BOOKINGS ARE THEof your business. If you’re out of bookings you’re out of business.
eas, and you will NEVER be out
Booking is an attitude. If you think you can – you can. If you think you can’t – your
right!
BOOKING IDEAS…………………………… they’re everywhere………………
1. Friends, relatives, neighbors, people you work with, people you once
worked with, former classmates, people from your husband’s job or
organizations, recreation contacts – this is a way to get started. Use
Booking Dialogue “How to Book Your 1st Eight Classes.”
2. Promotion – Dialogue “How to Book Your 1st Eight Classes.” Change to say
you are getting a promotion to Star Consultant, Star Recruiter, Team Leader,
etc. Use with family, friends, former hostess, etc.

women love to be a model.

set.

wanted.
