I know this horse has been beaten to death, but "really"

:confused:HOW DO YOU INCREASE BOOTH SALES??:confused:

I've done MANY booths and fairs, both as a PC consultant and for another company. My sales at the most have been $200. I love bookings, but would also like to increase my sales.
 
To me, booths aren't about sales. It's all about the leads for bookings and recruits.
 
Same here. If I get enough sales to make it a show I feel great. If I sell enough cash n cary to cover my lunch and a few treats it was a good day.

Now for contacts... If I book 2 shows I call it successful. I aim higher but 2 is my minimum.
 
I wonder this too. The next step I am going to take is to attend some of my fellow consultant's cooking shows. I am not a "sales person" so it will be good for me to hear what lines other consultants use to make a product desirable and also how they cross sell.
