The New Generation

After the Easter weekend I am all pumped and ready to get back to work, my datebook are filled with bookings this week and i am excited.  First off today I was suppose to be having a facial with a young girl that I met while I was shopping.  She was very excited about learning more on how to take care of her young skin so she can prevent wrinkles in the future and I am so excited to share what I know with her.  But as the facial time approach, I called her to confirm her appointment and she didn't answer my call.  I called 3 times and I finally decide to let it go for now.  Perhaps she got something came up and she couldn't make it to the facial session, it is too bad because I have got something fun planned for her.  I left her a nice message to let her know to contact me to reschedule when she is ready.  Sometimes it is just very difficult to understand why people will make plans with you and not show up.  I will just blame it on the fact that she is still very young and that's the new generation of communication. 

Good thing I have been well prepared by my director, she have told me that usually on average when you book 10 facial, only 2-3 of them will successfully hold, many times people have things that are more important come up, more important than facial, so they will re-schedule and occasionally people will just not show up and you will never be able to get a hold of them again.  I learned quickly that it is their lost not mine if they don't show up, it is their lost because they have lost an opportunity to try some great Mary Kay product.  I didn't loose because there will be plenty of faces out there who will want the Mary Kay product, so I moved on.

I used the time that i was suppose to facial her to make phone calls instead and i managed to get more bookings.  And since I did my job and used my time wisely rather than getting upset over a no show, I was able to reward myself with a 2hrs nap so i can be re-charged.

In the evening time, I attended our special consultant only meeting night, directors had shared with us all the great new products and the challenge  for this coming quarter.  It is so exciting to know what we can do to boost our business and also earn some gifts for doing our job.

I have to say I am very happy with my opportunity, I am so glad someone ask.
