I am leading part of my cluster meeting this month and we are talking about ways to get bookings. I have a bunch of ideas but am looking for more to share with my cluster. Any ideas you have to do to get bookings let me know.

PS THanks
 
Have you taken the online training and teleclasses about bookings? Those are good places to start.
 
At our last meeting, we did an interactive show. The consultant had a picture of every tool the guest used at the show put in a bowl. After the demo was done, she drew a card and whoever's card she drew, she told them she would buy them what was on the card if they booked a show that night. Well, I tried this at my show Friday night. 3 ladies had used the decorator bottle set and I drew that card. So, guess what, I got 2 bookings.
 
Here are just a few of the documents I have in my files regarding bookings. Of course I am not the originator of any of these, but I have used them all for team trainings! I love the "Am I missing bookings?" as a team training!!
