I don't usually like to post negativity. Not that I am LIKING posting this, but, well, you kwim...so I am sorry if this post is gonna come off negative - I REALLY need to vent and could really use some encouragement and advice...
Remember a few weeks back when I had a phone-fest and called ALL those customers to get bookings...well one was SO Excited to hear from me "I was just looking at your biz card and meaning to call you - I want t pbook a show but we're having a lightning storm right now can I call you back in a few hours?" She never called back. I called her several times over the next few days/weeks...even sent hre a Nancy's postcard...NOTHING.
The one gla who so enthusiatically booked a show just called me to say her DH suddenly announced they're going out of town that week so she needs to reschedule. But she doesn't want to pick a new date til the 1st week of August when she has a better idea of what her calender will look like. I am now down to 2 definite shows in July (i already got the guest lists), the big FR in July, one more show - this host is SO enthusiastic and said she'll have the guest list o tme this week, and one more show that is a HO lead -- which means it could go either way. I have 3 on the books for August, 3 for September and two for October. I NEED to get more on my calender for July.
What an awful season this has been for me. Looking at my past years in the biz I see this summer has not been any worse than any others...but the thing is that I had pickedup such great momentum...I was booking lots of show and really was on a roll...them Nay hit and I hit a wall.
I want my momentum back
I am $10,000 below (in year to date sales) than I was this time last year. Granted, I have done WAY more recruiting this year and that is where a business grows...but I want my sales UP again!!!
WAhhhhhhhhhhhh
