[krzymomof4]

Anyone else already having people want to book in the summer? I have some, but won't pencil in a date because they don't know the specials yet!!!

I had one for the end of June, but she just booked May 2.

I usually don't book that far in advance. My family events come first...

Yup! I have a friend who wants to do a picnic party in July. We haven't set a date but she's just looking ahead.

I have 2 for June already. These ladies want back deck parties. We're going to Utah, but not sure when, so I'm waiting to find that out, then we'll book the dates!

I did a catalog show with a woman this month, and when I closed out her show she said she wanted to do a show in May or June. We pulled our our calendars immediately, and based on both of our availability, she's scheduled for 6/29. She was a very motivated Catalog show host, so I know she'll hold.

I tell them it doesn't matter what the special is, the host benefits are what makes having a show.

If there is something she wants I will give her 60% off instead of the host special, if it's not something horking expensive like cookware.

A host in Jan was happy with the Easy Accent Decorator at 60% off since she didn't reach the $500. I have a customer for life with her, as long as I want to do PC. And it was really only 40% out of pocket for me ($10), since she was getting 20% off her host order, anyway.

i have many many people who are deferring to summer when i ask them to book. i tell them i will call them in april for june. if i even get 50% of them to book and hold the show, i will be fully loaded for the month
