What is the Impact of the Bookings Slide on The Pampered Chef® Show Bookings?

[chefann]

I added one that says: Easy Party Prep! I mail your invitations and pick up recipe ingredients!And I know someone else who added a Theme Shows slide. I think I'm going to add that one this week.

 

[mamadugan]

can we have a copy of you themes show slide????????
I wanna see it!! GREAT IDEAS!! Thanks for sharing!@

 

[chefann]

It was just another sheet that said Theme Shows. It's there to introduce the idea, so that people ask you about it.

Here's a Word version. It uses the Optima font, so you may need to find it on the web if you don't have it on your computer. (It's a Mac font, so Mac users should have no problem.)

Chefann -

Thank you so much for posting the Word version. I was trying to re-type this and couldn't get it right. You saved me lots of time. A quick question - on the Business Opportunity page, are you inserting a kit credit coupon where the words are typed in parenthesis? I suppose I can find a sample kit credit in the files here.

I had mine laminated today at Office Max, and with the perks card, it was only $9.00

There's one on CC. I'm going to tape one to the spot, and hand it to the host.

I found one - thanks. I didn't think about taping it to the sheet - I copied it and placed it in the document. I printed off the coupons and will have them ready at my show.

Thanks for your help!!

o.k. I have tried this at my last 3 shows and people just roll their eyes. ROLL YOUR EYES??? People don't you u nderstand what you are getting??? This is so frustrating. I am tyring to make this all sound so appealing and nothing....nada.....i don't knkow how much more differently I can present this. It is dazzling and eye catching!! PEOPLE..PEOPLE!! So frustrating

 

[Hathery]

I just made one and I can't wait to use it. I really need the visual to help keep me on track, otherwise I forget to explain the host benefits! I always *assume* people know, but trust me...they don't!

 

[mrssyvo]

I used it last night- got 3 bookings and a vendor booth at a school.

 

[Kelly8]

I printed mine on brightly colored cardstock and put into page protectors and held together with rings. Haven't had a chance to use it yet, but I will tomorrow and I'm very excited about it!

I had my laminated last week and tried to tape it together and it just didn't work that well. Any advice from those that did this with the tape on how to do it so it will work effectively? thanks

 

[AACHEF]

To get them to tape together. Lay them all on the floor in the order that you want them. I used clear packing tape, but I left a very little gap in between each page maybe less then a 1/4 of a inch. This will help them fold together nicely. Once I did one side, I flip them over and did the other side. This make it very durable!!

Hope this helps!

 

[lvanderw]

Thanks - I will try putting them closer together - I had them about an inch apart!

 

[PChefPEI]

Thanks for this thread, and thanks Ann for the Word version (because being in Canada, I have to change the $$...of course!). I'll need to study this thread a little more. I was actually thinking of putting something like this together a year or so ago, as a consultant for PH did something similar to show their host benefits.

I had a difficult time getting a visual on this until I saw it in CN. I had 2 shows this week...Mon/Tues and did not have time to get to/go thru Office Depot so I got clear sheet covers and put all the "posters" in there. Then I did tape them front and back to each other. Now, they won't really make the accordian, but they make a nice scroll and rolling out that scroll onto the floor makes a great dramatic "flop" and I did get the vocal response I was hoping to get. Not only that, on Monday I got 1 booking out of 3 (there were 6 there but the other 3 just hosted this fall). On Tuesday night I had 6 more...2 of them hosts since summer...so 3 of the 6 booked. I think it's a great tool and I was happy to have this to "zip" up my show after so many of them have been seeing me alot the past 6 months. I did put a copy of the kit credit on my one sheet after cutting it out and I am 99% sure my Tuesday host is gonna soon be my recruit! Thanks for this thread and all of the info....I'm a believer and I even have my director interested in this concept after telling her about it...tu....tu....tu!

 

[Chefstover2]

I e-mailed the PDF over to OfficeMax to print and laminate...picked 'em up today and taped them together for my show tonight...and noticed the page breaks are screwy!!! :grumpy: Now I have to re-print some of the pages and have them laminated and replace. Anyone else have this problem?

I'm gonna use it anyway at my show and see what happens...pampered but not perfect right?

 

[mrssyvo]

5 more bookings at tonight's show using the slide. I'm sold- I think it was th WOW factor!!!

 

[chefann]

I used it tonight, too. There were only 6 at the show, and one was the past host. But I got a January booking with it.

 

[PamperedSheep]

I am sold too. Got three bookings at last show.

 

[crystalscookingnow]

Yep - I'm hooked as well. Got three bookings & a recruit lead on Friday night. Plus, my sales were at $750 when I left - we closed at $1,050!! YAY!!

The Pdf was screwy - ChefAnn converted it to Word for us - it's here on this thread - I used that one!

 

[ChefBeckyD]

Oh - and I'm hooked too!

All of my January Bookings have come since I started using the Slide!:thumbup:

 

[stefani2]

What do people say to explain the Host Benefits - I explain them - but maybe not with enough enthusiasm ????

 

[AACHEF]

Hello everyone,

Need your help!!

If you are doing the booking slide at your shows now, Susie Lite at Pampered Chef would love to hear how it's doing for you? Please email her if you have seen an increase in bookings, what customers think and anything else that it has done for your business. Put booking slide in the remarks!

 

[christinaspc]

I was able to use it for the 1st time the other night at my show and I got a recruit lead and 3 bookings and there was only 5 guests there we are at 425.00 and she has 4 outside orders to collect. My hubby drove me cause the weather bad and he was able to sit back and watch everyones reactions when I would reveal another slide and he said here is a thought instead of you holding it up and talking about it why don't you have the hostess that night hold it and you talk about it cause the hostess I had friday night was going crazy over everything she was going to get so I shared the idea with my director and she thought that was a great idea. I am hooked on this as well and i love how helps me talk about everything Cause I used to rush through it and forget things.

 

[nldavis321]

I am making mine tomorrow!!!! YEAH!

 

[scottcooks]

here's one I received and doctored-up a little. Use if you like...Rather than laminate, I taped sheet protectors together - leaving the 3-ring holes on every other one, so it can go in a notebook easily.

 

[babywings76]

My director just showed us hers at our Christmas party. It looks awesome. She printed it out each page on different bright colored cardstock. It's working well for her. I was super impressed when she showed us, I really need to get this made.
