What is booking: Definition and 200 Discussions

I'm pumped after attending Director Express today with Amy Neal, our speaker. I have my personal goal of booking 8 shows, as my last holding show for April just rebooked for May. uggh.

Last night I did a show for Jill and got 2 bookings that I'd prefer not to do. I also had someone, Jack, who is extremely interested in recruiting. It would be no problem for Jack to do those two shows. If Jack recruits under me and does those bookings, can Jill still get the past host...

I thought for sure there would be a post about this yet but I haven't seen it. I WON ONE tonight! Not a starbucks fan but luv chocolate! I do have one question though.....do catalog shows count? I looked on the rules page and didn't see anything.

I am listening to my Belinda Elsworth CD's and am wondering what those of you who have a consistent show schedule say or do?

I have two friends that are having shows for me. One show was last night and the other is this coming Saturday. Can I book show #2 off of show #1 if the host of show #2 did not come to show #1? Is that clear as mud, or what!

Tonight I participated in a booking blitz my director organized. I am still a newer consultant so my lead book is pretty empty. I am having a spring open house in a few weeks to grow my business. I made up some fliers I wanted to post around town to advertise. So tonight I decided to use...

It includes info on a booking blitz, Mothers' Day ideas, and HWC (including a new apron) and more! Personally, I think last year's apron is cuter, but free is free! https://pamperedchef.s3.amazonaws.com/us/pdf/mar10_cn.pdf

What are your booking goals? What strategies work best for you? I want to sign up with PC again as soon and I have at least 6 shows lined up. I took a break from PC so that I can find a new consultant to sign up under. I'd love to hear what booking strategies work best for you...

This email I just received made me laugh - I had to share it! (A little background - she booked a November Show, then cancelled it, and wanted to turn it into a December Catalog Show - and then I never heard another peep from her until now!) Hi Becky, I am trying to put a catalog...

Who uses a booking slide? Did you make it yourself or get the one off of a supply order? Anyone know what the one from the supply order form is like? Is it worth the $15?

I have a show tonight... Should I try to get bookings for the rest of this month? Or talk about March and how the March hosts get to use the new catalog at their show? How should I do it? Should I just forget about this month and go fo r March, or should I not mention March and focus on Feb...

I had a host from Saturday that was thinking about rebooking a show this summer. If she does, will she get booking credit for her own show? Will she get a past host discount in addition to her 20% or 25% off? Can she get the host special as a present host and past host?

the 6 month deal where if a party was booked off their party you get the host special(Sorry I still haven't found an easy way to explain this one) How do you enter this into P3? I had a party on my laptop but lost all the info there and am now working on my desktop. I have a guest who wants...

Ok. A good portion of this country is either currently being hit, or about to be hit in the next 1-3 days with a lovely snowstorm. As long as we have power, anyone want to take advantage of it and make some phone calls with me this weekend??My cluster is doing a Booking Blitz that I'm...

I am still new as a consultant (although customer since 2002). I am making a few calls today and want to try to get some bookings for February. Need some help with that, please! I'll be checking regularly for your advice...:D Thank you!

I need to do a booking blitz but work better when I am doing it with someone else. Anyone want to do this with me? Let me know and we can try this tomorrow thru Friday morning. Sarah

My last 3 HO leads who checked "products and hosting" never responded to phone calls or e-mails. I contact them within 24 hours, usually w/in a few hours of getting the notification. Anyone have any insight as to what is going through these people's heads? Anything different I can say in my...

Hi Rae- if you are out there........... or maybe someone else who has it? I think in early fall, you had a pamphlet on here with happy faces saying : to book or not to book.............. I though I saved it somewhere but I must have dreamed it.....does anyone have this? Rae - can you resend...

So what is everyone's plans for the Canadian Booking Blitz? Anyone doing an email? Offering any extra insentives or just following the script? I haven't decided what I'll be doing--- Just wondering what everyone else was planning...

What are all of you saying when you're making your Booking Blitz calls??? What catchy and creative words are you using? any special incentives you are offering? I just had a holiday open house which means that I have already been in touch with everyone for that. Not that I personally talked...

Let's post our results from actual phone calls and e-mails made 16th - 18th. New shows booked, not just Jan. shows, b/c it's all good. I decided that by making a host coaching call to my already booked Jan. hosts that it counts toward the blitz. I really hate making phone calls (that's why...

:grumpy:I think we have all read about the booking blitz to take place on Dec. 16, 17, 18. They said that surprises would be offered and we are to put our shows on the calendar as soon as we book them. Maybe I missed something but - I had such a crap January last year, that I really put tons of...

My hubby was transferred to evenings at the last minute & I couldn't go meet with my new recruit tonight without bring my 2 little ones along. She felt confident that she could close show #3 on her own. We were on the phone discussing it afterward, and she said she did put in the bookings...

I have a very full show schedule for this month - and I have 4 shows/events this week and next week both. 12 shows in all for the month...but the week of Thanksgiving was bare. I was okay with that, because my DB & SIL & kids are coming for T-giving. But today I had someone call and ask if I...

Anyone want to do a booking blitz this weekend? I work harder if I can work as a team and have motivation to make calls. Let me know and we can start this tomorrow. THanks.

For those of you that use the "booking slide", at what point in your Cooking Show do you do it? Beginning, middle or end??? And if you happen to use the "why bag" or play the "stack the host" game, when do you do those? I'm just curious what everyone does at their shows and when? Do you space...

I have a host that wants to book the 19th but wants people to get their items before thanksgiving the 26 is this possible or is it cutting it too close? I was thinking the 17th might be better. TIA jj16

Just wondering if I should try to book more than 1 show for the same month off the same show? I was on the phone last night and not doing so well getting bookings for November or December. Doing great for January. I really want at least 4 shows for November and for December. I'm just...

I had a host back in May...she booked a show for Oct off hers. I did enter it in, so does that mean she can get the past host booking benefit and then the host 60% off items ?? I think so...can anyone verify this? Nancy

Sorry for two postings but here is my other issue :cry: I am having a mini meltdown on bookings. I had a very successful first party. I had sales of 562 at that party was catalog sales of 252 following that which I submitted. Then it all fell apart. My show had no bookings from it. Granted I...
