How to get more party bookings

We've been asked once or Twice: "What is the best way to get Party Bookings"

Well, there is no short answer to that; however, I'd like to give you a quick tip that can get you Out THERE more!
Go out and get to a Networking Meeting. Find out if there is a "ladies luncheon" this week, perhaps through your local chamber of commerce. Get yourself a ticket and make the "intention" of meeting someone who YOU connect with!

Charlotte and I both love doing this! We love to meet new people! We both make it a point that if we Connect with someone, we go out for lunch....meet for coffee. Develop a Friendship with someone NEW!

The point here is not to "Bug them about your business"; in fact, I recommend that you don't even bring up your business....."they will ASK YOU!" At that point, tell them what you do....what YOU Love.

Again, and this is important.....do NOT tell them about your business! Just enjoy your lunch or coffee!!!

Trust me, I've had more business over the years just getting to know people in this way. Your new friend may or may not have a show with you, however they will feel more comfortable knowing that you are truly trying to make a personal connection and not a sales pitch!

What will happen is this:

* The next time you have an open house...your new friend will be more than happy to show up.
* When someone in your "new friends" circle of influence has a need...your new friend will "highly recommend" YOU as the great and wonderful person you are!

I've made so many wonderful connections and friendships (and yup extra money too) just by connecting at least once a week with someone new!

Good luck!

& Let us know how this works for YOU!
