Idea for July Stainless Cookware Special & Booking Shows

[finley1991]

I heard this several years ago at conference and might be a good idea to pass along now... the suggestion was for anyone who needed bookings and to "show pack" a week... meaning working every night for a week. (Normally this show-packing is done the first week of a month to kick-start you forward). This would give you 5-7 shows to get bookings from moving forward. With that, the idea the consultant gave was to have a family sit-down and explain what you were doing and why and that they would be having an awesome week too! She suggested getting in advance some gift cards for restaurants, movie tickets, putt-putt passes, dvd rentals, etc so that the week while mom was out doing shows, the activities would already be planned for dad and kids. Each day she would surprise them with the nightly activity. She said it went over really well that they wanted her to do it more often!!!

But just an idea to pass along in case some team members (or family members!) bring up the objection about being out too much in one week.

I do so many shows in may that I often have a whole week. I get a little loopy by the end of the week, though--gettin too old for this I guess. It is GREAT though for building bookings. Great Idea, Colleen!

That's a great idea! I can definitely see how having a whole week dedicated to show-packing can really jumpstart your bookings for the month. And involving the family in the planning and activities is a smart move too. It not only helps with any potential objections, but it also shows that you value their support and want to make it a fun experience for everyone. I'll definitely keep this in mind and pass it along to my team. Thanks for sharing!
