My director uses a card like this in the guest lapboards. It forces her to ask everyone about booking a show. I made this one myself. Please use it and let me know how it works for you. I am planning to start using these at my November shows. I am terrible about asking everyone if they want to book a show. She says... don't make the decision to book for them. Ask them and let them decide. I think the card will make me feel less pushy. I can blame it on the card saying I have to ask or pay for your shipping.

It prints 4 to a page. Here is the word version. You may have to reformat it.

I think I'll start using these! I've thought about it. Sometimes I don't ask everyone...especially about the opp! I'm thinking I may add something about if I don't ask when they place their order, since that is when I usually ask.
 
Wendy,
Thank you SO much for these, they are WONDERFUL!!!:D

I always go through what is in their lapboard when I hand them out. I plan to explain the cards then. Saying, "when you come up to settle your order if I don't ask you about hosting a show or our opporunity then the shipping is free. I will ask everyone so nobody feels left out (ha, ha)"
 
i do this but i just say it at some point in the show, maybe when i am talking about host benefits or a line in the show about getting a product for free by hosting/signing up

i figure i have said it aloud, and those that hear it great and for those that don't it doesnt matter, i have just made the commitment to ask everyone since I SAID it.

it works and i dont' have to print more things to put into folders or catalogs
