We have done a few.
Explained it at the meeting, including role playing to help give them the words, and gave them 24 hours to call in their results.
Another time we had a phone meeting and gave the time frame at that time.
Worked? For those that actually DID the challenge... absolutely.
I have also heard of clusters having everyone bring their cell phones and everyone makes calls at the same time and tally the results at the end of the meeting. I think this would be too much pressure for my group. They wouldn't like it.

Where have you always wanted to go but haven't yet?
Europe- I was supposed to go after college graduation with mom but I got married then pregnant right after graduating so we have posponed the trip now indefinitely (maybe with the girls are older so I can leave them behind with daddy for a few weeks)
particularly interested in - Italy, France, Ireland, Greece
Also: Austrialia or Figi and Africa for a Safari!
And On our 10 year annivesary we are supposed to go to the Bahamas Atlantis or back to Kauai?

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a Booking Blitz and how does it work?
A Booking Blitz is a focused event where team members come together to book parties or events in a short, concentrated timeframe. During this blitz, consultants use various strategies, such as phone calls, social media outreach, and personal invitations, to secure bookings. The goal is to create momentum and excitement within the team, leading to increased sales and engagement.
What are some proven strategies to maximize success during a Booking Blitz?
To maximize success during a Booking Blitz, consider implementing strategies such as setting clear goals for the number of bookings, utilizing a countdown timer to create urgency, providing incentives for team members who secure the most bookings, and encouraging collaboration through brainstorming sessions. Additionally, leveraging social media platforms to reach a wider audience can be highly effective.
How can I motivate my team to participate in a Booking Blitz?
Motivating your team can be achieved by creating a fun and competitive atmosphere. Offer prizes for the top bookers, recognize achievements during team meetings, and share success stories to inspire others. Additionally, providing training and resources to help team members feel confident in their booking techniques can boost participation and enthusiasm.
What tools or resources should I provide to my team for a successful Booking Blitz?
Equip your team with resources such as booking scripts, promotional materials, and social media templates. Consider providing access to a shared calendar for tracking bookings and setting reminders. Additionally, offering training sessions on effective communication and booking strategies can empower your team to succeed during the blitz.
How can I follow up after a Booking Blitz to ensure continued success?
After a Booking Blitz, it's important to follow up with team members to review results and celebrate successes. Schedule a debriefing session to discuss what worked well and what could be improved. Encourage team members to maintain communication with their new bookings and provide ongoing support and training to help them convert those leads into successful events.
