Desperate for Bookings? Try Sending a Mini Catalog!

[csulier]

I need some help with getting some bookings. I tried email, but soon realized a lot is getting caught in spam. So for some of my "potential" hosts I want to send out a mini catalog with a note saying something like...look at all the great things PC just came out with book a show now and find out how you can earn them for free.

Is this a good idea? Does anyone have any advice on what to say? I'm starting to feel desperate as I don't have any bookings for April!

Thank you!

Phone calls. I would definitely do phone calls. Even if it is just to call and say, hey I have this neat mini catalog of new products can I send it to you.... Yada yada. Then follow up. good luck

The best way to get bookings is to pick up the phone and call them. You have to ask for the booking. "Mary did you know we have a new catalog? We also have a great hostess benefits. Can I tell you about them?.... Great, I have April 4th and April 6th available. What works for you?"

Yup, phone calls. You've sent emails, now you have a reason to follow up. "Hi, just calling to see if you got my email and wanting to see what you thought. Did you see you can get XX for 60% off? How about getting your friends together for a fun night and stocking your kitchen for little or no money?"

Plus phone calls, when considering the time you have free calls on your plan if using a cell phone, are free! No stamps, no envelopes, nothing but time. The other plus, is the personal contact. People still really do like that better than a flier or mini or e-mail.

I've tried mailings and emails. Nothing works like picking up the phone and calling. There is a great training on CC "Phone Courage". I listen to it almost every time I go to make calls.
Good luck.

Where can I find the "Phone Courage" training? I just went to CC and did a search for it and nothing came up. I'm usually fairly eloquent but find myself tounge-tied and sloppy when making booking calls. I've only been a consultant for four months and have been really blessed so far. To continue that success, I really need to up my phone skills.

It's in the training center. Click "resources" the "all" and it'll be on the list. (Of course the website is down so these are from memory so don't hate if I'm wrong-but I was just on this week and that's how I remember getting to them).

I beleive you have to the online training center and then it should be under resources.
