Boost Your Party Sales: Tips for Motivating Hosts and Making Extra Income

[ChefBeckyD]

Just got off the phone with my host for June 7th - she has $200 in outside orders already (YEA!) but $100 of it is from "selling squares" at work. Apparently this is a common practice where she works for home parties - they always pass around a squares sheet, and then do a drawing for the product value.
I know some consultants do this - but I never have, it just seems too much like gambling for me...so I'm still mulling over how I feel about it. DH says that if they want to throw away money, then it's up to them.

AND this host is seriously considering signing. We talked about it again today, she just took on a 2nd job window washing for a house builder, so we were talking about how much she could make per show doing PC, and that she could manage her schedule better doing this....

Just not sure about the whole squares deal though.....

I don't like the squares deal, either. Or games at my shows. When someone asks to do something like that, I just tell them I don't do those things. If they want to do a game or a "squares" thing and supply the prize themself, fine, but I'm not part of it. Good luck!

Wow, so she just made up the whole squares thing herself? Sounds like you do need to sign her!

I say let her do the game & then sign her up!

I do agree with your DH ... it's a game, and if they come up with it on their own, let them.

I remember asking about a similar game because I'd heard of it from other DS plans ... and getting yelled at in here for promoting something illegal ... and then some time later, somebody else posted one. So I downloaded it and haven't really used it ... but have it handy to promote should I have the right host.

Anyway ... it sounds like she needs to sign ... tell her to do it in MAY!
