Introducing Guests: What's the Reception?

[BlessedWifeMommy]

I have heard about having every guest give their name, and why they came to the show.

For those who do this, how is it received? What do people say?

If you don't do this, what introduction do you do?

I have everyone say their name, how they know host, and Fav PC product. I give a ticket to each, if it is there first show I give 2 tickets.

Then they earn for tiickets for ticket activity in the end, and they I do door prizes!

Received very well so far, been doing it for months, no complaints.

I have everyone: Tell me their first name
Tell me how they know the host
Describe the host in one word.**If they need more than one word, we can pretend that they're hyphenated. And, they are welcome to repeat.

I don't do introductions. I greet everyone at the door as they come in, and introduce myself, and write out a nametag for each of them.

Introductions - especially if you have 10 or more guests - can take too much time. I found that often, that was a way to lose peoples attention right from the start of the show! I just have people interact with me throughout the show. I call them by name and ask them questions about the products they love.

I like for them to introduce themselves and to say which piece of PC would they absolutely love to HAVE. It is something different and gets them thinking. Then I can lead into Hosting your own show to get those favorites pieces.

I totally agree with Becky - I used to do introductions, but my shows took forever. I just greet everyone as they come in and then start the show when most people are there and introduce myself and go right into the demo.
