How To Book Outside The Home (If joining Noah's Ark under me)

Send out post cards to your past hostesses and guests letting them know of new catalogs, hostess specials, or exciting challenges.
Send a card to each guest who doesn't book a party. Dear...Thanks for attending ____ party. If you would like to have a party or just a silent book party, you can earn free merchandise or if you would like to place another order, please feel free to give me a call. Thanks for your order. P.S._____ earned $____ in free merchandise.
Take 7-10 flyers, hole punch the corners, tie them up with curly ribbon and hang them from the bulletin boards or phone poles where others hang their yard signs. Tons of people view those places on an average, nice weekend and some may want or need your product.
Do the same as above, and carry a pack or two in your car with you. On plain white paper make a flyer that says " (company name's here for you take one, they're FREE!" When you go to the mall, place the flyer in you car window, and hang the flyers with ribbon from your antenna or roll the ribbons up into your windows so the flyers hang from the outside of your car. Easily removed when you are driving, take no time at all to place out when you go to the grocery store, the mall, the park or anywhere your car will be parked in a crowded parking lot for more than 5 minutes.
Never leave home without flyers. And never leave a place or area without leaving at least 5 behind. Whether you hand them out personally, or place them in the bathroom, in empty shopping carts at the grocery store (where they pile up for new customers going in), on car windshields or anywhere you can possibly think of. The only way to find new customers is to LOOK. And to look, you need to be OUTSIDE your home!
Place your business card in give away boxes. You never know who is going to look at them and need or want what you have to offer.
Show your Business! Wear a button or logo item where ever you go. Great conversational piece.
Be a Sponsor in a contest. Remember to always include a catalog, ordering information, booking information and sponsoring information. Again you never know who might need or want what you have to offer.
The telephone is your best friend, use it. Make at least 5 calls per day for bookings and recruits. Do this faithfully and assure yourself a full date book.
A walk-in or open house. To acquaint neighbors and your community with you product, send invitations to friends, neighbors and acquaintances. Give brochures to the newspaper person, put notices up in supermarkets. Advertise that there will be refreshments and a chance to see your product.
Mystery Hostess Party. The consultant has a party in her home and awards the hostess credits to the guests. The credits can be divided up or given in different ways. For instance, name goes in for each $25 bought.
Trade shows, fairs, expos, events. Check on local activities and reserve well in advance. Consult your up-line on methods and set ups.
Advertising. Newspapers and penny-savers.
Brochures. Distribute your catalog or mini brochure at dentist, doctors, or anywhere you do business.
Business referrals. Real estate office, model homes, flower shops. Any business exchange advertising and verbal referrals.
Offer the hostess an additional gift when she re-books herself with-in 3 months. You may want to offer her an extra incentive for holding 3 shows within a year.
Offer a gift with purchase to encourage orders.
Offer a free product of their choice to people who take the brochure home, share it with friends and family and get 5 additional orders resulting in a certain amount of dollars.
