Dealing with Canceled Shows? Tips to Meet Your Sales Goals in the Next 90 Days!

[dymplz8]

:cry: In the past two weeks I have had two different hostesses cancel their shows, reschedule and then cancel again :cry: My 90 days ends on May 7 and I really wanted to hit my (2nd) fourth show and earn some more PC dollars to use towards kit enhancement. I only have 2 shows scheduled for May and 2 for June. I guess I am going to try and host my own catalog show and see if I can at least get to $150 to meet the show requirement before my 90 days is up. Any other Suggestions

Try not to take it personally when your host's cancel. If a Host is unable to keep a scheduled show ask "You have to cancel your show?" It leaves an open ended question where they have to give you an answer outside of just yes or no, etc. I have had hosts cancel and by restating it back to them I have found that usually it is because they felt they didn't have enough guest's coming or their home was to small. Which by talking it through with my host(s) we were able to come up with a solution and they ended up keeping the originally scheduled show date or they held a catalog show and also rescheduled a show for a later time. Hope this helps.

Its ok your not the only one. I have had at least 5 cancells and reschedule or not reschedule. It is frustrating. I have been trying to get on the phone more and make calls. I usually find someone that will either do a show or just simply place an order. Sometimes my phone orders will reach a catalog show or I add them to another show. Every little bit counts!

try doing your own Help Whip Cancer fundaiser at the beginning of May. You don't have to have a show just do a catalog one or a phone sale. I am doing my own Help Whip Cancer fundraiser the first 2 weeks of May and it's a caty/online one. I figure then that I don't hear no because the weather is to nice & they have yard work to do. It's worth try. Plus if you get over $300 in sales split it up into 2 shows.

Hi there! I'm so sorry to hear about your recent cancellations. I know how frustrating and discouraging that can be, especially when you were hoping to hit your fourth show and earn more PC dollars. Have you considered reaching out to past hostesses and customers to see if they would be interested in hosting a show for you? You could also try offering incentives or discounts for those who book a show with you during this time period. Another option could be to reach out to friends and family and offer to do a virtual show for them. I hope these suggestions help and I wish you all the best in reaching your goals before your 90 days are up! Keep pushing forward and don't give up. You've got this!
