January 8 - Super Saturday - Day #7

20 pts. each: Contact & invite customer to New Idea Book event. I recommend phoning people on your invite list.

30 pts. Contact & invite hostesses to schedule gathering in January or February. I use a similar message as above, with an email listing the next couple of dates I have available.

Respond: How many people did you phone? What are the dates you have set with a hostess?

40 pts. Plan gathering/classes/workshops for February – July. Think about the holidays coming up and schedule workshops or events with projects that will coordinate.

Once you have planned what your are teaching, make a month by month shopping list!

January 6 - Think Ahead Thursday - Day #5

10 pts: Create a product ordering wish list from the Spring/Summer Idea Book.  To create my wish list, I decide what I am teaching for the month.  I use the form I created in Excel (e-mailed to you Saturday, January 1).  I always teach with paper packets/stamp sets that I will use for my personal scrapbooking and stamping.  Once I have determined what I am teaching, I make a month by month wish list.  This helps me to plan my purchases and coordinate product use!  Works really well for me!
