Am I dreaming or was there a thread here about the ticket game and someone who shared about how she does it and incorporates the bookings slide into it? If it's here, would some kind soul please point me to it? Thanks
in advance.
(I asked this on CS also because I can't remember where I read it but I wanted to re-read it all and now I cannot find it)

Well, why don't we morph it into that! I was just completely intrigued with pcjenni's post about her integration of so many things with the ticket game. I hope she doesn't mind but I'm going to repost her note here about how she does it:
Here is how I play the ticket game:

Demo is done, food goes in the micro or oven. I turn around and pull the tickets from my apron pocket and say "Ok, we are going to play a little game while our food cooks. The game is, if you ask me a question about my Pampered Chef business or about hosting a Pampered Chef show, I will give you a ticket. At the end I will let Susie Q Hostess pick a ticket from my apron pocket for the winner. That way you can beat her up instead of me if you don't win!" I wait and if a few moments go by and no one ask a question I say "So I know you are all thinking this but no one wants to ask because we just don't talk about this in polite society right... you all want to know how much money I make!" This gets a laugh and gets the ball rolling if they have not already started asking questions.

When someone asks about hosting, I do the booking slide in the middle of the game. I make a big production of throwing it out in front of myself and going over every slide.

I think the key to my success with the game (I just signed my 17th personal recruit this year, earned excellence in recruiting last year and WILL earn it again this year ) is that I turn their questions into the answers I want them to hear. So if someone asks me "so how much money do you make" Instead of saying "My commission check last month was X" I would say "Well, let me tell you a little bit more about me and my situation. I started my PC business 4 years ago as a way to get out of the house and make a little bit of mad money. I have a 4 1/2 year old daughter and became a stay at home mom. I quickly realized I needed something for myself. I was invited to a PC show......" I tell my whole story about how my business started and evolved into replacing income for our family when my husband took a paycut earlier this year. That way a lot of people can relate to my story. They can see my income evolved over time and how they can get out of the house, get free products, trips, true income potential etc. I have some of my commission statements in my binder with my hostess specials etc. Then I would say, "the average consultant across the country makes X a show, but as you build your business you get better at the shows and make more money per show on average. You will see several of my commission checks in the binder".

I will have the game go on for 20 to 40 minutes most of the time.

I have been trying to do the ticket game more often and I like it. I LOVE the casual blending of the bookings slide into this. I have been setting my timer for 3 - 5 minutes but often go beyond that as questions keep coming so I love that you shared your time frame with us as well. I've also done it without the time and just said I have 10 or 12 tickets so ask quick if you want in on the drawing but I feel bad because what if question # 13 may be what Wallflower Wanda wanted to know but it doesn't get asked because
I limited the tickets to 12.

Does anyone else have new, different or unique takes on the ticket game? I learn so much from all of you and can't wait to hear more on this topic.
 
Thanks Diane! :candyheart:


I know - after reading Jenni's post, it made me think of how I might have been limiting people. Many times, the questions are coming fast and furious, and the timer goes off, and then they just stop - times up! Who knows what I've been missing out on by putting the time constraints there. :confused::cry:

I'm excited for my show this evening! I'll be doing Chicken Your Way, and the Ticket Game Jenni's Way!:D

I thought the same thing... and how I might be limiting MYSELF!!!!!
 
I use recipe cards with my information on them . The more questions people ask, the more recipes they get, PLUS whomever has the most cards gets the prize... and everyone takes home something cool with my info. :)

Ooooo...great idea! I have so many recipe cards that this would be a great way to purge my over stock!

Sorry I am not contributing...too busy stealing:bugeye::D:rolleyes::chef:
 
Don't mind you reposting Quiverfull7! Love the idea of the recipe cards, will share that one with my team. For new people, I think the raffle tickets are easier since they don't have a lot of recipe cards... remember, easy and duplicatable builds your team.
 
Ok, the recipe card idea is brilliant. Best idea I've heard today.

I've done the recipe cards too... and they don't have to be the PC ones... I've got some that I printed on bright card stock that are PC recipes and I just stamped the back with my info. Last time I did it I think the gal who won had 8 different cards and they all had a ball.
 
I've been using mini one hundred dollar bills I got from the booster. Has a subliminal message on them too. Then I collect all the money back when it's over and re-use. The one who has the most money, wins, and then I say something about how many shows it would take to earn that much.

Oh! I have those bills too. So you give them the bills and a ticket? Or how do you pick the prize?

I use this bills in place of a ticket. Whoever has the most money, wins the prize.
