Maximizing Hostess Bookings: Strategies for Effective Out of the Box Calls

[pampermejolene]

When you all do out of the box calls and leave messages do you just leave the ball in their court?

I had a few people at the last show that mentioned catalog shows but I couldn't nail them down at the show. I called them to do out of the box calls and reached voice mails. That was on Friday, it's now Tuesday. I did say in the message that May is a great time host (catalog or cooking shows) because of HWC. I don't want to nag, but I also don't want to be at the end of their to do list and eventually fall off of it.

Any ideas?

In the first message I leave I say that I will try them back in the next few days. Then I say I'm sorry I missed you again, I'll try you back next week. If I get another machine I say I'll try back next month. Then I keep them on my list for 4-6 months later.

Oh, and I always try to get email addresses so that I can send them my monthly newsletter (and keep my name fresh in their heads).

As an pampered chef consultant, I would say that leaving the ball in their court can be a good strategy, but it's also important to follow up if you don't hear back from them. Some people may need a gentle reminder or nudge to take action, so a follow-up call or message can be helpful. You could also try sending a personalized email or text message, as some people may prefer those methods of communication. Another idea could be to offer an incentive for booking a show, such as a free gift or extra host rewards. Ultimately, it's important to find a balance between being persistent and not being too pushy. Good luck with your out of the box calls!
