We're in Business!

I got business cards.

Not the greatest picture. The cards are light blue with brown and white detail. I really like them. I especially like my initial being on there. Makes me feel grown up. I bought 500. I have set myself a ridiculous goal to get rid of half of them by the end of the month. That's huge. HUGE. I'm not worried about whether it's possible or not, just that I have a number in mind. Visualization is key.

Speaking of visualization, I need to figure out a way to make $450 in retail Tupperware sales happen this month. So far, I've been hoofing it old school style: personally going out around town and handing out brochures and now my business card. I've gotten mostly disinterest, which is a bummer. Today I went to three businesses here in Talent. One guy might as well have just handed it back to me, I'd hate the info to go to waste. The second guy was very enthusiastic and said he'd talk to his wife about it. I will go check in with him on Monday and just say, and probably get lunch or something. The third place took what I had politely and said she would pass it on to the owner. I also put flyers up on two community boards. I'm gonna hit more of those on Monday as well.

I really really really really really want to get parties on the books, but I'm not finding my market. It's driving me crazy. How are all these ladies in Medford getting tons of parties and recruits and I have NOTHING! I am incredibly thankful to the 6 people who have purchased from me, as well as my team leader. However... I need to continually generate income, and I can't rely on the same few people. That's not fair to anyone! And I don't want to wait til the weather gets nicer for my neighbors to want to do things. I mean, I want to plan things with my neighbors, but I'd like that to be a little separate too. I've been bringing what products I can to work, but that's only been a few days, and no one has commented really. And I already have one product I'm going to buy back from my friend because it doesn't do what she thought it would do. In the long run it's okay, because now I have a display and a demo version of that product, meaning I can sell the display one. I just need something to catch on here. Like, really really need it, or I just don't know what is going to happen at the end of this year. This can't fail. I need to find the path to make it take off, and soon.
