Boost Your Direct Sales Success: Hostess Coaching Tips for a $2300 Show!

[thecougchef]

just got a "cheerleading" email from my upline...

My favorite tips in hostess coaching:

1. Have a top ten hostess list and pass at each show in booking binder (set the expectation up front)

2. Set time to review hostess packet and review hostess awards THOROUGHLY so they understand.

3. Give an incentive for have so much in outside orders before you arrive
the more they have the more incentives they get.

4. Give an incentive to beat your highest show

5. Use a call system and postcard system to coach them through and reiterate the expectation.

Results: Just closed a $2300 show. The hostess had $900 in outside orders
when I arrived. It's nice to leave for a show knowing if only 1 person shows you've already been paid a fair amount.

i dont know if the "results" were actually my upline directors results but its pretty impressive!! my favorite idea is the "top ten hostess list." being that ive only done a little over 20 shows - i was thinking that i would do a top 5 list & then do #4 - give an incentive to beat your highest show.

I can see using your hosting tips to help with outside orders before the show. Being a competitive person I would definitely try to have the highest show total. Someone has put a batter bowl challenge on here and I am starting to use it. Here it is if you want it.

i like that! i cant believe i havent seen it. maybe ill add my top 5 hosts to the top of that and say "wanna be on this list & recieve the classic batter bowl for free?? return the completed sheet...." etc.

hmmmmm. now my brain is clicking.

okay so i redid the batter bowl sheet to fit the "top hostess" idea. i think this kind of gives people an idea of what a show can be. and i agree - i like to have the bragging rights of being on someones "top list."

I love the batter bowl challenge! Can't wait to use that

 

[tlag1986]

I like the changes you made. It is easy to incorporate both ideas with this sheet. I hope it helps everybody get your hosts motivated.

may I ask, what is a "postcard system" ?

I think its where you send out postcards to your hosts to remind them of up coming events - like time to send out your invites, confirmation postcards - thank you for booking a show, dates to remember etc. I used it in the beginning but don't anymore - I think phone calls work better!
