What are you best booking tips? I am doing and express show at my game night party tonight with my friends. I took an 8 month break from PC because of school. I now want to do 2 shows a week. I plan on making a booking slide today. I'd love to get some booking tonight! Any great tips?

Lately I've found that the people who want more than they have money to spend WILL want to book a show...
So just asking whether there were things they wanted that they couldn't get this time...Maybe it's just me as well... when I was desperate for bookings, I didn't get any. Now that I'm wanting to do just a couple shows/month, there seem to be lots of people wanting to book (although they are quite spread out, and there are definitely those that book initially and then cancel later).
 
The Top Secret booking idea I posted a month or so ago in this forum has worked great for me...check it out!
 
Do the 3-pile full service checkout (It's in the training on Consultants Corner) and ASK EVERYONE. That way, you don't have to give away product and eat into your commission.
 
Two things:1) Invite EVERYONE to host.2) Make sure your shows are fun. I've booked more shows with people who "never host parties" because they had a good time.
 
Sprinkle booking tips throughout your show. HO tells us people need to hear something 5-7 times before they 'get it'. See attached. I print these on 2 colors of paper - booking is one, recruting is another. Then I stack each color in front of me during the show. As I mention a line from either one, I flip the sheet so the next one is ready to go. It has helped me weave booking lines and recruiting lines into my show language.Also, I adopted Rae's "think about it" brochure and give it to everyone as they checkout, then
-it makes me do the Morning After Calls (MAC calls)
I confirm their order, mentioning 2-3 cross sell items and
I check with them the next day if they want to book, or go ahead and pay full price for their most expensive item, or both.Make sure folks have fun. Don't be a control freak about mandating what folks do when--it's their evening to kick back, not yours! If the show gets away from you more than once, make it interactive and get folks up doing the demos. Have fun and they will too. Good luck! God bless; take care.

This is great advice! Ask everyone. I had a show last night with 7 in attendance, got 4 bookings and 1 recruit lead. Believe in yourself, believe in your company and ask everyone.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What strategies can I use to encourage guests to book their own parties at my game night?

To encourage guests to book their own parties, create an engaging atmosphere where they can experience the products firsthand. Offer incentives, such as discounts or free products, for those who book a party during the event. Additionally, share your personal success stories and the benefits of hosting, like earning free products and having fun with friends.

How can I showcase Pampered Chef products effectively during a game night party?

Incorporate Pampered Chef products into the games and activities. For example, use kitchen tools during food preparation or demonstrate a quick recipe that highlights the products. This hands-on experience allows guests to see the products in action, making them more likely to want to host their own parties.

What types of games work best for promoting bookings at a Pampered Chef party?

Games that encourage interaction and engagement are ideal. Consider trivia games related to cooking or Pampered Chef products, or a bingo game where guests mark off items they would love to have. These games can create excitement and lead to discussions about hosting their own parties.

How can I follow up with guests after the game night to secure bookings?

After the event, send personalized thank-you messages to each guest, expressing your appreciation for their attendance. Include a recap of the fun they had and remind them of the benefits of hosting a party. Offer to answer any questions they might have and suggest a few dates for their party to make it easier for them to commit.

What promotional materials should I have on hand during the game night party?

Have brochures, catalogs, and booking forms readily available for guests to browse. Consider creating a visual display of upcoming promotions or host rewards. Additionally, prepare a sign-up sheet for those interested in booking a party, making it easy for them to express their interest on the spot.
