Which Leads Should You Prioritize: Cooking Show or Bridal Fair?

[Kathytnt]

I don't know that this has been addressed before but I want to put it out there but this is a question about leads. When calling people to book shows you would always book with cooking show leads first over bridal or craft fair leads wouldn't you. So you hosts can get their host benefits at their friends shows.

I have lots of people to follow up with from diffferent places so I am trying to get organized about where to start first.

I would think recruit leads first
Then cooking show leads

What is your priority?

First priority would be leads from open shows so the host can get credit. After that look at all other leads and sort by the date the lead came in. If you are way behind like I am, then start with most recent first. If they said "yes" call them first, then "maybe" then "no".

A lot of my no's say yes - sometimes that meant "later".

You definately want to book from your show's first. You want your host to be able to benefit from the future bookings.

Having worked numerous booths, I definately would go with the all of the yeses, regardless of where they came from, then the maybe and then if you want to the no's.

Pretty soon, you will be able to say, "If you are interested in hosting your own show, my first date available is in August." When that happens watch your bookings soar! People want what they can't have.
