I just got a call that someone wants to book March 1st (just over a week away). What's the best approach to host coaching this close to the show date? Do I just have her call everyone and get RSVPs that way? I'll be dropping off her host packet tomorrow.

Thanks - all my previous shows have had lots of time before them!
 
Yes, have her make her list and call everyone. That is her most important job as the host. The rest is just details.....can't have a party without people. :)(I once booked a show 10 days out and it was over $1k, so it can be done!)
 
How Awesome! Have her call/email (emails thru your PWS would be great!) everyone right away. If you do invites for hosts I may still do postcard invites if she gets you all the addresses tomorrow so you can get them out. They will be a good reminder.
