I have a question, I have a past-host that went to a friends party and told the consultant she would book a show off her friends.
Well she is unable to do the show with that consultant and is booking with me.
How do I find out if that consultant did put her name in as a booking?
Other then calling home office, is there a way thru my website like there is for past-host look-up??

Thanks-
Kelly V.
 
Did the consultant print off a P3 receipt for the host? It'll be listed on the top section for her.
 
If you enter in this new show in P3 and put in the previous host's #, then put in her guest order, maybe check and see if P3 puts up a warning dot or something telling you it won't work? Not sure, but thought maybe that's worth a try.
 
it will be on the past host's receipt.

Thanks!

I just called her and she is going to call her friend tonight to see if she still has the receipt (even though we tell them to keep them!:rolleyes:)
And if her name is on the bottom.

This is easier then being on hold or waiting for a call back from HO.

Kelly, just do the show and try putting the friend on as guest (with her past host discount #)and ordering the host special for her. If P3 doesn't put up a red flag, its all good, if not, then her booking wasn't on there and there's nothing you can do, unless you want to give her a little gift or something. She will still get her 10% off as well.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Did my past host's friend really book a party with me?

It's common to feel uncertain about bookings made during a party. If a friend of your past host expressed interest in booking a party, it's best to follow up with them directly. Reach out via message or phone call to confirm their interest and discuss potential dates.

How can I confirm if a friend of my past host booked a party?

The best way to confirm a booking is to check your calendar and any notes you may have taken during the party. If you have a booking system or app, review it for any new entries. Additionally, contacting the friend directly can provide clarity on their intentions.

What should I do if I haven't heard back from the friend?

If you haven't heard back, it's perfectly acceptable to send a friendly follow-up message. Express your excitement about the possibility of hosting their party and ask if they have any questions or need assistance in choosing a date.

How can I encourage my past host's friends to book a party?

Encouraging bookings can be done through personalized follow-ups, offering incentives, or sharing success stories from previous parties. Highlight the fun aspects of hosting and the benefits they can receive, such as discounts or free products.

What if the friend says they are not ready to book a party?

If the friend is not ready to book, respect their decision and offer to stay in touch. You can provide them with information about upcoming promotions or events that might interest them in the future. Keeping the lines of communication open can lead to future opportunities.
