Unlocking Success: Creative Ways to Boost Bookings for Your New Recruit!

[gilchrist_pchef]

I have a new recruit and her 90 days is over now. She just finished her second show and is at a dead end. She says she has called all of her family and friends and just can't get any shows booked. I have mentioned that there are more places to get bookings...doctors office, school, work, etc. She's not shy and will talk to anyone. I guess what I am asking is, Does anyone have any fun, "out of the box" ideas for me to help motivate her to get bookings?

This was shared at our last cluster meeting.... * When needing to look for those NEW contacts...refer to "F-R-A-N-K" 1. F = FRIENDS
2. R = RELATIVES
3. A = ACQUAINTANCES
4. N = NEIGHBORS
5. K = KIDS...PARENTS OF YOUR KIDS FRIENDS (or kids you know)

I've done the Pamper your business, there a thread on here and it has worked wonders. I had nothing for August and now have 2 catalog shows going at my insurance agents office and my girls dentist office. Plus 1 may book an actual show for September.

Now is the time to search for booths also. I was the same way- slow to start. In fact, I really didn't have ANY cooking shows (just 1 my first week) until around my 9th month! I stayed active with a couple of catalog shows and mostly just individual orders that totaled enough to keep me alive (thankfully, in the day of $200 every 2 months!).But going to a ladies group meeting at my church kick started my nerve (that was my problem) and got me meeting new people, then I did several really good booths from March-May that got shows on my calendar from June-August. And it's slowly increasing from there...very slowly mind you, but I couldn't be happier with how it's progressing! (any faster and I'd die!)

Make sure she is always with a logo item....even if it's the reusuable bag.
Try the idea in the article....where she hands out recipe cards with her contact info.
Challenge her to make 3 contacts with people while she is out and about...a contact meaning they discussed PC....
What about a booking blitz....calling from her list of "100"...and telling everyone she needs a couple of shows....people do like to help
Have her host a kick off show, and challenge her to invite at least 3 people from each category in the "50 guests in 5 min".
