I have been meaning to tell everyone about this.
At my last monthly consultant meeting in September - our meetings are held the first Saturday of the month until our director's NEW house is finished.
My boss (she hates it when I call her that) told us to try something new with our host at our shows.
Ask the host for her wish list a head of time - I got my host list off of her/my website.
I brought the products that I had and made/printed an index cardf or the products I didn't have.
The day of the show, I put the products all together from the wish list on the coffee table. After everyone was there, this is how it went.
After the introductions and some basic stuff, I asked the guest if they knew why I put the products there on the table and then asked the host if they looked like what she wanted (I didn't tell the host that I was doing this)
After there response, I went down the list of products and prices. I then went on to say that if Melissa wanted all this stuff - as a guest she would have to pay $$$$$ but because she is a host she will only pay $$$$$ and if someone books a show for October off of her she will save even more because she can get her stone with handle for only $11.95. They couldn't believe it, they asked why and how and had two people book show right there and then - WOW.
This was a fun way of showing what the host gets right there. They were amazed. It really pushed home how much the host gets. I also told the guest that the more the host guest sales are, the less the host will pay plus the host will get even more products FREE.
When I got to the host's house, the host had $125 in outside orders, 17 guest showed up, 2 bookings, guest sales when I left was $728 and then when it was all said and done, her total guest sales was $1201.05. She was so excited. She said that people wanted to help her to get a few more products FREE and so they either added to their order or they decided to order after all (she had 3 co-workers that told her 'No Thank You' from my website before the show but after they heard what I did the next day at their place of work, these 3 people ordered something to help her also)
I couldn't believe it
As a Thank You Gift - I ordered her the Patrotic basket liner because her mom had already bought the tablecloth and towels. The host ordered the chillzanne rectangle server and the woven basket so the least I could do was to buy the liner for her to match everything else.
She was a GREAT host.
