[Joann McDonald]

I have been a consultant since October 2010
It is hard to get bookings, I tried two virtual parties one was good the other one was a flop
Any suggestions?
I live in Southern California
Thanks

Welcome Joann. I too do not get that many bookings and when I do many do not follow through. Lots of excuses. I have never done any virtual parties; don't feel ready. I'm sorry I don't have any great advice.

I have a couple of suggestions. First, do all of the online courses, especially those dealing with bookings. Second, make sure you're inviting, not just informing. There's a story about a woman who bakes cookies and goes around telling all of her neighbors about the cookies. No one comes over to try them. She didn't invite them; she just told them about the cookies. Are you telling people about the specials, open dates, etc., or are you asking them if they would like to host a party? I've done successful virtual parties, but live parties are always better for me.
