I Can't get booking??
Things to DO:
- Highlight hostess specials at parties to let the guest see what they are missing
- Offer your own inscentive to anyone who books on the night of show
- Keep your calendar near by, look at dates as soon as you can
- Ask each guest as they come up if they enjoyed themselves, and then ask them if they are interested in hosting a show. (sometimes it just takes a little nudge)
- Get as much information on guest as they will share, you must be able to contact them right away. ( the longer you wait the more the "high" goes away)
Things NOT to do:
- Never expect a guest to call you. If you say "call me"...they won't!
- Never leave more than one message on the phone. Keep calling until you get them, but you don't want to leave 10 messages and bug the guest.
- If a husband or child picks up and they are not there, just leave your NAME ONLY and say you are with Thirty-One Gifts and you will call them back. Never leave the "ball" in their court.
- Don't expect replies by e-mail. Unless you already have a date set, it is rare to get much response from e-mails. People still like to talk on the phone.
- If you have to struggle and chase a "lead" just let it go, that is not the way you want to start off with a hostess. Sometimes just backing off a couple months and then calling them fresh will do the best thing for them, and will result in a booking!
