I absolutely love reading the posts on this board! I'm one of the ones who doesn't really have any upline support, so this is such an awesome support to have found!! smileys/smiley1.gif
I've been a consultant for about a year, and have already exhausted my warm market - all my relatives and friends and even my hairdresser, realtor, etc. have tried the products and some have bought from me, but I've only gotten to do 2 parties (well, actually 5, but 3 were no shows). Anyway, none of them are interested in parties or able to buy more any time soon, and aren't really willing to give me referrals....so I was just wondering what to do in this situation? I do have 1 bb, but she hasn't had much success, and is pretty discouraged right now. I recently gave samples/catalogs to the nurses in my doctors' offices and even the lady at the gas station near us, and I'm going to call them back next week, but they didn't seem all that enthused about it all. Do y'all have any more ideas about who to talk to? I thought of hanging flyers on the doors of everyone in our neighborhood, but then I was thinking it's really the one-on-one stuff that sells, not anonymous flyers on people's doors.. What would you guys suggest I do?
Thanks sooooo much!

I've sent you a pm...smileys/smiley2.gif
When you approach your warm market, ask them, "do you know anyone who would host a presentation?", instead of asking them, "would you host a presentation for me?". This takes the pressure off of them, and just about everyone knows a "party queen"smileys/smiley36.gif

Also ask for referrals. Give something for people who give referrals. I give a gift cerificate for Arbonne.. only can be used with me.
