Booths

www.usborneusa.com/training/group

from our upline Nancy Ann's group site for training on many topics including booths

Booth events are fantastic places for leads for home shows, New Consultants, and every other aspect of this business. There are many different booths around. Some examples: holiday and seasonal fairs, home business fairs, conferences and exhibitions, community festivals, church fests, etc. etc. This list goes on!

When I do a booth I take:

  • Books!
  • Cash Box or bank money pouch with about $25 in bills and change
  • Book racks (you can borrow these, or earn them J )
  • 5 Hostess Packets – so you can date the show and hostess coach on the spot
  • 10 Recruit Packets – so you can have these on hand for potential Consultants
  • Tables (if they aren’t provided)
  • 3 part carbonless receipt pads
  • 2 calculators (in case one is on the fritz)
  • table cloth (if needed)
  • drawing slips for leads
  • bag or basket to put lead slips in
  • several pens
  • a canopy if it’s outside

You’ll need to charge sales tax at booths, I usually eat the shipping since they are taking the items cash and carry. If someone wants to order, you’ll charge them $4 special UPS delivery charge and then figure the tax on that plus their retail total.

I split the leads with everyone who works. We each get leads from our time worked and take them home at the end of our time slot.

It’s important to follow up with the leads you get from booths within 48 hours. Leads can go "cold" if you don’t follow up in a timely manner. See Nancy Ann’s pages for "how to make the most of your calls" on what to say when you make those follow up calls. Make notes on your drawing slips with things that you and the person talked about, kids ages, what she was interested in etc. Put your name on the slips of the people you plan to follow up with if there are other Consultants working your booth.
