any resourceful ideas to generate bookings? I know this doesn't count for my 3 contacts a day, but I will Follow Up with these folks and ASK.

My business crahsed in August, with a host who defaulted on her own show - can you believe she was "too busy to attend" her OWN show? Then 2 weeks later had not given me payment for her goofy knife, so I let go - guests were bailing and p o 'ed at me for no product, so I entered their orders on another show and sent it in. Anyway, hopefully this will get things going again. I'll report back.

Scott, I love this idea!I'm restarting my business after a 10 year hiatus and things are going slowly right now...but I've booked shows for January :)Thanks for this idea!
 
This is great, Scott. It ought to jumpstart something for you :) Thanks for sharing!

And, it's cool that you looked beyond that non-host in August and took care of her friends. :thumbup:
 
Please keep us updated on your results. I'd really like to know how this works for you. I may try this to get my bookings/sales for the sell-a-thon. I'm not doing too good with getting my bookings to hold. Any advice as well as this will help me.

My best advice is don't re-invent the wheeel: stick with what the company gives us. Have you done the Host Coaching class on training-ConsCorner?

Use words they give. It works!
