[abrahamlaur]

wow awesome job girls! those are great ...

 

[abrahamlaur]

okay so just got the urge to do this! i'm going to go thru allm y contacts after i put my daughter to bed and start calling. (shes going to bed in a few minutes) ... i'm excited, i really really really REALLY hope i get the same results as you girls ahve!!!!

 

[SillyChef]

Okay What is everyone saying when you are making the calls??!?

 

[Kitchen2u]

Being EXCITED when talking to them is the MAJOR key ~ if you're excited, it's contagious!

~ create a sense of urgency (gotta get it booked now, before it's too late)
~ ask them for THEIR help (people love to help)
~ be SINCERE (folks KNOW when you're reading from a script)
~ Pink products ONLY in MAY (who wouldn't want to help whip cancer!?!?)
~ If you have to, offer an incentive. Create a challenge amongst other hosts

I can't say that I say the same thing to each person cuz it depends on who I'm talking to...a dear friend, a past host, a cancer survivor, a past customer, last year's May hosts and customers...

Good luck! Just be EXCITED!!!

You can say you're doing a challenge, 24 bookings in 24 hours...that works too.

Ginny

PS:

Almost forgot why I clicked on...got another May cattie show!

I have a Santoku knife that I was thinking of giving away as an incentive.... do you think it would be better to offer it to the host with the highest show in June or July....or do a drawing of all of the hosts with 500+ shows from June and July? Thanks!!

Wow Jennifer ~ I want to be one of your hosts! For me ~ that wouldn't be something I'd give away ~ I'd rather have two of those here.

But you're insisting of using that for an incentive in June/July ~ definitely for the highest show.

Well I have one that I use all of the time, and then this 2nd one new in packaging...I earned one when I first signed last year, and then another in my SS plus package....so I really don't have much invested in it... and I don't know of any other way to sell it, since the lifetime warranty wouldn't really apply....so I feel like I should be giving it away. And I was thinking of doing the rest of 2007....but then when we got the info that sell a thon is 2 months in a row, then maybe that is a good time to just do it!

 

[PChefPEI]

Good luck Kristin!! I have to agree with Janet....kick up your PC business!!!

 

[pamperedchef_OK_LA_MS]

I made a booking benefit flyer just for June/July hosts. You made need to change the font because it is a font from DJ Inkers....

I got the idea from Jennifer somewhere on here.... I think she mentioned it in another sellathon thread...

Thanks for posting! I used yours, but tweaked it quite a bit, only because I am offering two incentives... It's attached.

 

[pamperedchef_OK_LA_MS]

Laurie.... How are you doing with your bookings??? Any luck??? I know a little friendly competition always motivates me!!!

 

[jenniferknapp]

Jennifer... I like yours... I don't have an extra kinfe sitting around though... oh well!!

Do you have any other products sitting around that you can throw in as a special? You could do a kit enhancement order, and give that product away (if you haven't already done one) ...umm, or you can always pick another product, and plan to put it on a host's order in early August, and use their percentage off...

 

[pamperedchef_OK_LA_MS]

Ummm... I have a Large bar Pan.... But that is it... and some smaller items...
