What do you say at your shows for bookings? Before you can change it, you need to know what you are saying. How many times do you talk about booking a show throughout your show? If you are waiting until the end, you are missing the boat.

I suggest you audio tape your show and listen to what you sound like at shows..I know it sounds scary:yuck:....but it will really help. When I did this I realized I said Fabulous like 100 times...it started to annoy even me! One of my consultants said ummmm.... and we all learn from what we don't want to repeat.
 
I agree about recording yourself. Or you could have your husband or someone else sit in on one of your shows. I remember when my husband sat in on one of my first shows. He hold me I said "you know" a lot!

i dont really say much about bookings. i have mostly family and close friends to help out at first. i have not had any others then that i did not know at a show. what do you offer as a incentive besides the genural from the ho
 
Put a sign next to your checkout area that says "If I fail to ask you to book a party, you get free shipping".

You won’t forget to ask everyone then, will you?
