What is booking: Definition and 200 Discussions

Hi Everyone, I know I havent posted in awhile. I have been a bit frazzled lately. I have had such a hard time with bookings. I did a fair, got the coordinator of the fair to book a show.....Yeah( my first booking out of my group of friends). She set her date. Did my host call, she was not home...

I have a booking slide for sale that I made by laminating pages and securing it with metal rings. Only asking $5 plus shipping. I accept non-cc PayPal, RME, cc PayPal with fees, and postal money orders. Interested? Contact me off-list at [email protected] Thanks! :D

Hi...Not sure if I should post this here, but... I had a show tonight that was booked off of another show. The consultant of the 1st show was my recruiter and she gave me the show when I signed... So the question is, how do I give the past host discount for the monthly special if I didn't do...

I have a question for you seasoned consultants. First, please dont berate me for what I've been doing wrong, but please offer your advice on what I can do RIGHT!! ;) I had a good show in July and received 4 bookings from it. One was for Sept, two for Oct and one for November. We went away in...

How do I give a host the monthly host special for an order she places at the show a friend booked off of her show?

What are you best booking tips? I am doing and express show at my game night party tonight with my friends. I took an 8 month break from PC because of school. I now want to do 2 shows a week. I plan on making a booking slide today. I'd love to get some booking tonight! Any great tips...

Hi all, ISO the file for Booking Blitz Scavenger Hunt. I have seen it before (not sure if on here or not), then when I read it again online. My director's had no idea what I was talking about. I thought it would be a fun way to get me back on track but my team too. I have searched files under...

I'm curious as to what your opinions are on this. I try my darndest not to mix business with friendship, but this is irking me for some reason. More like bumming me out I guess. I have a friend who earlier in the summer said she was going to book a PC show with me for the fall. She ended up...

I use post-it notes for available cooking show dates on a monthly calendar for potential hosts to pick their date. I like this method because it's visually appealing and I don't have my whole business out for everyone to see in a calendar. I have experienced tho that everyone, of course, wants...

I have a show in the morning that was booked from a previous host. I looked to see what the previous host can order as the booking benefit and it says "any ONE item at 60% off". Does this mean ANY item in the book or just the stoneware or metal bakeware which is the host special this month? I...

Can I just say I used the booking slide at my show this past weekend and got 4 shows and 1 catalog! I feel it really works cause you got hrough it with your guests and they really pay attention!

So my husband's friend from work had a jewelry party last night. I never met the woman before... did not know anyone there. I ended up getting too much jewelry :D, having some great wine, great conversation, and .............. TWO BOOKINGS!!! I used the catalog tote as my purse.

I am always amazed at how many people have trouble with bookings. It is the number one training topic that I am asked for. The recent http://www.SpeakersInThePark.comsummer teleseminar series had the most callers on the call that focused on (you guessed it) BOOKINGS! Over 146 guests called in...

I would love to have some feedback on a booking idea! Something that I would like to be cute, catchy and different. I have a Fall craft show coming up and I was hoping to not only gain some recruit leads and get some sales, but get some show dates on my calendar. I have heard so much about...

I have a new recruit who is excited, organized and on the ball! She is going to do great. I'm wondering if I should offer a potential booking as follows. Sally becomes consultant and wanted to recruit my past host Pat. Pat will be booking for Sally but not become a consultant at this time...

okay so i have a cooking show tomorrow night and for my last two shows i have done the booking tree...not so much success with that, so i have been thinking about doing the sealed envelope game. where some envelopes have prizes and some have 'you won a cooking show with me!', but i was wondering...

So I need some clarification or where I can read what the benefits from booking a show from a show are. I'm a little confused, book a show from my show in August and you have the option to buy that host special as well as the next 6 months of worth of host benefits?

Just received my new Booking Slide today and was wondering on the "words" others are using? Thanks...:rolleyes:

I am looking for the Envelope Booking Game that Speaker Karen Phelps talk about. I don't really want to purchase the workbook, was wondering if anyone has it or knows it inside and out! Please help!:chef:

I have a guest who bounced a check. She called immediately when she found out (before I knew) with deep apologies and saying to redeposit it. Thankfully, my credit union is only charging $5 for a fee. She would probably pay if I asked her. However, I really want her to book a show. She was...

Hi Everyone, I goofed and was to close 2 shows by Saturday, but for whatever reason I thought Sunday was Saturday and well......missed the deadline by a day. I'm wondering if anyone earned the Booking & Recruiting Slide and would like to sell it! Please e-mail me at...

I can get out of my box of family members for booking shows and the people for my follow up calls are people that are family members and they don't do parties they just go and it is the same people i cant get out!!! help any ideas!!!

I submitted my 2 shows on August 5th. I called the home office and they said it shipped August 10th. This is the first time since I've been with Pampered Chef that I've qualified for the incentive. Still haven't received it. Am I being impatient or should I call again? jj16:confused:

A director in my cluster just emailed this to us all. So I am not taking credit for it, but I think it is a REALLY cool idea, for every new season that arrives for us!On the cover of the manila business envelopes write or stamp "Top Secret". Inside put your normal host packet contents ALONG...

Could someone please clarify something for me - I have heard different things. Does the future show booked from a current show have to be held within six months from the show date or just before the end of the sixth month in order for the Past Host to order the Host Special?

I have a friend who hosted once for me and I recently spoke w/ her about hosting again. It was when I was having my Power Cooking Workshop where she expressed interest in it but couldn't come. She has a couple friends/neighbors also who wanted to come but weren't available. So I asked her...

I posted this on CS too: especially for Chef Kearns, Natural, Chef Ruthie, Sue Paz - who else walked last summer at NC? I saw the Booking/Recruiting Slide that we can earn with 2 shows submitted by Aug 15th....and WE ARE IN IT!!!! We have to earn this now! My SED has it already and on...

I'm not sure where to post this. I have my first show next week, one of the guest from the show already said she would like to host a party in Sep when the new catalog comes out but she probably won't order anything at the show next week. Will the Host of my show next week still get the host...

People ask me all the time at my cluster meetings what it my secret for booking shows.... and it is the 3-2-1 plan! I have been making alot more phone calls and it has paid off big time. I do have one problem though, I can't seem to contact 3 people a day. I call tons of people but get lots...

Okay so I had a crazy show that took me forever to get all the orders computed. It turned out to be a great show, but I was a little brain dead at the end. When I was wrapping it up, I was talking with a guest who was a maybe for a booking. She decided to book, so I pulled what I thought was...
