I'm in an awckward postion and need everyone's advice. After 6 years in the business I need to learn how to make booking calls. What do I say to my friends that all know that I sell P.C. The awkward part is that I've never called any of them before to ask for a booking.
Thanks
 
There's a "Bookings" recording from Jane Miller on the Promotions Grid on CC from August and she mentions using "I thought of you because" as a conversation starter.

It's a good one! Perhaps something like "I thought of you because we always have so much fun together and it struck me that we haven't done a PC show together...
 
"Hey I wanted to let you know that I have turned over a new leaf and decided to be serious about my Pampered Chef business. I joined 6 years ago to have fun and the Company has done so many marvelous things that I'd be silly not to take advantage of them and do this now as a business instead of a hobby. Who do you know that would love to learn how to create amazing gourmet meals at home at Family Friendly prices? Do you think you could help me launch this endeavor right and have a few friends over to see how cool these tools are? I'll even provide the food ingredients for the recipe i am making--you just do a beverage."
