ask EVERYONE
partner with your host to get bookings PRIOR to the show

Hi there! I have a few tips and tricks for increasing bookings at each show that have worked well for me in the past.1. Start with a strong opening: Begin your show by emphasizing the importance of hosting a party and the benefits that come with it. Share success stories of past hosts and how they were able to earn free products and discounts.2. Utilize incentives: Offer a special gift or discount to guests who book a party at the show. This can be a free product or a percentage off their order. This will encourage them to book on the spot.3. Use host coaching: Make sure to follow up with your host before the party to ensure they have invited enough guests and are excited about hosting. During the party, remind guests of the perks of hosting and encourage them to book a party themselves.4. Highlight the host rewards: During your presentation, be sure to showcase the host rewards and explain how they can earn them by hosting a party. This will entice guests to book a party and take advantage of the rewards.5. Share the benefits of hosting: Aside from the free products and discounts, remind guests that hosting a party is a fun and easy way to get together with friends and family. It’s a great opportunity to try out new recipes and products.6. Offer different types of parties: Not everyone is able to host a traditional in-home party, so consider offering other options such as online parties or catalog parties. This will make it easier for guests to say yes to hosting.7. Use social media: Encourage your host to create a Facebook event for their party and invite their friends. This will help generate more interest and potentially lead to more bookings.I hope these tips help and best of luck with your training at the cluster meeting!
