150 Places to Prospect - Help Me Get to 200!!

In summary, a comprehensive list of places to try for getting more bookings has been compiled. This includes carrying a Catalog Tote and letting people come to you, as well as visiting doctor's offices, college campuses, salons, retail stores, and community events. Other ideas include networking events, preschools, and wearing logo wear. It's also important to ask for referrals from customers, friends, and family. Additionally, wearing a Help Whip Cancer pin and including business cards with local bills can also help attract potential bookings.

Wow! That's some list!!! So, is your goal to hit so many of these a day?? ;)

Oh, I have one (don't think it's on there) - the racetrack (we have race horses! :))

And what about the unemployment office?? ;)

Well, using this, it wouldn't be hard to meet the 3 of 3-2-1!!

Any more ideas?
 
My auto insurance called me about something and caught Pampered Chef on my voice mail and asked me about it...She might host in December :)
 
I like this kind of list because I make most of my contacts in person when I can.
Add Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts.
 
Ask for REFERRALS from your customers/friends/family

I've got insurance offices and Boy/Girl Scouts. I'll add Referrals now! :) Keep up the great ideas!
 
ok, kind of similar to what you already have (your list was so thorough!)
wear a Help Whip Cancer pin on yourself or purse all year round (small, but people do notice)
I go to a lot of yard sales with my Dad and try to remember to wear PC logo wear to them, also, if you have you're own yard sale make sure to wear pc or have old catty's out.
I know it's been mentioned on the site before but didn't see it on your list, include a biz card with any local (or for that matter non local if you have a website) bills you mail.
