Hi Kelley!
I have felt just like you as I have only a few bookings at this time.  I'm happy you have come to your friends for help as we all love you, I do!!!  If I were you, this is what I would do.

HANG UP YOUR PHONE love, Your WHINING!!!!  You need to look in a mirror and watch yourself talk about [company]!  In the mirror you will find a lovely lady that is a little low on self esteem!  It's those nasty January blues that rob us of our joy and excitement, and we all get them!  You are not alone, the other 500 readers like you just didn't want to post!  LOL

When you start to hear  ("I'm too busy", "No, not until the summer", YADA YADA YADA)  it means that the person on the other end of the phone has picked up on your down mood and knows your an easy brush off! Look in the mirror and think of why you joined [company]!  Have your favorite candle holder and favorite sent close by.  Look at the candle holder and think about all that you like about it. HAPPY THOUGHTS!

G E T   E X C I T E D   A G A I N ! ! ! ! !

Do you think that the hostess really cares about bookings if your dull and not excited about [company]?  Yell at her "MORE CANDLES" as you hop up on her table and dance around!  Hoot and holler about how she can't live another week without the Venice at $129.95 a set!  Make her scream " I NEED MORE CANDLES"!!!

If you don't believe it, she won't!

There is a better way of presenting the hostess program, It's called "Having fun at the party"  If you are having fun, chances are that they are!  You said "I've tried stacking and I just can't get it right (seems to take too long and is confusing) "   WHY STACK?  It doesn't sound like your having fun with it!  Works great for others, NOT for you!!!  Would you want to go to Aruba if last years trip was not fun? ? ?  Do people want to book parties if the one they are at is not fun? ? ?   Make [company] fun again for you and the calls WILL work!

N O W  MAKE YOUR CALLS!    HAVE FUN!

The people only look dull most of the time.  For the most part, a hostess has her best friends and family at the party.  If we were not there, they would be more laid back and having fun!  Start your show by having guest pick a candle holder off the table and tell why they think the hostess would like it.  I find a lot out about people that way as well as the hostess getting tips from people that know her best!  I did this with little old church ladies ( All around 80)  and was shocked at the nasty things they came up with!  I had to stop taking a 3-wick to those pyrites as we would get laughing so hard I didn't want anyone hurt!

P.S.  Next time don't let yourself get in a rut before posting!  We're here for you!  If you need the boost, I'll give you a "lap dance" at conference! Hank
