I have been in this business for a couple years, and I'm awful at getting bookings at a show. Until yesterday, I have NEVER gotten a booking on the calendar- only "I don't have my calendar with me here at the show, call me tomorrow", which sometimes does wind up in a true booking, and sometimes not. Yesterday I played "poker for a prize" where the guests get their hand of 2 by asking questions about the biz, then I lay out "did you know" facts along with the shared 5 cards down on the table. I realized I forgot to bring the prize!!!! So when it was over, I announced the prize was an absolutely free show at their house- I provide all the ingredients! She was excited, and booked right there!!! Holy cow- I honestly don't think she would have said yes if I had asked her to book during checkout- I'm so excited!!!
