 A Day in the Life of Ashley Hempton
Cutco Sales Professional (CSP)
Normally I get up at 7:00-7:30 and go to the gym and work out. I like to get on the stair climber or elliptical, and then I do a little bit of weight training. After that, I'll head home for a shower and breakfast -eggs or oatmeal - while I watch Ellen. I make some phone calls (during the commercials, of course) and follow up with people. Then I'm out the door by 10:00 or 11:00 a.m.
I try to do 4 or 5 appointments a day now that I've graduated. One of my goals is to spend more time on my appointments. I like to get to know people, rather than trying to rush through my appointments. It's about quality, and I think my productivity has increased because of this new approach. And, I'm having a lot of fun!
Between appointments I'll stop for lunch somewhere healthy, and I'll talk to my friends and write thank-you notes to all my customers. It's important to hand-write them. I think it means a lot more when people get something handwritten; they're excited to open it.
As I'm driving to and from appointments, I try to keep in touch with my family and friends, so I'm always on the phone. I use a headset of course! On Mondays, we turn in orders at the office at 4:30 and then there's a staff meeting. I really like going because even if basic material is covered, I learn from the new people and it's good to be in touch with my manager and other reps.
In the evening I get on the phone for an hour or two, sometimes I'll have one or two evening appointments, or I'll have dinner with my grandparents or a friend.
Originally, I saw Vector Marketing as great while I was in college. I had lots of opportunities available to me, so now that I've graduated it's a choice. I can't imagine doing anything else.
