So, I have a million "maybe"s as far as bookings go, but it's always "next month" or, let me check with my friends. I usually try to overcome objections, by saying "what is making you wait" or the "if you pick a date you are comfortable with, your friends will support you," or one of those types of things. They ARE geniunely interested, but dont want to commit. So, I don't want to beat a dead horse, but how long between calls to follow up?
Example: There is a mom at school, and she said "Hey, can I book a party with you?" (SHE ASKED ME! woo hoo!). I said, "of course! when were you thinking about?" She says something to the effect of, "I'd like to look through the catalog and ask my neighbors when is good for us," and I said, fine, no problem! I called about 4 days later, and she said they were still perusing the catalog, and asked what the specials were. I got her email, emailed her the specials, and added a note about booking a party for October (I'm due to give birth in Nov, I want to book up my Oct!). She never responded, but I don't want to overkill and call again, I know she's interested and she can contact me when she's ready, but... that was about 2 weeks ago though, and I want to get a date if she does want an Oct show...
How long from between calls do you give when someone says "let me think about it,"?? or "I'll get back to you"??
