What is bookings: Definition and 200 Discussions

Hello! So I have been posting where I am SUPER SCARED of the phone! But my business was paying for it, so I decided to go for it last night and JUST CALL! I did and I called 6 people, left 2 voicemails and got 4 bookings! YIPPEE!!!!! I just had to tell everyone! On another note, I am...

I was just wondering. I have a show coming up this Saturday afternoon and I STILL haven't figured out what to prepare. I wanted to do something easy in the DCB (please share easy recipes with me ;) ) but I'm afraid that people will get upset with it being a host only item. Then again, some...

Want to start a blitz right now and get a leg up on the 15th? Begin on the hour and work for 2 hours, then post your results. Post any tips you have. TIP: I'm calling past folks who wanted a show but didn't work out at a particular earlier time... hot leads. Then, I'm calling folks who...

I am a new consultant, just outside my 30 days. I made the $1250 in my first 30 days but now I have NO bookings in June. I tried the email $10 sale and got NO responses :cry: . I need to get a show for this month. I have called and emailed everyone I know....I have two booked for July but...

Had a show last nite..first one since the announement of the DCB info. Had 10 ladies there. It was a "spur of the moment" show...someone referred this host to me the day before I was leaving for Disney...told her I could do a June 22nd show... 5 of the ladies ordered a baker, 1 ordered 2 of...

I'm in a quandry and need some sound ethical advice! Back at the end of January, I had a host who wanted sign on with me. At my host's original party, I got a booking. My host wanted me to do the show because she wasn't ready to start yet and the show date from the booking was coming up. I...

Have any of you heard of this idea? I just listened to a 20 min. phone training call where Jeaneen Rosales taught how she's using this method and having tremendous success. Anyone ever try it? Here's the basic idea: She cuts out pictures of products between $20 and $30 value and puts...

I say two and a half because the one booking told me that she has one friend of hers that intends to book a show when she has her show. :D:D:D:D:D AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fantastic sales, fantastic crowd, fun time had by all of us. It was just as I anticipated!!:thumbup...

I have potential hosts who ask me to call them to schedule their party but consistently get an answering machine-even when I've asked if this is a good number and time to reach them at. What kind of message can I leave to let them know I am following up at their request to schedule a party? And...

It's that long sheet where guests can sign below the martini glasses on the dates that you've written there as available. Has it worked for you? How do you use it to get them to book?

Can someone change this into a black/white PDF? It is the HWC Bookings poster and I am only needing the second page changed. I would appreciate it deeply. I usually don't have a problem doing so, but for some reason today would be the day that my computer is not cooperating!

Hey, I was wondering, when a show gets booked from an FR, does the ORG get the $3 with the ending donation check, or will they recieve it after the show was held? TIA!

Hello all, I'm new on here (and somewhat new as a consultant) and did my first Bridal SHow for a friend on Tuesday. Could someone remind me how bookings at the shower benefit the bride? We're up to almost 1,200 in orders with outside orders, so she'll be "cleaning up" for sure, but the host is...

Just passing along some info about a free tele-seminar with Steve Wiltshire (I first heard of him through Tammy Stanley). Here is the link to register and get a bit more info: Steve Q. Wiltshire - FREE Tele-seminar "10 Bookings in 10 Days" He's got some space available for this call next...

So I really have a heart to help with the Help Whip Cancer Fundraising, so I will be throwing a party of my own but I would like to send out something to all my past contacts with a letter encouraging them to book but I would like them to order to support the cause if they are not able to throw...

i'm really wanting to increase my booking in may so that i can help out a good cause. i've been kind of down lately because everyone i ask has a negative response. i am welcoming any and all ideas. please help me!

I am pretty new to PC & am having a really slow start. My family has been most of my Shows, but they can only help me out so much. Most of my co-workers don't even cook so they're not interested. I've tried everyone at church with no luck. I'm kind of at a loss now. Any ideas or suggestions as...

I didn't find anything on here like this - I may not be looking in the right place or it may just be a stupid idea ... I don't know. Anyway - I was making up packets for a fundraiser the other day and wanted to promote bookings somehow....so I made up a booking brochure from the booking...

I have a show today and need to know what do I do to get the bookings. Lately no one wants to book. No. I don't do parties.... etc... Any suggestions at what is a ah ha moment for anyone lately? Schel

I'd love to hear how others do with this over the next few days. However, I tried to go on and enter a booking I just got for April and there's nothing up yet where we can enter our new April bookings. Anyone know if that's supposed to be up at a certain time today? Good luck everyone!!

Situation: I'll be moving to a new area 1400 miles away from where I'm currently located. I'm moving because my husband is currently at Keesler Air Force Base in Biloxi, MS. I'll be relocating to Gulfport, MS and living about 10 miles from the base. I need help! I would love to hit Gulfport...

Had a great show yesterday ($650 comm. sales) ...but no bookings- not even possible bookings! People just said no.... What do you do about that? Now I don't have any other shows for March!!!! :(

This is maybe a dumb question, but I just want to double check on this. For my shows that I have booked in early March, is it ok for me to be giving them the new catalogs now so they can get started on outside orders? Or are they top secret until Mar. 1? TIA

I am a new consultant, just received my kit on Friday. I'm having a really hard time with initial bookings. It's amazing how some of my friends and family don't even want to help me out. Has anyone else run into this problem?

Okay, I have had no firm bookings for my last several shows. Talk me off a ledge here - I am feeling very discouraged. At my first show in January, I got 2 bookings. 2nd show, 1 booking but the woman emailed the next day to cancel, I think she had a weird dynamic with her husband and he...

Hi, Everyone! I need your help with bookings. I have been so very fortunate because in my first year I have not had to really work at getting bookings. I had such supportive friends and family, that I didn't need to! Now, though, I see my business slowing down. I work full-time at another...

I just had someone ask this question "If I want to book a party from your fundraiser, how soon would I have to have the party for it to count for your fundraiser?" Is there a time frame? I know that for a host to receive a past host special, the person who booked under her would have to have...

does anyone have a booking script for cold calls or warm chatter? I warm chatter a lot. the only problem is when i get home to call them i don't have a warm chatter booking script to ask them to book a show. i know pc says to start with recruiting but i would like to book a show, show them...

So I'm a newbie and I just submitted my third show, and I just noticed that when I finalized the show, it says something about only bookings from the show count toward the past host benefit...and that the host will not benefit from potential bookings. Does that mean if someone from the show...

OK!! Where to start?! I started PC in May of 09... Working a full time job and a new baby I worked PC as often as I could and done ok. I never had a "Grand Opening" so after exhausting all my family and friends I decided to go out on a whim and have my Grand Opening in November when I had...
