Hello Barb,
You asked:  ”What is not working?”
I had a great October in Longaberger sales;  practically, nothing this month.  What is up anyway?
I have sent out post cards for events at my home with no responses.

Is there anyway I can recover by month end?

Thanks for your notes.

Corinne

Barb: First I want to acknowledge you for your efforts. Next, I want to let you know it is increasingly challenging to catch people’s attention. Your customers are bombarded by many messages coming from a variety of sources.

I would suggest even today… with hours left in this month (and year) get on the phone and thank your past customers for the their business. Offer a special and inquire if they know anyone who is looking to spend their budget for 2009. Sometimes you will find there are people who have a ‘use it or lose it’ budget in December and will purchase promotional gifts or awards for next year.

You can also use the time to build your business and bookings for January by sharing your great specials.

Thanks,

Barb
