Busy Booths: What Do You Do With 47 People in 2 Hours?

In summary, the author suggests making sure you are the one who puts the forms in the bowl or box, wearing an apron, and talking to people at the booth.

i did a booth today and spoke to a minimum of 47 people. that doesn't include the people who didn't fill out the slips. i know it's recomended to make notes on ppl who do fill out the forms. but 47 people in 2 hours means that i was talking to a new person roughly every 2.55 minutes(yes i did the math) when booths are that busy, is there anyway to try and keep people straight? i mad notes for like the first 10 minutes i was there and then got a big rush of people. when the rush was over, my bowl is full and i had no clue who filled out what.but i was just curious what others do in that situation.
 
One suggestion I heard recently on a training CD is to make sure you're the one who puts the forms in the bowl or box. You can make a quick note on it before you do. I haven't tried it yet, but I have an expo coming up in a few weeks. In the past I haven't made those types of notes. I ask that people fill the form out completely. A week later I call to thank everyone who came by the booth, answer any questions, and ask if there is anything I can do for them.

i do this. I don't have a bowl or box out, actually. I wear my apron and collect the drawing slips myself and I look at the slip before they walk away. That way I can see if they didn't put their phone number and then ask them for it. Or I can see that they didn't answer the questions and ask them about the opportunity or a show. That way I am already qualifying my leads and know who I should follow up with right away and who can wait. :)
 
I wear an apron as well (it's a small black waitress one) and put the slips in there. It's easier to do that way. It's hard when you have a rush like that but try to think at every lull. I also was talking to people at one booth and would say, "Okay you want the newsletter, check here" so that helped me some!
 
I fill out drawing slips for people. I highly recommend this. I still have some out for people who want to enter if I'm busy with someone else. But me filling out the slips allows me to direct the conversation and guage how interested they are. Then I can write a quick note on the slip. I'm not even sneaky about it - sometimes I'll even say, "oh I'm going to write that down so I remember who you are" or something.
 
I'm gonna try this in a couple of weeks at my last booth of the season. I'm making a change in the way I do the slips in that I'm not giving anything away in a drawing to just "everyone"....the ladies who bring stickers and that. If I'm gonna do a drawing, I would like it to be someone who is genuinly interested. I'm planning on wearing my apron, which I usually do, and keeping the slips in my pockets. I'm getting a lot of good ideas here....keep them coming!!!
