I called people from my list and said that we were working on a new promotion and I need 6 shows in January to qualify and told them the awesome extra host benefits for January that they will get. I had no problem getting more than 6 legitimate shows on my calendar. Promotions like this are there to help you pick up that phone and get that month off to a good start. Oh, and, don't stop at 6.

That's a wonderful schedule you've booked for yourself! Way to go. It's nice to see all your hard work pay off, isn't it? Do you send letters to your January hosts throughout the holidays? Our cluster does this (unfortunately I don't have any of the letters saved as a file....our director gives the hard copies to us). But each letter is something like giving a little reiminder about our show, showing our appreciation and includes a nice recipe that can be used around the holidays. It just keeps your name in front of those hosts' faces so they have the show in their mind just a little bit during the chaos of the holidays. Then you don't have to bug them by phone. If I somehow get the script of this letter, I'll post it here, but I strongly recommend this. Maybe someone else has it saved.friday said:I'm new here, so I hope that I am not crossing any lines with my opinion here.
I have 5 legitimate shows scheduled for January and I am thrilled. I have enough shows between now and the Christmas cut off that 6 in January will be no problem. This is the best booked January I have ever had in my entire career. I might even hazard to say it is one of the best MONTHS I have scheduled ever. (the trick now is going to be to host coach them just the right way so I have no cancellations- but that is another thread I am sure)
I have been in PC for 7 1/2 years. I have seen all kinds of shenannigans but the bottom line is you MUST be true to you. If you really want the towel, but don't want to work for it, then it is sort of a goodbye gift because how can you possibly stay in business with that sort of standard?

Hmmm...Maybe it's just Canada or maybe it is in the US too, but we just haven't heard about it yet. I'll keep my fingers crossed because I would love a double points month!!!friday said:It is double points month in Canada. It was in the newsletter I got from my Exec. Director yesterday. I have to assume that she knows what she is talking about. (??)
