Don't forget ~ create a sense of urgency! "You can only get these products in May (pink) ~ only get this special in June ~ I only have ___ ___ and ___ dates in June/July for YOUR party!"

I know this booking blitz is for June and July Sell-a-thon...but remember, MAY shows will get you June and July bookings!!!

I belong in Finance/Accounts Payable. I had this job in Travel and Order Processing :confused: It just wasn't right. I am really not too upset. I just left Staples after being there for 6 years for this stupid job. Well I made a couple of contacts and I am going there (Staples) at 3:30 today for an interview!:)

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!
 
Tonight's results--I made a total of 15 calls. These were leads from a fair I did two weeks ago.

5 left messages
1 recruit lead (it was kind of an interview, she wants me to mail more info)
1 call back in a couple months
1 call back next week, has to check with her friend who would cohost
1 call back in two weeks
1 call back tomorrow (we set an appt)
1 already has a consultant
1 no answer
1 busy signal
1 send a catalog
AND......
1 May cooking show booked!!!!

For May I have
7 cooking shows
1 cattie show
1 fair
and I'm running my THINK PINK fundraiser

For June I have
4 cooking shows
 
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!!
