Re: BookingsThere's a booking thread up top in the selling forums that is a great read, there are tons of great ideas! I joined 5/31 and qualified from my first four shows, but I have a few bookings from those shows and I hope to get some more bookings from those shows. I'm also doing the $1000 Mystery Host Show and am hoping to get some bookings from that. I'm also doing an Open House in September to show the new products for fall and am hoping for some leads from that.
I'm also thinking about Pampering a business, I'm not the most outgoing person so that's really going to be a toughy for me since I don't do a lot of business in the area and don't know many people, but it would be a good way to meet some new people and I'm all for helping my business grow.
Those are just a few things I'm working on. Good luck and this is a great place to come to help you with ideas!
