[cherie0118]

Trying to get bookings for September, with caller ID I'm convinced people just don't answer their phones if they don't know the number!! Any ideas? I keep repeating it's a great month with the host special & the catalogs being new, so far no responses How many times do you leave messages for a person that has expressed an interest? Been selling for about a year now, and this is my 1st real dry spell!! :chef:

The best way to get bookings for September is to contact people who have expressed an interest in your products previously. Reach out to past customers, and follow up with potential customers who have requested information or expressed interest in the past. When leaving a message, be sure to mention what you are offering and why it's a great deal. If you continue to not receive responses, consider trying different methods of communication such as email or social media. You might also want to consider offering extra incentives such as discounts or free gifts to encourage people to book a party.
