Planning a Biz Opp Q&A Meeting: Tips & Ideas

In summary, Anne has had a few leads and is planning a Biz Opp Q&A-type meeting. The leads are more than 30 minutes away, so she needs to find a location. Starbucks might work, but you never know how busy it is. She also offered prizes to anyone who signs up for the meeting, and recruited using recruiting games and door prizes.

Has anyone had quite a few leads and scheduled a Biz Opp Q & A type meeting. The leads are in a town or towns that are more than 30 minutes from me so I would need to find a location. Starbucks might work but you never know how busy it is going to be

If you have done one or led one what did you do??
 
I'm curious about this too. I had thought about doing this with my 6 leads I have from my ladies fair I did......

Belinda has great info on doing this. Also, some hotels or diners have a small meeting room you can use that's inexpensive. There are lots of things you can do. Offer prizes for anyone who signs up. I would have people in your DL talk about the opp. First, if you don't mind me telling you... talk about why direct sales is a great way to go, then you talk about what to look for in a company; the three key things to look for when choosing a DS co. 1) Product 2) Program (hosts and cons) and 3) opportunity to make money. Then explain why PC is a great choice. Have a couple of different people talk 1) new person 2) SAHM 3) experienced director 4) someone who has an amazing story. It sounds like a lot but if you give everyone a couple of minutes, it really doesn't last that long. We also did a couple of recruiting and booking "games". That really helped us. We also drew from door prize slips; we gave out some prizes and we did a short Q&A.

We actually did one at my director's home, which is centrally located. We had a great turnout and one of the people in my DL has an interested party.

I would be happy to share any info I have. AND: If I may say this, invite ANYONE who has ever attended a show. Don't be afraid that you're going to have too many people. Most won't come, but those who do... While it could be a huge event for you; you can keep it casual and fun.

Problem is I got 16 yes's and maybe's in an area that is 45 minutes drive from here. Too far for these people to even make it to our cluster meeting I think.
I need to finda location otut here. I have already talked to my director and she has offered to come out with me to for support.

Problem now is finding a location

Anne I would love any info you have - It would be so helpful. Things are heating up a bit and my head is spinning LOL!
 
For a location, check the local library or call a church (or ask one of the potentials if they have a church).
 
I'll put everything together for you. Are you a member of the Success Express with Belinda? I'm just asking because she has great info.

I am finding the same location issue. I have people interested in an area that needs more consultants and it is 90 minutes away from where I have my meetings. I am considering adding another meeting closer but want to make sure that it would be worth it.

Thanks for sharing these location ideas too. My house is a wreck and I am looking for an inexpense (or free) meeting place.

I e-mailed the library. I know the recreation center where the bridal show was help has rooms but I am trying to find something as inexpensive as possible.
I may not walk in July but I can actually see it is possible for me to become a Director. I talk to EVERY host now.

Here are a couple of things I used that really motivated me to do an Opp Event. They may not be exactly what you are talking about doing, but it should give you some good ideas. Once I get home, I'll post what I have.

Here's the questionaire we did. We also gave everyone who attended a gift bag with a thank you letter, questionaire, opp info, booking info (because we encouraged EVERYONE to bring a guest), couple of candies, and a cute set of two twixit clips in tulle with a ribbon. It was a nice touch and people really liked getting it. I can post some of the games we did, but I just got them off of here.

I know what I did what a Host App Night, but it was really an opp night disguised as a HAN.

I've done 1 opp night at my home and invited my 10 maybe leads last year. Well only 1 showed, didn't sign but booked a show so it wasn't for nothing I suppose!

What about asking one of the potential recruits to host it in her home? Especially if you have someone really enthusiastic that you are pretty sure will sign. Offer her some great incentive like $ off her start up kit or a free product that you have as surplus that you can give her. That would cost you minimal money and it might be more comfortable and casual in a person's house than in a conference room. Just a thought.

library or senior center. Sometimes fire departments have an extra room.

My director just recently started doing an opportunity night and so far the people that take leads are at a 100% sign up percentage. I'll ask her what they do, but our cluster is making this into a monthly thing.

My budget is very tight and I really don't know what the attendance will be - You know how people are they asy they are going to be there and don't show. I know I hve at least one really good lead in that area but the others I am not so sure about.
