Ok, I have a pretty full calendar for June, I can't deny it. I have a personal goal for 3 more bookings and our company is giving away catalogs for getting 4 bookings between now and June 1. But I'm at a loss. I've called several people over the past few weeks and already got bookings this past weekend. But now I really want those free catalogs and I'm not sure where to go. My next party is June 5 which is too late. I can only think of about 2 people to call and they are "luke warm" leads. Any thoughts? I'm usually good at this, but not this time!

Don't just call people who "might" be interested in booking a party, but call any of your past customers who you haven't called already, and ask them if they anyone who might be interested. Perhaps offer that person a gift for the referal and a gift for their friend who books and holds the party.

Create your own special to get those bookings and then call everyone on
your customer list offering them the special to book for that specific
time only! It is an extra exclusive gift from you</span>
to them for booking during that time. It does not have to be
anything super expensive just a little extra something.
You may start the call off saying "Would you like to hear about my
special offers for June?" If they are not interested you can ask
"who do you know that would be interested in hearing about my specials?
me?" Ask </span>for the referral from those that already know you and your product.
Then when you call that referral (only ask for a referral if you will
call them) greet them and let them know who referred them. You
can then tell them that person thought they would enjoy your product
and the special you have to offer them. "Would you be interested
in hearing about my extra special offer for June?"
The key here is you are not asking them up front to book, you are
gaining their interest by hearing about your special offer.
Good Luck! Let us know how it goes.
