Best Booking Tip?

What is your best booking tip to share?

Mine is simple: Be sure to highlight theme shows and ASK EVERYONE.

I never look at the door prize slips until I get home and a surprizing percentage of those who book at the show said no about booking on the slip!

Mine is if your calendar isn't full- get on the phone! Everytime I make calls I make $$. From bookings to orders to future bookings and orders. I get everything in order before I start so I can make alot of calls one right after the next. They start out as a customer care call and then I segway to bookings. We get alot of answering machines now a days. I leave a message saying I'm sorry I missed them and I'll keep trying til we connect or they can call me back. Some have certain days of the week or schedules for getting on the phone- I just do it when I can.
