I am having a terrible time with bookings. Only because for the first time in 6 years, I am out of people I KNOW! So, it is my goal to book at least - get this - 4 shows in May, June and July by the end of this month. The way I am going to do it, well, deep breath and plunge in.
I am going to acutally step out of my comfort zone and ask total strangers!
I have litterally 11 leads from shows but can not get them on the phone. I have only one with an e-mail address so... I will work on them too as they too are people I have never worked with. Other than that, I decided to walk around a couple of neighborhoods near my home, using HWC as the "opener". Hoepfully that will do the trick. Flyers at our groceries stores don't work. so face to face it will have to be. Wish me luck!
 
Good luck! You can do it!!
 
Positve thinking. You CAN do it! :)

Let us know how you did.
 
Good Luck John! You will probably reach your goal and then some!!
 
Let me know how you do! I'm at the point where I am re-launching my business. It can be tough!
 
Good Luck John! And you too Anne!
 
John, I'm in the same boat you are about not able to get bookings and out of people. Good luck to you and keep us posted on how your doing.
