I just got home from a really good show. You know when you're just "in the zone?" Everyone was laughing and having a really great time. It was a pretty small show (5 guests- $300 in orders) but ALL BUT ONE OF THEM booked a show!! I couldn't believe it! Even my hostess wanted to have another show in a couple of months. I was really thrilled!

I used the booking slide- and I really think that helped.
I just wanted to share my good news!
 
I have a show tomorrow and am going to use the slide for the first time. Hope it works!!

Can someone tell me what is this bppking slide??
 
Check out CC Downloads. You can print it from there. It is a great to way showcase all the benefits from hosting a show.I have been using mine for a couple months and my show average for booking has gone up. Best one so far is 7 people at party, 6 bookings! Give it a shot. As with anything...try it for a month...then decide if it works for you!
 
Also look at the old Cons. Newsletters on CC. Under news you can use. There were some great articles.

Here's mine......

I jazzed it up a bit

Paulette....too cute! Thanks for sharing
 
I'd love to hear more specifically how you work it in...and do you use page protectors and just hold them up, flipping through them? I'm all ears :)
 
I'm not sure about Paulette, but I taped the bottom of one to the top of the next. I fold them together then flip them out to full length when I'm ready to talk about it.

I also have mine in sheet protectors and taped together and it works fine. Through trial and error, I have started reversing mine so I don't flip it all out to start with. I now unfold it as I talk about each feature and then the whole thing is displayed at the end. When I flipped it all out, people were so overwhelmed with trying to read it all, they weren't really listening to what I was saying. I get much better response now.
 
Thanks, Ladies...how do you segue into it?
 
Toward the end of my demo time I say, "Now, there are lots of reasons to host a party of your own." Then I flip out the slide with a flourish. I then go through each point one by one.
 
Thanks Rae! I have my second party Saturday and am working on my flourish :DPS I sent you a FB friend's request (my in-real-life name is Michelle Miller)
