Does anyone have a FOOL PROOF Script or suggestions for a magician to be able to CLOSE a BOOKING for a show when someone calls and asks for show availablity and rates?
STOP DROP SHUT THEM DOWN AND OPEN UP SHOP

No.
there is no fool proof script. However, I have a good success rate by not using a script and instead listening to the client, answering their questions and providing solutions to their entertainment problems. I save the scripts for the show. |

I take proposals but don't make offers before there is an offer. Rates and availabliity are details. I don't want every possible show. I just want the ones that are good "fits" for me.
However, there is a place for scripts. On the Internet there is common use of a FAQ (frequently asked question) section. Having a script ready for FAQ helps you to control the use of time and consistancy of answers. There will always be questions that you will have to treat as new. But having a plan helps you to maintain control of the interview. Good closings are largely situational. Sometimes you even get to control the situation. Other times you have to work the opportunities available. In time you will develope a nose for it. Good Luck! Bob Magic By Sander |

In other words, if it were easy we would all be booked solid year around with high paying gigs.

Martin,
You really have a point! Except in my tender years now, I prefer having very high paying gigs up to a point and the rest of my time off! Bob Magic By Sander |
