Overcoming Booking Struggles: Staying Motivated in Tough Times

[krzymomof4]

I am really have trouble getting bookings. I had 5 for Nov. All but 2 have cancelled. I was hoping to get at least level one for the sell a thon, but that is not going to happen, and I am going to be short for getting Level 1 for the Golden treasures reward. How do you guys keep going when you have had a bad 1/2 year. I want to pull myself up by the bootstraps, but it gets so discouraging sometimes.
Thanks for letting me vent.

Keep your chin up!Just remember that this business fluctuates so much. It seems like all is going well and before you know it, it seems that everyone has cancelled and no one wants anything to do with PC.
But of course that is not true, that's just the way we perceive it. Keep your chin up and try really hard to book catalog shows, and kitchen shows from your already booked shows!!
If I want to earn something I try really hard to give some good incentives to my hosts. The dollar day incentive I saw on here is great!! You should give it a try and tell them your situation. Tell them you need to reach a goal and that you need their help. Even if it's a catalog show, that will definitely help you.

I'm sorry to hear that you've been having a tough time with bookings. It can definitely be discouraging when things don't go as planned. My advice would be to not give up and keep pushing through. One thing you can try is reaching out to your previous clients and see if they know anyone who might be interested in booking with you. Word of mouth can be a powerful tool. Also, make sure you're utilizing social media and promoting yourself as much as possible. It's also a good idea to offer special promotions or discounts to attract new clients. Don't be afraid to get creative and think outside the box. And remember, every business has its ups and downs, but it's important to stay positive and keep pushing forward. Good luck!
