Okay so I got some leads from a Home & Garden show and I am really discouraged now. Out of the 9 that I got in touch with (spoke to a real live person) I got absolutely no bookings. I asked them if this was a good time to talk, had conversation, talked a little bit about the Home & Garden Show and nobody would book. Why the reluctance to book. When they said they didn't want to book I asked if they would be willing to attend a fundraiser. All but 3 said yes. So at this point since I only have 6 leads left that I didn't get in touch with that didn't answer I'm thinking of doing a fundraiser of my own and sending out invitations to these ladies too.
Why such a poor response. I knew that not all of them would but I thought I might be able to get say 3 that would be willing to host a show. I guess my expectations were too high. Is it better to skip the drawing and just talk to them one on one and try to schedule them right there at the show? Just thought I'd ask since I have a couple of other events coming up and if I get a spot in the Farmer's Market I may try a different approach. What do you all think? I got a better response with my catalog tote and my logo wear.
Any feed back would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Judy
