Use a Booking Tree to Double Your Bookings From Parties!

What if you had so many bookings from your live parties that you had to give them away to your downline? Can you imagine getting three to four bookings at every party you do? What would that mean for your paycheck each week? Using a visual, intentional tool to share your available dates at your parties is the quickest way to accomplish higher bookings.

First of all, if you know when you’re working, it not only supports the balance in your life, it also can increase your bookings, because you are intentional about offering those dates to your guests. Secondly, finding a way to make offering your available dates even more appealing by using some sort of instant reward (or booking gift) can also sway someone from a maybe to a yes.

Enter the Booking Tree. This is a simple, incredibly effective way to share your party dates. It’s a photo stand (check out the photo of ours above) with five slots. You simply fill out your party date cards (a simple 3×5 card with a space for the date of the party and the host’s name, address, phone number and e-mail address) and attach them to the booking tree.

At the end of your booking commercial, simply hold up the booking tree. (Here’s the fun part). In the corner of each card, punch a hole and attach a small gift to that hole (the dollar store is a great outlet for this, or you can use small items from your own line. Be sure the gift doesn’t cost you more than a few dollars). Tell your guests that these are the dates you’re available over the next several weeks, and that once they choose the date they want, the gift attached to that card is theirs to keep.

Then simply ask them to fill out their information on the card and give you 5 minutes before they leave so you can get them set up. It’s so simple that you’ll find your parties seem to book themselves!  Someone will take a card and bring it to you all filled out. At that point they’re ready to be set up for host coaching.

You can also use a gift bag for larger items that can’t clip to the cards and they can choose a gift when they bring you the card. The idea is to offer them an instant gift for choosing one of your “bonus” dates.

This concept is the single most effective way my clients have found to increase their bookings. And it’s very easy to teach a new representative to use it as well, so they begin getting bookings right away (and you know what they say – no one ever quits with bookings on their calendar).
