Well here it is, follow up to my Host Coaching Scripts ~ I am hoping that these Show Booking Scripts will help us all with those ever dreaded calls!

I have been doing Pampered Chef since the middle of April '05 and I am still terrified of the phone! Well, now that I can have the words in front of me, I have absolutely no excuse to pick up that phone and make those calls ~ and neither do you!

Good Luck

"Power Hour"Okay, so I just finished making 19 calls to try to get bookings. I had 5 numbers which were out of service, left 11 messages on answering machines (announcing the upcoming specials), and got 2 No's.

So, in short, I'm not sure how I feel about this "power hour". Was it successful? I'm not sure....
 
Gosh, if anything you picked up that phone 19 times! Good job.
 
StephanieDon't want you to get into trouble so I'm letting you know that you're not allowed to put your web address on your signature. Againt PC policy.
 
So if I'm adding correctly you still got one booking right? :)

Want to make 10 call challenge tonight? I'd say 19, but I have a function at my daughter's school and don't want to commit to a challenge I'll lose :)
 
Stephanie,
Thanks again for the scripts, I would say your power hour was good, you did get on the phone right? Have you read the 100 no's document yet? That's 2 down 98 more to go!! :)
 
Stephanie, thank you for the scripts. I used one of them for the first time Sunday evening and it helped in that it has a very natural feel to it.

Stephanie - THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I have been needing something like this!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are show booking scripts?

Show booking scripts are pre-written dialogues or outlines that direct sellers can use during phone calls to potential hosts or customers. They provide a structured approach to conversations, helping consultants communicate effectively and confidently about booking cooking shows or parties.

How can show booking scripts help with phone call fears?

Show booking scripts can alleviate phone call fears by providing a clear roadmap for the conversation. They help consultants know what to say, how to respond to common objections, and how to steer the conversation towards booking a show, which can reduce anxiety and increase confidence.

Are show booking scripts customizable?

Yes, show booking scripts can and should be customized to fit the individual consultant's style and the specific needs of their audience. Personalizing the script allows for a more authentic conversation and helps build rapport with potential hosts or customers.

Do I still need to practice if I use show booking scripts?

Absolutely! While show booking scripts provide a helpful framework, practicing them is essential to ensure a natural delivery. Role-playing with a friend or fellow consultant can help reinforce the script and build confidence in using it during actual calls.
