What is book: Definition and 188 Discussions

I am going to try this at my show today in an attempt to book Feb. It's a spin-off of a game I saw on here awhile back about 5 items. I tried that one at a show & it didn't go over well because they didn't want to do the math or had the attention span of a gnat.:rolleyes: Anyway, this is...

1. Can a guest who does NOT purchase something book a show? (and the host still get the booking benefit?) 2. What is the benefit of a host booking a show from her own show? I mean, she can only get ONE host benefit per show right??

Has anyone had success with "book to look" prizes? What are you offering? Has it been worht it? I don't want bookings that are going to cost me money when The Pampered Chef already awards hostesses so nicely. I was thinking of free recipe ingredients or maybe a $ amount extra in free product...

I believe John (aka pampered 1224) made up these and offered to sell them. I have been selling a lot of Trifle Bowls and many have asked for recipes. I can't find the post anywhere!!!

In reading some threads about the lack of success on the Black Friday sales and lack of bookings I've noticed that lots have said that they've mailed flyers and e-mailed notes to people and very few mentioned getting on the phone and actually calling people to book, place orders, see about our...

I am holding a phone sale the day after Thanksgiving, and sent out an e-mail announcing it today. I just got home from running errands and had an e-mail from someone wanting to book a party! :) A good friend of mine forwarded my e-mail to everyone she knows, and this is one of her friends...

December BookingsI still want 1-2 more early December bookings- so in my customer newsletter I am offering the Trifle Bowl for free is they have an in home show of $500 or more in guest sales. I'll gladly make a little less to get a couple more quality shows. hopefully I'll get some bites. I...

How do you get people to book fundraisers? I'm having the hardest time marketing them, especially here at the holidays. I've done one fund raiser, but it was my new recruit's training show, so I didn;t benefit from it. I want to do more FRs but can't seem to get people to book.... HELP?!?!:(

Our meeting is tomorrow night and they want me to present ideas on how to book a strong January. I usually have 3-5 bookings per show because of my index card ? i sprinkle thru my demo (which I presented at the meeting in Sept,) and just get them to date my calendar at my show. I really don't...

My daughter who is in the 7th grade wants to take a book to school to get some orders and possibly some shows booked. Any ideas on how to handle this, I would like to put a flier together for her.

I have a catalog party and the lady would like to include an "online ordering" option and email to send to her far away family/friends... does anyone have a good email to send to those family/friends to let them know there is a party and they are "invited" Thank you Theresa

Will those of you that have this dilemma (like me) share your ideas for getting the January bookings when we aren;t quite where we want ot be for December? At shows, if I talk about the January special, no one will even look at December! On the phone, I think I could glaze right over December...

I want to mail out some of my Holiday Minis........... Anyone have festive or :love: cute inserts?

Ok so here's my idea.. let me know if you think it's worth my time. I'm going to email and mail (mini catalogs) to everyone who has been to a show or hosted a show with me. (it's not a TON of people as I am fairly new and haven't had a whole lot of success with shows at this point) Anyway I...

well, first I have a hostess that moved her show from tomorrow to next saturday and will most likely be getting oct special b/c the "cookware is too expensive" unless her friend that she booked from wants the cookware. I have another show tomorrow...she seriously doubts that she will have a...

Being a LeaderBeing a Leader Being a leader isn’t just for directors. Good consultants are leaders. They lead their hostesses to successful shows. They lead their customers to cooking solutions. They lead themselves and their families to a quality, well-balanced home life. Their careers go...

I don't have my old books with me as I'm on the road and my friend who's been taking up orders has been using the old and new book. She doesn't have the number written by one page and I was wondering what was $19.50 on page 23 in the old book. I need to make sure it's not something that was...

Hi Everyone, A few of us are looking for the flyer "Book Tonight" updated for September - November. Anyone have it or working on it? Thanks so much I have a show Tuesday and want to be able to bring it with me. TIA :D ;) :love: :)

2007 Leadership Booth Workshop??I got this CD set (2 CDs) on my first Fall supply order. I have only listened to a couple of tracks and it is awesome. Did anyone go to this workshop and have any of the handouts from it?? Thanks, Kathy

Ok so I have a host and a co-host for Aug. they have one friend that books for Sept. Can they both take advantage of the monthly special??

I bought a book recently that I'm really comfortable recommending for those who get into their food prep (okay, that be me:blushing: ). It's called Knife Skills Illustrated, A User's Manual by Peter Hertzmann. It retails for $30 :eek: , but I think I got a good deal thru Amazon. Anyway, it is...

I just talked to one of my best friend's tonight. My recruit had someone(a past host of mine) in my BF's office take up a show(perfectly fine by me). Well my recruit told MY friend today that she booked her a show off the coworker's show for the booking benefit if she wanted to do one in Sept...

I saw on another thread some recommendations for books for direct sales. I am fairly new to the site and have been looking at archived threads along with new ones, and now I can't find that thread again! So, do you have any book recommendations that have helped you specifically with your...

I have a lady that contacted me about wanting a book, does anybody have a letter they send with the catalog.

I was just reading the thread about the door prize slips and the lead books and wondered, do you make a page for your book for every customer you come in contact with? I can see where it would get to be a lot of pages, but also I want to keep track of who I call.

The Book a Show tonight flyer updated June - August

Does anyone have a flyer that is geared towards teachers who are home for the summer to book catalog shows?? I have searched files but can't come up with anything. Any help would be appreciated!!:D
