What is a Meme? Understanding the Viral Online Phenomenon

I keep seeing people talk about them, but what is it?

The booking blitz I did was from my up-line. We talked on a conference type phone call and shared information on how to increase bookings. Then we get a certain amount of time to try to get a live person on the phone, referrals, sell products, catalog show, cooking show/fundraiser, or potential recruit. Each of these get a point system and after 45 minutes the points are calculated, and my up-line gave away magnets and a business card holder. At the end we shared our thoughts and any ideas we may have gotten while talking to potential bookings or recruits.

Cool, I'll have to check with my director and see if this is something she ever does. Might be the motivation that I need!

How did you do? We did this at our last cluster meeting and everyone left with at least 2 bookings for just a 20 minutes session. I think it really boost morral. Tonight and tomorrow night I'm doing my own booking blitz. A goal for myself: I need 8 bookings more for January. I can do it!

I have worked two different Booking Blitz's with good results. The first one I got 44 points, and the second one I got 29 points. Most of what I did was call some of the people who were somewhat hesitant, and told them about the great opportunity in January and I just wanted to call a few friends first. I did well with this. I think doing your own booking blitz is a great idea.

I had so much luck with the booking blitz my up-line held.. that I occasionally call doing my own booking blitz. I tell the ones I call that my team is holding a contest and we are to book as many cooking parties and/or cat parties and we can.. (I don't tell them I am the only one on my team lol) And the one who books the most wins.. More will help knowing this. And I do win!!!

I love your idea Ginger! I was the only one on my team "playing" tonight too. I booked one and will follow up with the others who I had to leave a message for. I need 5 to commit to a date (they know they want Jan.) and I need to get 5 more bookings on top of them.
