BOOKING TIPS
When it seems like nothing else is working....

PASS THE CALENDAR
BRIBE THEM
IT'S A CONTEST
PASS AROUND THE THEMES BOOK

PASS THE CALENDAR

Take a calendar and mark through the days you are
booked or don't want to work.
On each open day you are looking for a booking,
write in [or make your own calendar, complete with pics of products]
what they get for booking a show on that day.

Now pass the calendar around and tell everyone that you are
going to let them choose what they want to get as their
Hostess Appreciation Gift, just for setting a date to have a show.
Have the guest write in their name on the date they choose.

For instance on Tuesday, Dec. 5th, a FREE dozen votives!
Wednesday, Dec. 6th,  2 dozen tealights FREE!
Thursday, Dec. 7th, Your choice of any
Indulgences Filled Glass Column for FREE!
And so on. Pick your own gifts to give, according
to how much you want to spend.

Use the personal bonus on their show form to order the item
and it will be delivered with their show order!
 

BRIBE THEM!

If you just can't seem to get any bookings, try bribing them.
Ask them what it would take to get them to book a show
and then start negotiating.
Sometimes they'll say things like..."clean my house
and then I'll have everyone over."
You can then always say "I'll make it easy for you.
You can have the show at my house!"
"You bring the refreshments and I'll do the rest!"
I don't know about you - but I wouldn't mind having
all the shows at my own home.
No case to tote, and you can set out every PL item you own!
 

IT'S A CONTEST!

This is another idea for when you're making those 2+2 calls.
Tell them you are having a Hostess Contest and you
wanted to give them a chance
to win, so you're calling to tell them all about it.
Here's the Contest:
For the month of _______, the Hostess with the highest sales
will receive (whatever you choose for the prize).
This is where Business Boosters can really be helpful!

or

For the month of _______,  the Hostess who has the
most buying guests at their party wins _______!
 

PASS AROUND YOUR THEMES BOOK!

Let them go through the Themes book and see
all the fun shows they could have!
There are some great Theme Book ideas on BoB.
