I Can't Seem to Get Any Bookings or Sales

[pattikake45]

I have been doing this since Novemeber 2013. I usually get at least 2 shows a month and last month I only got one and this month (July) NONE! I have people that ask for the catalogs and want to book and I never hear anything back and they totally ingnore my return calls or contact. I am starting to get ansy and feel like tossing in the towel. Anyone have any thoughts or ideas?

Dont toss in the towel with one or two bad months. Summer months are generally hard to get bookings, especially if you dont already have a full calendar to work with. i found that weekend shows just didnt work because people are gone alot or do things on summer weekends, so maybe see if folks have weeknights instead. people are on vacations this time of year and generally out more. If summer bookings arent working, ask about fall dates. Encourage the catalog shows....things people can take with them when they are family get togethers or the pool, etc. offer summer themes....grilling show, cold stone show (search the files here on CS for these and "summer", I bet you find ideas).

I focus a lot more on online and catalog shows in the summer also. Plus it might be a great time to do a Mystery Host party at your home or a Christmas in July party.

I know how you feel!@ It has been the same for me. My area is not the best maybe but still it is too quiet! I too would love some ideas...:cry:

 

[DebPC]

There are tons of great ideas in our Booking, Increasing Sales, Theme Show, and Booth forums. Also search thru the files section.

DebPC is right. Check out the files. Talk with your director and/or upline. Make those calls. Keep asking. We all go through slumps.

Consider checking out the Freezer Meal Workshops that HO has just posted online for us. This is a kind of show that some people who might never want to host a regular PC show would be interested in. You could offer it as a type of show they can host or you can be the host yourself. The documentation HO has provided is very thorough -- all the work is done for you.Here's the link:http://www.pamperedchef.com/cc/freezer-meal-workshopsYou'll need to be logged in as a consultant to see it.Shari in TX

Or even the Station Shows if a host doesnt want the bigger freezer show.
