What is booking: Definition and 200 Discussions

Let's see if I can figure out how to attach the pic, lol. I just made these super cute show booking postcards through Vistaprint (minus the blacked out phone number, obviously!), I will pop these in the mail as soon as my host books their show. I thought the dots were cute, they remind me of...

OKay so I am still in my first 30 days of PC! and I have my first cooking show coming up. I was trying to think of an idea of how to get more bookings from my first few shows. I think I remember seeing something on here about a booking tree. Where you would put the dates you are available and...

Does anyone have anything like this? My cluster is having one tonight and its my first one so I want to be super organized and win!

Did anyone get any good booking tips from conference we can pass on to our teams? Anything new or different out there?

My problem is, I was contacted about 3 weeks ago by a girl wanting to throw her friends a bridal shower. She gave me the date and time on my voicemail but when I called her back, she was on vacation and we could not talk. I have called her twice since then and left a message that I need to...

I had a great show tonight. My host had 16 guests...1 outside order...and I got 1 booking for September. She was at 701.00 when I left and already calling her guest who didn't show up and getting ready to get more outside orders from people she knew weren't coming. I had her call everyone...

I recently had a show where I got about 4 bookings. Two of the bookings are a niece and aunt- the niece booked a cooking show, aunt booked a catalog show. I just spoke with the niece today, and she said her aunt is going to wait to do her catalog show. I have a feeling the aunt will probably...

I'm so Excited!!! I bit the bullet and did some CC and got one booking. I was really nervous about calling people. I asked how there products were working out for them and if they were getting my monthly new letters with recipes and host specials. I then would mention the the great July special...

I had a guest at a show who wants to host, but didn't place an order. How do I enter this so that the host gets credit???

My June host really wants both the mandoline and the stainless mixing bowls.... she already has a booking for July so she'll be able to get one of them at 60% off. Which should I direct her to buy now and which should she 'wait' for until next month as part of the past host special? I...

I had a show yesterday with 2 bookings. The host of yesterday's show called today and left a message that she might like to book again when we have stoneware as a hostess benefit. My question is if I go ahead and book a show for her under her show from yesterday and let's say September is 1...

I have customers who want to call me to book a show-either I met them at a show and they did not have their calendar with them and/or want to pencil in a date, or I met them earlier in the year and they want me to call them in June (or a specific month or time) to set a date for their show. I'm...

My Jafra consultant just sent this offer, which is available only through her. It caught my attention... Basically, if I hold 3 shows within one year of the date of my first show (which for me is June 27) (3 shows total in one year), at the 3rd show, I get double product credits. Now...

cant get a hold of this one gal to book her show and she also wanted to become aconsultant and register but her #is disconected? what do i do?

I paid a lot of money for a Bridal Expo and I am finally getting around to sending out contact letters. I am new to this site. How do a find a template letter to send to future brides to try to get Brodal Shower bookings? Help?

National Conference. I was just wondering what you felt was the best piece of advice you've gotten. Thank you. I am having a hard time getting bookings. SOS:blushing:

I have been out of the PC loop for a while and thinking about starting back up. What is the booking slide? I have seen pics and posts but how does it actually work? How is it "assembled"?? I'm confused :confused: Thanks a bunch in advance!

I think I have this in the right place for this question. Okay I had a booth 2 weeks ago --got some really great contacts. Was sick and just now getting around to doing my drawing for a free cooking show. So I called the one that was picked out of the bowl (yes I was honest with it) called...

sorry gotta vent.... got a hotel room through travelocity for my daughters graduation from college. found out I had the wrong day booked... changed the day and was bill for the original day along with the correct day... Called to find out how to get my money back and was told it was their...

Let me just tell you....I was having the hardest time booking shows AT my Cooking Shows. I'll set the stage... Last show- 7 guests, NO bookings Show before that- 20 guests, 1 booking The list goes on but I won't bore you...you get the picture. Well, I did two things-- 1) Watched some...

When you are booking a customer's cooking show, how do you do manage your actual calendar? What I mean is, if they say "I want XX month", but you don't remember all the dates you have open in the month (I'm not that a walking calendar!)- since you know that you have nearly EVERY date open....so...

Sally has a show in December. One of her guests that booked to have a show, isn't able to keep her booking, but another guest at Sally's party wants to have a show... Can Sally get the booking benefit still, since she technically had 2 bookings through her show, and so far, only 1 of them...

I have some cards for referrals. I'm wondering what, if anything, you give for a referral?? Booking and Recruiting.

How do you handle the maybe i'll host in the future? I've been calling once and sending them the monthly emails in the hope of getting someone to commit. I had one person say defintely in june so I've called her 2 times and then emailed her two times as well. We met in Feb so that isnt' too...

Hello all! I'm new here so this is kinda an intro as well as a question. My name is Nicole and I'm a new consultant (kinda) in Wichita, KS. I originally started PC in Feb. 2003, and worked my business consistently, even promoting to Director, until I went through my divorce in 2007. Because...

Hello everyone! I am doing a booking blitz to fill my calendar before I go in for surgery May 20th. I was wondering if anyone knew what the host specials were for July yet? And if there is a flyer somewhere out there for it. I will have nothing to do but Pampered Chef and more Pampered chef for...

So I think it's been mentioned on here before but I can't find what I'm looking for. I know that some of my clustermates have done something similar as well. Basically they used something that was closed that had either book a show, free shipping, etc. More book a show is the plan. I found these...

I just got home from a really good show. You know when you're just "in the zone?" Everyone was laughing and having a really great time. It was a pretty small show (5 guests- $300 in orders) but ALL BUT ONE OF THEM booked a show!! I couldn't believe it! Even my hostess wanted to have another...

Get on the phone ladies!!!!! I just booked a May show with a total stranger! She was a HO sales lead who happened to leave her info for me when she ordered, so I called and now she is a hostess! Wahoo!!!!

What do you all think of this? I want something I can send to the host before her show to remind her of the Booking Benefit. I don't want to make it month-specific because I'm going to order from VistaPrint. If I try to give them the month-specific DYLAB flyer, it won't happen. I need...
