Questions on Dpds to Plant Recruiting Seed??

[pamperedbecky]

Ok, bear with me. I am going nuts trying to find some notes from a workshop from conference or leadership and I can't find it ANYWHERE. Hopefully all you helpful folks out there can help me (or at least maybe know what I'm talking about).

There's a little strategy that I KNOW I've heard of where on the back of the door prize drawing slip, the consultant has all the guests write down names of people (that could potentially be their first hosts if they decided to start the biz....but they don't know this yet as they're writing them down). There are a number of things and the guests are asked to number their responses. They go something like this:
5 people you like to spend time with
5 people who like to party/are social butterflies
5 family members/friends you don't see often enough....

Or at least something to that effect. This helps them brainstorm people who could either be guests if they decide to host a show or who could be the first bunch of people to host their first shows. Does this ring a bell with anyone? Does anyone know the "official" list of how this goes? Any help would be much appreciated!! I thought this would be a fun way to let my potential recruits think of some potential first hosts (other than calling it a list of 100). I've also heard of using the FRANK acronym:
Friends
Relatives
Acquaintances
Neighbors
Kids (people you know through your kids)

Just thought I'd try to make it more fun.

Thanks for reading and I appreciate any help I can get.

Sadly, I dont know of the notes you are speaking of but I do like the idea of using the back of the drawing slip to get people to Brainstorm, let pressure, they cant talk themselves out of anyone person.... i will have to incorporate that.

Becky, I vaguely remember hearing of this game, but don't remember any details.My Director has had luck with a booking game that's similar. She tells people to write down the 5 things they'd buy from our catalog if money were no object, with prices (they can be estimates). Take the 2 most expensive items and divide the prices in half. Then add the others together and take $100 off. (You tell the guests to do this. The numbers don't need to be exact, it's to give them an idea.) Then you say that what they just did is picked out their host benefits.

Thanks! I've heard of that and just haven't tried it at shows. I think I'll need to try it at my next one.

Maybe I'll just make up my own brainstorming game/exercise like the one I'm trying to locate. My brain is dead now, so maybe tomorrow.

Thanks for the input!!!

Hi there! I completely understand the struggle of trying to find notes from past workshops or conferences. It can be overwhelming trying to remember everything we learn, especially when it comes to strategies like the one you mentioned. I believe the activity you are referring to is called the "Dream Hostess List" and it's a great way to get your guests thinking about potential hosts without feeling pressured. The list usually includes categories like "people you enjoy spending time with," "people who love to entertain," and "people who you haven't seen in a while." It's a fun and interactive way to brainstorm potential hosts and can also be used as a recruiting tool. As for the FRANK acronym, that is also a great way to categorize potential hosts and make the list more memorable. I hope this helps and good luck with your future workshops!
