More Booking Ideas! These are Great!

*Suggestions for Booking*

1. The telephone is your best friend, use it. Make at least 5 calls per day
for bookings and recruits. Do this faithfully and assure yourself a full
date book.

2. A walk-in or open house. To acquaint neighbors and your community with
you product, send invitations to friends, neighbors and acquaintances. Give
brochures to the newspaper person, put notices up in supermarkets. Advertise
that there will be refreshments and a chance to see your product.

3. Mystery Hostess Party. The consultant has a party in her home and awards
the hostess credits to the guests. The credits can be divided up or given in
different ways. For instance, name goes in for each $25 bought.

4. Trade shows, fairs, expos, events. Check on local activities and reserve
well in advance. Consult your up-line on methods and set ups.

5. Advertising. Newspapers and penny-savers.

6. Brochures. Distribute your catalog or mini brochure at dentist, doctors,
or anywhere you do business.

7. Business referrals. Real estate office, model homes, flower shops. Any
business exchange advertising and verbal referrals.

8. Bridal registry/bridal showers. For the bride where the guests may
purchase gifts.

9. Show on the go/Booking in a basket. Excellent for the office. Place
several small items in a basket and one larger one. When an order of $30 is
placed, the customer can select a small gift. When all the gifts are gone,
the hostess gets to open the bigger gift. (suggest 10 gifts)

10. Delivery Day Special. Offer the hostess, at the time of delivery, a
special gift from you when she picks up a booking or two as she delivers her
guests items.

11. Offer the hostess an additional gift when she re-books herself with-in 3
months. You may want to offer her an extra incentive for holding 3 shows
within a year.

12. Offer a gift with purchase to encourage orders.

13. Offer a free product of their choice to people who take the brochure
home, share it with friends and family and get 5 additional orders resulting
in a certain amount of dollars.



*After The Show Is Booked*

1. Send a thank you note thanking the hostess for the party/show/class with
the following reminder--Date and Time, and then this note: " I look forward
to being your consultant and your partner to help you obtain all the Free
items you want! I work strictly by appointment only and will be there on
________so if for any reason you are unable to hold your appointment please
notify me 48 hours in advance so we can reschedule your appointment and I
can place another hostess in you slot who may be waiting for and opening. I
really appreciate your hosting the _________ (show, class, etc) and look
forward to working with you. I know it will be a great success. I will call
you in a couple of days to see how many guests will be attending your
_________."

2. Call in a couple of days and check to see how many guests are coming. Get
their phone numbers if can and let her know you will call the guests to
introduce yourself (its actually to see if she has called them and to let
them know there is a party in case she hasn't).

3. Call her guests if she gives you the names and numbers and get them
excited about the party.

4.About 2 days before the party call her again to see if she needs help with
anything, to check about set up, and to see how many outside orders she may
have.....(these are reasons you give her and they are reasons you do call
also.. but the main reason...to make sure she doesn't forget and if she does
decide to cancel...she may have second thoughts as she knows you are serious
and 2 she knows you won't reschedule her and 3 you called her guests
already.
