It's time once again to put on our thinking caps! It's Think Ahead Thursday!
10 pts: Create a new contact packet. Prepare a cover letter introducing them to the Idea Book, your upcoming workshops, clubs, crops, etc. What should you include? Some ideas – ongoing or upcoming classes, monthly special flyer, sotm flyer, hostess and consultant information! Be sure to make it portable to put in your purse and hand out when you meet someone new!
Respond: Respond with a comment to this post - how many did you prepare and what is your goal with them? Where do you think you will meet new people?
20 pts: Create a class plan to teach Studio J. If you would like an updated copy of the 6 Studio J classes Tera Boring and I created – send me an e-mail.
Respond: Share your plan to teach Studio J
30 pts: Make a list of everyone who has expressed an interest in being a consultant or you think would make a great consultant. Be thinking of how to connect with them to share Close To My Heart.
Respond: Post on the blog how many are on your list and share any concerns/questions you have about recruiting.
"See" you tomorrow!
Chris
I have been trying to figure out the best way to "package" my new contact packets. I have decided to put everything into an idea book mailing envelope. I wanted to have Idea Books ready to and wanted to have all the handouts etc. with it. The envelopes are the perfect size for everything! I put together 5 of them. Now I just need to make sure I schedule time at the beginning of each month to get the packets updated with new flyers etc! :)I will keep them with me to hand out whenever I talk to people about Close To My Heart. I think that my kids school would be a good place to meet people who scrapbook. I also plan to take the packets along with me on the airplane. I will have work with me and that sometimes leads to conversations about what I am doing... etc...etc... :)
ReplyDeleteI have 3 Studio J preview parties scheduled for the end of February and the beginning of March. I am going to use it as an opportunity to show everyone how it works and the basics of Studio J. I will then show them an overview of the "classes" Chris and I have devised to gradually teach them all the details of Studio J. I am hoping that I can get people to either book Studio J gatherings or have a group from my workshops who would like to attend workshops on Studio J. I am also going to offer a drawing for a 12" x 12" album on March 15th (1 week after my last preview party). Everyone who signs up for a 3-month membership will get one entry in the drawing and everyone who signs up for a year membership will get 3 entries in the drawing. I am hoping (1) that this will help people to make the decision to sign up for a membership and (2) that once people have started playing with Studio J they will be "hooked" and begin using Studio J on a regular basis. :)
I made a list all the people who have mentioned an interest in becoming a consultant or asked me about sales minimums etc and anyone who I think would make a good consultant. There are 7 names on my list.
