Who May Find This Useful

I have slim pickings this summer, but I think I will do the 24 in 24 challenge after conference, like early August, to book Sept,Oct. and Nov. I have so many people who have told me they'll do a show in fall that I don't want to waste this challenge for the summer when I don't think it will be enough to sway them to schedule. If I did it in August and the people who have told me they'll do one in the fall actually come through, then I could have a lot of bookings.

Oh, Christy....get your name out there NOW! At least let people know that you are a PC consultant, and then maybe "tease" them with the fact that the new catalogs and new products come out in September...get them thinking about it now. You can even stretch the truth a little and let people know that your September is starting to book up now, and you want to give them their choice of dates...you need to get your name out there...and not just to your family! Talk to people you see...get out of your comfort zone. It's not easy to do, and I am getting better at it, but I know it's hard to go outside your comfort zone. I hope everything works out for you! I need to get off my lazy butt and get more shows booked too....just been enjoying my time off (no shows for June). So, now I gotta get back at it. I'm actually also thinking about an open house, soon after conference! That way I can start getting my September bookings now! Or, if not an open house, at least sending the new mini catalogs out...gotta do something! Anyway, I'm rambling now, so just get out there and talking to people. Good luck!

I chose to do June and July since those are the sell-a -thon months to earn free fall products!
So far 3 out of my first 4 shows have been very successful. The 4th show was last night and the host only had 1 guest and $30 in sales. She said she is going to try to get outside orders . I'm keeping my fingers crossed but not getting my hopes up. It's okay because I'm keeping positive and believe that this will be the only party I have that is a total "bust"
