Hey guys! I had a party today - had 11 people there which is a great turnout (this was my 7th cooking party) and over all between $500-$600 in sales. The host was a coworker who is a good friend and I was really excited about getting outside of my circle of friends and family but not one person booked a show!!! I did the book to look with an added incentive of a free cookbook if they booked in June. I had two people say to contact them in November - that they MIGHT do a show in December. I did everything - sprinkled seeds of host benefits throughout the show, talked about the host special, and I asked everyone as they checked out if they wanted me to throw a party for them (this is what I say instead of "Would you like to host a party?" - I've found people like that better because it is me doing all the work instead of them and that question just reinforces it). SIGH Oh well. It was a great show otherwise with the $500-$600 going toward my June sell-a-thon, my SS#3 kit, the SS bonus kit I want and of course the cluster challenge so it wasn't a wash at all! I am thankful for the sales, just bummed about the lack of bookings/recruit leads.
OH - did want to share something - if it is difficult for you to ask someone to host a party, as they check out and you are totalling their order, ask if they have hosted a party in the last year so they can use their 10% discount. When they say "no", ask them if they would like to host one!
Bummed but will get past it!
