What is bookings: Definition and 200 Discussions

A while ago my computer crashed and so I lost some information. I had done a back up, but after the last one I then entered in details and submitted 2 shows and then it crashed. I have most of the info from order forms, but not all the outside orders. Now I'm wondering if I can find out...

In one of the conference training bookings classes (from this year) that is now online in the training center, they mention a 'blue sheet' that was handed out. i think that the sheet has a first set of instructions for the host, including some wording for her to use to text/email to her guests...

Hello Ladies, I was wondering if anyone had any letters or specials that they send out to those people that have either booked a show and had to cancel or say they really want a party and keep having me call them every couple of weeks. If I could get them off the fence, I would be golden! I know...

Hi everyone, So I have this idea and am asking for recipe help and feedback. I would like to advertise a theme show for moms to get some more bookings and expand my circle of customers. I was thinking of learning to make some baby food using the MFP and teaching moms how to make their...

There is a new Online Training Course video/training: "Boost Your Bookings". I just finished it, and it's quite good! Some good resources, and great word choices. I especially liked a calendar they give with word choices for various Season/Events (New Years, Valentines, Sports season...

Went to Ross, in the dressing room, on the phone talking recipes with a host, hung up and booked two parties in the dressing room to two ladies who overheard my conversation!!

I had to give a Wahooo...a shout out to Home Office. I have 5 shows booked for June and 4 for July already and this weekend I realized I had opened my last pack of catalogs to label! I did a quick supply order for 3 packs of minis and 25 more catalogs and they were just delivered to my door 10...

I sent out the July booking email today from CC. My june 21 host just emailed and said "those specials look great can i switch my date?" ARGH I knew I shouldn't thave sent it yet but my June is full...I didnt think my June hosts would switch dates. How do i gently but firmly say NO?

I haven't been working as hard as I could have to get bookings so I can't complain too much. However, I seem to hit road blocks no matter what I try. Last Tuesday I went to 9 businesses & left a catalog with employees (nursing homes, beauty salon - catalog on table for clients at salon, Realtor...

I hold once a month conference calls. Tonight the topic is Bookings are Everywhere. I was planning to train on how to find bookings outside of a party. This is the single most asked question I get. Nobody called! I am going to be possitive and assume they are all too busy calling their leads.

Today I have to attend a football trophy event for my son. The team has quite a few coaches and 3 awesome team moms. Times are a little financially tight for me right now so I was happy when the team moms suggested we give $10-$20 to pool together for gifts for the coaches. But I wanted to do...

Hey Everybody! I just thought I'd share one of my booking ideas to fill the first part of my January. It's a theme show called New Years Brunch, I figured I could demo the Ham and Cheese Calzones or the Three Cheese Veggie Pizza and have something like the Ho-Ho Trifle, Chocolate Raspberry...

Just a thread to ask..."how many bookings do you have for January?" mine so far...4 cooking shows. :chef:

when i call and when they don't answer i leave them a message telling them that i will email them, but does anyone have like a template to email someone hostess specials or do you just send them the hostess and customer specials?

Hey everyone! I've read through so many of these threads and everyone has great ideas. BUT.. I cant seem to get bookings at all. I've done all the training they offer on CC. I do my 3,2,1. I've held craft shows to get my name out there, I leave mini catalogs wherever possible, i try to get...

Is anyone else having a really hard time getting bookings for December due to everyone being "busy" with Holiday gatherings and such? I have tried telling the people I am talking to that they can get last minute gifts, bring a catalog to their Holiday gathering and turn that into a catalog...

So, as I have written a couple times before, I am new to the area I live in.. We just moved here in August of this year, and I don't know anyone... I am not a shy person by no means but when it comes to asking a complete stranger to book a show, I freeze... Like, I just can't do it... My sales...

So I have been thinking that since I moved, it may be a great way to find potential bookings! The complex is pretty big, but I don't have access to any other building but my own, (mailboxes are not in reach either) What are some ways I can reach out to the residents to get my name out there...

I had to share... this has never happened to me before! I had 2 phone calls today with people asking for a party! One was a lady that was at an open house I did on Thursday - she picked up a catalog and was super-excited to do a party. The other was from someone in our condo complex. I had...

I watched a DVD (sorry, I'm not good with names) from the top seller in the business. I'm hoping someone will make a comment with her name. She suggested that instead of advertising what the next months host special will be, include it somehow in your demo so guests will want it. After you...

I was reading through an email from my director from a month ago that listed 118 ways to get bookings. One of them really caught my eye and I took it to a new level with a visual demonstration. (I'm a visual person!!) I thought I'd share! Using the small bamboo bowl (or other PC bowl/platter...

I wanted to share with you how we did our team meeting on Monday evening, because I was THRILLED with how well it went! We decided to do a bookings bootcamp meeting, and I focused on the three ways to generate bookings. 1. Out and About Contacts For this portion we talked about the...

I need some ideas for the customer appreciation booth I am doing this Sunday. There will be several other consultants there as well. I was thinking of a couple of specials but I really want them to want to come to this event.... What specials do you think would be good? Any kind of...

I'm so frustrated! I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I even did the Dollar Days info, etc. They just won't commit! Any suggestions on how to get more bookings. In fact, I've done 8 shows now without any booking from any of the shows. My shows have all been from phone calls that I make...

Tonight I had a show with a crowd that was similar to my last one. Bunch of nurses. I have been struggling with bookings, so deiced to just ask them. I came home with three shows booked. I am so excited - that was really what I needed. Now to get on the phone...

The host of one of my October shows called me and said no one at her work was really placing any preorders because they all usually order from the latest fundraiser thing being passed around. I made three batches of Mini Tiramisu Bites and delivered it to her work on the large bamboo platter...

I'm traveling about 3 hours away from home to do a show. The host is a family member of my husband's who wanted to host a show. I'm really excited about it, and am looking forward to also visiting with them. I really need more bookings for the next couple of months. But I am not willing...

I have a question. I know that if you do rubs or some other product like that you can just add it to the order when the guest holds her own show. But what about the idea someone had about prep bowls filled with candy? How do you entice them with something not in the catalog? Do you bring it as a...

Morning all! I am doing an open house this evening and I am really looking forward to it. My upline let me borrow the rest of the new fall stuff so I have it all on display! I have signs up in the neighborhood and just over all excited about this! One thing though. There was an email out...

Yesteday, I went to my only show for the month with such doubt that my host would be able to invite people or if she did, I didn't think a lot of the would order. Boy was I soooooo wrong! Before I even started the show she already had $200 in outside orders. In the end, she had 12 people...
