I have done a few events and haven't made many sales. I have a Quarter Auction tonight and Wednesday and one party on Friday, I REALLY want the April Apron so I need the 2 Auctions to make sales.
I sold a couple things at my last auction. I make chips ahead of time and lay those out with the set and rub so I have sold a couple of those. And I do a $10 gift certificate drawing at the end of the auction and I sold to the 2 ladies that won at the last 2 auctions...but they only purchased things under $15. I also saw a tip somewhere here about putting sets up to display with their prices. I have 5 sets I put together for my table.
My question is...how do you close the deal??? I am a terrible closer. My first auction I had 5 people wavering back and forth about the chip maker, I sold one. What do you all do to make the sale at these types of events. My main goal is still to get bookings (I am pregnant and was too exhausted during my 1st trimester to work my business and now I am seeing a blank calendar ahead) but I really want to make enough sales to get my apron.
Thanks everyone
