How Effective is the Cook, Book, and Look Strategy for Business Growth?

[cookin to the top]

This year I'm implementing the "Cook, Book, and Look" at least once a month to boost my business. I know someone in my upline that had great success with it last year. Does anyone have a really fun invitation I can use? (Steal? LOL)
TIA!
PS- What are you all doing different this year than last to improve your businesses?

Re: Invitations?What is "Cook, Book, and Look" ??

Re: Invitations?Basically it's where all your recruit leads get together, you cook a quick recipe all together, sit and eat, talk quickly about the host benefits, and answer all their questions about the business. (Play the ticket game, but also have a season's best for everyone) You can also offer an incentive for signing that night- $5 off the kit? I had one last year, 5 people came, and I got 4 bookings and one person signed up right there! In my area, no one knows the PC, so I think it'll really help both recruiting and bookings.

Re: Invitations?The only thing different from a show is that it's all geared toward recruiting, and showing what a show actually is (for people that don't know, and would be less likely to have one if they have never seen one.) No sales, other than if peoople want to book a show, then you'll have sales at their show.

Re: Invitations?we are doing this as a group, under our director. We have about 10 consultants participating, all bringing potential recruits and friends. I think the crowd will create excitement and more questions will be asked/answered.

Re: Invitations?That sounds fantastic! What great energy!!! When are you having it? Please post and let me know how it goes. Do you have an invitation I can tweak and use for mine? (PLEASE???)

Re: Invitations?We are having it at my house. It is a great set up for large groups, very open. We want it to be fun, not stuffy or formal. we are doing several recipes from new seasons best and new 29 mins to dinner. i will attach our invite, we are doing two (one for our consultant, and one for them to give to their guests) i can't wait!

it won't let me upload now, I will try again later.

Re: Invitations?How fun! Which recipes are you doing? At the last one, we did several recipes too. (My upline drove 2 1/2 hours to do it at my house- wow! Now that I'm doing it alone, I was thinking about doing a dessert ahead of time, and one main dish for the demo. Are your recipe choices on the invitation? (Get their mouths watering before they even get there? LOL)

Re: Invitations?No we didn't put them on the invite, becasue we haven't decided yet. We are going to choose once we have a more confirmed #. I think we are going to get creative. Pick something for the DCB in the microwave, something in the oven, 1 or 2 stovetop, etc and we will set up a dessert station. I think we will do the new pinapple torte (the new dessert card) and 1 sor 2 more!!

Re: Invitations?I had the ginger mock-tini, (I'm not sure the actual name, but it was the first recipe in the new season's best) and it was amazing!!! I always seem to forget beverages when I'm hosting....

Re: Invitations?This sounds like the "sampling of the pampered chef". You can find it on the downloads section on consultants corner. I've been wanting to do it but haven't yet. In the "Sampling of the Pampered Chef" they have a full itinerary, and invitation. Check it out - the invitation is kind of bland but it could give you some ideas.
