QUOTE=Laura Michelle;28682055]Hi Girl
However, the New Year is now here and the bad weather is here with it. I am really struggling to get shows booked in and I am running out of ideas. I feel so unmotivated at the moment with it all and I just dont know what to do. I was hoping to get my own team going at some point but I cant even see that happening right now when I cant get any shows booked in.

Hi Girls,

I have been a PartyLite Consultant for about 9 months now and am really impressed with what we get. I went to Conference in August and loved every minute of it - I came away so inspired. Sandra was fantastic.

Sorry to hear that you are struggling

Unfortunately we are all in the same boat weather wise , but it wont always be like that. Give it another week , then people will be far more interested in having a party. Right now they just want to stock up on food and stay in and keep warm. Try and stay positive and make plans and ideas for getting parties. It will happen , it just has to be the right time for the hostess. Here are some sites and articles that you might find useful and may give you some fresh ideas on how to get bookings

I'm just back from our Regional Gathering - weekend filled with Fun, Training, Recognition, Socialising and so much more.

It was fantastic :j:j

I am so motivated and will be passing on as much as I can to my team.:beer:

I also can't believe just how many different promotions are going on at the moment for EVERYONE, Hostess's, guests & consultants.

For those who can't get out and about just now make sure you can get on the phone and spend some time explaining everything which PartyLite have to offer.

If people are not hosting parties then use this time to maybe try sponsoring, (remember that as well as £100 GC's you are getting the gorgeous black-pearl 3 wick holder FREE).

Why not also spend this time to do all your customer service calls? call back all customers who have ever bought from you and see how they are doing with thre products and if they need any more?

Sort out all your paperwork, have lots of hostess packs made up, so when you do get back up & running you are ready to go!

Good luck and here's hoping the snow only lasts for s short while so we can make some money!:rotfl:

The snow is thawing here. We had snow last night , but at least the children are back to school. Hopefully things are getting back to normal thank goodness . The kids were beginning to drive me mad!! Weve got our regional gathering next week as well as an extravaganza tommorow . We are also having a unit get together on saturday whare we are having a meal and doing recognition for December. I Can't wait . These meetings and events leave you feeling so energised . Its come at the right time too , just as many of us are feeling so dispondant and frustrated because of the recent weather

Youve got the right idea by working on your business if you have a party go down. Its very easy to feel down about parties being cancelled , but by making phonecalls and working on your business this will keep you positive and motivated . I have not done leaflet drops but it is worth a try. Ask at your local community centres etc if you can put up a simple poster about having a party. ( there is a good one you can get from the CBC) Get some cheap business cards printed from somewhere like vistaprint and leave them everywhere. Tell everyone you know what you do. Good luck with it , you have the right attitude and I am sure you will do really well :j

Thanks candlesrus! :T I've already ordered things from Vista (just waiting for them to turn up!) & managed to persuade my hostess that cancelled to rebook into Feb! I actually just got some of those leaflets off CBC today and you're right they are really nice!

I've also booked myself a open house party for the 1st week in Feb, more for contacts than sales! I've got a lovely Unit Leader who's been really helpful...I've just got itchy feet now & want to get started!!!

Wow , Ive just come back today from the extravaganza . A real motivator . I can't believe how much P/L are giving this year to january hostess's , a free 16 piece votive sampler set just for holding a party , and this is on top of the commision additional free votives and holder . It was worked out to be £128 worth of products free just for holding a £165 plus 2 bookings show!!

Lunch was fantastic , and came away with lots of free products . I also met some lovely people today too.

I have a query - in the Speed date flyer it states that if you recieve your kit between 1st Sept - 31st December you would get 6 packs of 6 votitives to use as hostess gifts. I didn't recieve these (got my kit in December). Do any of the leaders know anything about this?

I don't have my consultant ID yet so I can't log onto the website and chase this up. This would have been really useful as I haven't gotten any candles to give away yet and I have two parties booked.

thanks

Did you actually do your starter show in December???

This was a promotion for people who were starting in Sep-Dec to hand to their first 6 parties as an extra incentive to help them do fast start.

Maddie - contact your upline leader as they should help you!

I suspect you got the new kit in which case it wouldnt be applicable.

Hi

I did contact my upline but is was shrugged off. You are probably right as I do have the new kit.

The reason I am questionning it as the flyer states votives will be included in Kits issued between 1st Sept and 31st December 2009 so I was expecting to get this as my kit was issued in December. It would have been nice to have some votives to give out to my hostesses as I wont have any for awhile.

Thanks for all your help :j
