Unlocking the Power of Psychology: Book Your Session on the 12th or 26th!

[PCMelissa]

...DOES work. Someone on here said to pick the date you WANT to book and suggest that date last. I wanted to book the earlier date so I said, I have the 26th or the 12th open, which works best for you. Maybe it was coincidence, but she picked the 12th!:sing:

It's great to learn these things early on! The better you control your calendar the better your calendar will be!

Melissa, I've shared this tip before but before I started doing the post-it note system, my calendar was awful. I take the first two weeks of each month (usually a couple months out) and put pink post-it notes on the days I want shows. When they book, I put their name in the post-it note. When I get their guest list, it changes to a green post-it note as a solid date. As the month goes along, I move the post-its as needed. This helped me to book the first two weeks when I seemed to always have the problem of booking the last two weeks. It also helps that I ask which day of the week works best for them. When they give me an answer I can easily see which days are available.

This works with my son too. If he is having to choose between something 9 times out of 10 he will choose the last thing I name. Works good on my husband too but I think he knows what I am doing, haha!

I do that too!

I say something like...hmmm, you need a Saturday in March. I have the 15th available, OH! and I have the 8th available! Will that one work for you?

99% of the time (unless they truely have a problem with that date) they pick the second one.

Plus, I have now started telling people that I schedule the first couple weeks of my month before I "open up" any dates at the end of the month. Most are totally OK with picking an earlier date cuz I have said that's what I do!

This works with kids too... when cleaning out DD's room I'd ask "shall we keep it... or give it away?" and she'd mostly say give it away if done in that order... as soon as I reversed things she'd be adamant about keeping it. LOL... I need to remember to do that with bookings now.
