I listened to this training CD last night!!! WOW!!!! It's is full of soooo many great ideas. I thought I would share this one. One of the many things they talk about is doing a "wrap up" at your shows this is were at the end of your demo you go back through the list of products that you just used. She says that this has increased her sales. I will definatley (sp?) be trying this at my next few shows. I almost feel like a dummy from not thinking of this one on my own.
 
Where did you get this CD? On the supply order form?
 
Such a simple little thing. I can easily see this increasing sales as there are so many great products that some people forget what they wanted!

I bought through the trading post here. If you would like I could post my notes here.

That sounds like a great CD. Do you mean just go back through and tell everyone the products used? Sorry I'm being dense today! It makes sense though, maybe to pick everything back up to show them one last time before they fill out their order.

That's right. "So i would just like to recap real quick what we did today, We cooked our recipe today on the Large round stone item # 1370 for $25.50, we chopped the chicken with the food chopper item #2585 for $28.50 and so on"

The trading post is here on the main forums page. It may even be on the supply order form list. Sorry I can't be more helpful then that.
 
This CD is great-I just borrowed it from my Director! At tonight's show I am going to do the recap of products, plus talk about the Best Buy of the Month. That product can be whatever you want to be-an add-on item. I'm using the Easy Opener ($3.50 value) at the product that you need this month. Especially with summer bbq's and lots of outside eating and drinking, this tool is great for opening bottles, etc. I'll let you'all know how it goes!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a product recap in the context of direct sales shows?

A product recap is a brief summary or presentation of the key features, benefits, and uses of the products showcased during a direct sales event. It helps to reinforce the value of the products in the minds of potential customers and can be delivered at the end of the show or during key moments to maintain engagement.

How does a product recap help in closing sales?

A product recap helps in closing sales by summarizing the main selling points and addressing any questions or concerns that potential customers may have. By highlighting the unique features and benefits of the products, it can create a sense of urgency and encourage attendees to make a purchase before they leave the event.

Can a product recap improve customer retention?

Yes, a product recap can improve customer retention by reinforcing the value of the products and reminding customers of their benefits after the show. When customers feel informed and confident about their purchases, they are more likely to return for future events or recommend the products to others.

What are some effective strategies for delivering a product recap?

Effective strategies for delivering a product recap include using engaging visuals, sharing personal stories or testimonials, and incorporating interactive elements such as quizzes or demonstrations. Keeping the recap concise and focused on the most compelling aspects of the products can also enhance its impact.

How often should I include a product recap in my shows?

Including a product recap at the end of each show is recommended, but you can also integrate shorter recaps throughout the event, especially after demonstrating key products. This approach keeps the audience engaged and reinforces the value of the products, ultimately boosting sales.
