Revamping Your Shows: Ideas for Successful Bookings & Recruits

[chefjen80]

I am working on revamping my shows to make them more fun thus hoping to generate more bookings and also some recruits. Does anyone have any great ideas that have really helped them out??

I play games. I figure if I go to one of these I'm there to be entertained

Have played Pampered Poker a bit. Took a few times for it to take but it works because it gets people asking about products hosting & the biz.

I also added to my last show the deal where I put a colored dot sticker on one of my lapboards. That person has to remind the group about the guest special 3 times and they get a door prize. So I give out 3 door prizes, this one, the one with the most poker pts and a standard DPDS one.

I also plan to start Book to Look. Got some really pretty little boxes and I'll put them out on my table when I demo to make them curious.

I got all these great ideas off here! HTH

Oh, how I wish you had been at the regional meeting in Columbus, OH. The speaker had some wonderful ideas for making shows fun and exciting. You can view some of her stuff at www.outwardimage.com.

Rae,

Do you have any notes from this speaker? The website doesn't give you a lot of information about what your are purchasing.

Thanks,

Shawnna

Thanks for the ideas, I will have to check out both and see what I come up with!!

I would play games, make sure that you talk to everyone and ask questions then listen. Make sure to have a structure on how your show will be before going gung-ho ... I find that works for me.

 

[chefjen80]

Thanks SillyChef..... I will try this as well!!

I need a list of questions to ask the guests to make them feel the need for our products and the business opportunity.
Any body have any good ones that gets the guests to express their needs?
Thanks,

Bobby

I do, but they're in RaeSpeak, so they don't make any sense to normal people. Her CD Designing an Amazing Party Experience is basically what she presented at the training I went to. I know that about $40 is kind of steep, but if you get several ideas that help you, you'll easily make that up in sales.

I can tell you that I incorporated a few of the ideas I brought home into the show I did Saturday. It was only 19 cents shy of an $800 show, and I got 5 bookings. In all fairness, I should let you know that 2 of those I knew about before the show. Still, that means that 3 bookings were the result of the job I did that day. I really believe the new things I did helped.

Over time I will be adding in more of her ideas. I would give more details about what I did, but I think they need to be in the context of her explanation for them to be effective. Not trying to be secretive, just trying not to confuse too many people.
