I do have some bookings but they have not dated them yet. Hopefully this will be enough incentive and it will also entice more. I have 4 bookings from last nights party so I am going to include them unless they date in May. I know one of them will be May for sure.. which will make 6 cooking shows for May! YIPPEE! Now I feel more confident about beginning to fill June. Thanks SO much for starting this thread. It was just the push I needed to get me pumped and going! Who LOVES CHEFS SUCCESS??????????????? I DO!

I love that idea. I may start that too. Does she require them to do their shows within 2 months, 3? 6? I'm just curious. I do want to take advantage of all the shows I have in May. Although I tend to get bookings pretty regularly, they're just not as close in as I'd like.DebbieJ said:
Great suggestion! Let us know how it works out for you in May.

Hey Deb and others...
I only offer incentives if I'm in dire need of bookings...there's a couple in May I offered an incentive. Of course, all new bookings in June and July are getting them (if I get bookings at my shows...they're not getting them ~ only to the ones I'm calling)
It really depends on what I have here around the house and the host. If it's a past host who does very well with her shows, it's around a $25 value. If it's a flaky, funky past host...$10. If it's a new host (but buys a lot from me) ~ $15-20.
In May, I'm going to pay for their Host Special.
In June, I'll pay for one of the Chillzanne's Host Special. If they have a $1,000 show, I'm going to apply $25 towards the Forged knife Host Special.
Is that what you're asking? What I actually give them?
Becky ~ I only offer incentives if they book the month I want them to book in. Like I said before... I only offer additional incentives if I'm DESPEREATE for the bookings. Bookings from shows or if they come to me...no additional incentives. Only those I'm calling ~ make sense?
HTH ~
