I missed the beginning of the show you just did with Renee. I haven't thought much about January because I have only 2 shows booked for December. My biggest problem is getting shows booked - I have that phone-a-phobia, fear of hearing "No" too many times. I've been a consultant with Jockey for over a year now, and although I enjoy it, I'm not doing well with it yet. Anyway I liked what you said about not discounting products but adding value somewhere instead. Great idea, we as direct sellers lose out when we give away coupons. I guess my question is, are there certain phrases to use when trying to book shows in January? I've had several people tell me "Not now, but maybe after the holidays." So when should I contact them and firm up a date? Now or later? It seems that sooner would be better, to get the date on the calendar, but then I've had people cancel when the party was farther out, I guess it's easier to cancel when no preparations have begun. So....any advice would be helpful!! Thanks. Hi Mary. I missed the beginning of the show you just did with Renee. I haven’t thought much about January because I have only 2 shows booked for December.
