Melissa, peek through the "Picking your brain" thread above - it's full of ideas. I personally LOVE the Un-party invite for anyone who has said "Maybe" and hasn't booked, or the $1000 Mystery Web/catalog show.

Why not treat your hair dresser to a treat?

I've recently received 2 calls randomly to people who have seen/taken my card on bulleton boards (I keep a stash of cards in my purse and... this can be important... a push pin for those times I see a bunch of business cards on a board).

Call your 1st hosts. Call hosts who are close to losing their PhD. Host a Mystery Host party of your own, and invite a few others to display too (they will bring some new customers your way)...

Good luck!
Susan :)

I had to totally ROFLMAO at this one.
My hair dresser is my SIL. I have been trying to convince her to have a show for over 2 years now.
She is still to have one for me!:grumpy:
Thanks for the tips!!!
I have 2 so far and I am going to be calling people today and tomorrow to push some shows.
OH, and my month ended over $2,000
the highest I have EVER done!!!!:D

I find that just talking about PC gets me sales and bookings. I just had one co-worker turn in a $70 order to me today. I gave a catalog to a substitute teacher who is subbing for me tomorrow and turning in an order to me. Another co-worker ordered $40, and another booked a November Show. I talk PC in the bank, store, post office. But always keep business cards or mini catalogs with you, so you can give to those unexpected encounters.
