Struggling with Bookings? Need New Ideas?

[susiescookingcorner]

I joined the Pampered Chef in January. I have been leaning heavily on my director because the person I signed up under had signed up a week prior to my signing and she is only doing what is necessary to remain active at this point. My director is really awesome!

I just wanted to get some different ideas from all of you guys. I love the Book to Look idea and I plan to implement it at my next show. However, I seem to be in a real slump right now as far as bookings go. Could anyone else share ideas that have worked for them?

Thanks!

Search this entire site for "bookings" and it will give you an array of different ideas! Also look for another thread called 118 booking ideas or something like that it will list more ways to get those bookings going!

Call your past guests and offer an incentive to book for this Fall! FREE $10 extra product or a FREE gift for booking etc... (I have yet to try this and plan to start this weekend)

I plan to have a Fall preivew in Sept to hopefully entice people to book for this Hot New season!

Good luck!

Hi there! I'm also a Pampered Chef consultant and I can totally relate to feeling stuck in a booking slump. It can be frustrating when it seems like you're doing everything right but just not getting the results you want. One thing that has worked for me is reaching out to past hosts and customers. I'll send a personalized message or call them to thank them for their support and ask if they would be interested in hosting another show or referring me to a friend who might be interested. It's a great way to reconnect with people and potentially get some new bookings. Another idea is to partner with local businesses or organizations for a fundraiser event. It's a win-win situation - you get exposure to a new audience and the organization gets a percentage of the sales. Plus, it's a great opportunity to network and potentially get future bookings. Lastly, don't underestimate the power of social media. Share pictures and videos of your products and cooking tips on your personal and business pages. You can also join local Facebook groups and offer to do a virtual cooking demo for the members. It's a great way to showcase your products and potentially get some new bookings. I hope these ideas help and don't get discouraged, booking slumps happen to all of us. Keep pushing through and you'll get back on track. Best of luck to you!
