pchefinski said:there's the hostess tic-tac-toe document that some people are having great success with. Or you could offer them PC DOLLARS (from you, of course) for each booking referral (and a larger amount for recruit referrals) that you could give to them after they've held their show (or signed). You could do $5 for one, $10 for two and $25 for three bookign referrals.. maybe they'd reach to get 3 recruits. plus, they'll get the booking benefit from it too.. just an idea.
Encouraging your hostess to get bookings starts with clear communication. Explain the benefits of hosting a party, such as earning free products and discounts. Provide her with a list of potential guests and tips on how to invite them. You can also offer incentives for each booking she secures, making it a fun challenge for her.
Let your hostess know how much you appreciate her support and how her efforts can lead to more fun and rewards for her. You might say something like, "I would love your help in reaching out to your friends! Every booking you secure means more free products for you!" This creates a sense of teamwork and excitement.
Provide your hostess with a script or talking points to make her feel more confident. Role-playing can also help her practice her approach. Remind her that many people enjoy hosting parties and that it’s a great way to gather friends and have fun, which can make the invitation feel less daunting.
If your hostess is hesitant, reassure her that it's normal to feel that way. Share success stories from other hostesses who have successfully secured bookings. Encourage her by emphasizing that she can start with close friends or family, who are often more willing to support her. Sometimes, just a little encouragement can go a long way.
Follow up with your hostess in a friendly and supportive manner. You can send a quick message or make a call to check in and see how she’s feeling about the party planning. Ask if she’s had any luck with bookings and offer to help her brainstorm ideas or provide additional resources. Keeping the conversation light and positive will help her feel supported rather than pressured.
