Boosting Business with Overdue Calls | Positive Responses & Bookings Update

[Chef Bobby]

Early this evening about 4:30 I started calling contacts that I should have called long ago. I couldn't believe the 100% possitive responses that I got from everyone.
I do need to work on getting bookings narrowed down to date instead of a certain part of the month.
I can't wait to make some more calls. This is what my business needed.

PS Happy Easter everyone!

Glad to hear you reached people. I'm getting tired of leaving messages!

My biggest tip on booking the days you want is to use sticky notes. Mark the first two weeks with your open show dates. Then I ask what day of the week would work best for them. It's easy to work when you have specific dates marked like that.

One of the mp2 downloads tells you to first ask what month is good for you, then what day of the week, then what time & then you can give them a couple of options from there. That makes me feel alot more comfortable b/c it is a slow work up to pin point a day with them instead of being wide open "when do you want to have your show". hth

Bracketology is great. That's asking someone to choose between two things, and two things only. April or May?
Weeknight or weekend?
The 19th or 26?
6:30 or 7:00?It really helps people make a decision.

I agree giving them 2 options really works. I have to get better about booking at my shows!! Even if they want to book 6-8 months out!
