Booking From Shows
By Jane Deuber
Bookings are the lifeline of your business
because they provide immediate income, future bookings,
and lead to new team members. Following are four simple
ways to increase the number of bookings you receive at every
show.
Ask Every Guest
Without a doubt, the most successful Direct Sellers ASK
EVERY GUEST “when” (not if) they would like
to hold a show/party of their own. The more people you ask,
the better at it you get, and the more bookings you will
receive. In addition, when you ask every guest to hold a
show, you are increasing the chances for the current hostess
to receive more credit.
Get Your Hostess Involved
Your Hostess is the key to receiving numerous bookings from
every show. Ask your hostess to:
1. Have at least one booking before her show
2. Ask friends and relatives who cannot attend to hold a
show of their own
3. Let you know which guests are most likely to book a show
4. Play at least one booking game at every show
5. Re-book your hostess for another show within 90 days.
Control Your Schedule
When scheduling shows, use only the current month calendar.
If you present a future hostess with an entire year, chances
are they will flip ahead to the next month to select their
date.
Highlight in a special color "Key Dates" on which
you would like to book your next shows and offer an extra
incentive for selecting the next open date.
Expand your “income-earning hours” by offering
creative daytime alternatives for shows, for example: Office
Lunch-hour Shows, Five O'clock Happy Hours, Start-the Day
Shows, and Sunday Brunch Shows.
Reduce Cancellations
Do not schedule shows more than 30 days in advance and always
fill your booking schedule for next week before moving to
the following week.
Release the “obligation” when someone has booked
a show only to help the hostess. “Ellen, I know you
booked your show to help our hostess Carol, but I want you
to have this show because you want it. Which items are you
most excited about receiving FREE with your hostess credit.
(Bring them to her.) Great Ellen. Let’s set a goal
for you to receive all these products FREE by having a really
successful show. Can I count on you?”
Secure the booking “Ellen, I am so excited to hold
a show with you. You and your guests will have so much fun!
Because this is my business and I always keep my schedule
full, I would appreciate holding your show on this date
I have reserved for you. I promise I’ll be there come
rain or shine. Can I count on you to do the same? Great!
