SUMMARY

The discussion emphasizes the importance of following up with invited guests after a show to maximize order placements. Participants are advised to call those who haven't ordered or attended, encouraging them to view the catalog or website for new products. The conversation highlights that once the show closes, no amendments to orders can be made, making timely communication crucial.

Before leaving the night of the show-

"Before we close your show, you'll want to call everyone you invited who hasn't already placed an order or couldn't come tonite. This is an important step because if you invited them, you'll need to find out if they'd like to place an order."
"You'll be surprised how many will want to look at a catalog or check out our website to see what's new. The last thing you want is for us to close your show and then someone calls you with an order. I can't amend the order once it's sent in."
"It's not neccesary to pressure anyone, just say-"I'm going to be closing my show on____________ , they have a lot of new products, and I didn't want to leave you out. Would you like to look at a catalog or check the website?"

and I can assist with any orders that come in after the show closes. Just have them call us or email us directly with their order. "Let's get going on closing your show, but don't forget to make those calls first."
 
:
Great advice! It's definitely important to make sure you follow up with everyone you invited to the show. You never know who might be interested in placing an order or checking out the new products. And I agree, it's better to give them the option to look at a catalog or website rather than pressuring them. Thanks for sharing this reminder.
