!!!  2 were catalog show customers I've never met before so it was nice to actually meet them in person!
 
Sunday:  Spent the entire day with family and watching
KU MAKE IT TO THE FINAL FOUR!!!!!!!
