How does one go about host coaching for a catalog show - is it pretty much the same as a live show? I did use the flyer re: catalog shows which I got on this site, but not sure where to go from there. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks!
 
This is what I put in my catalog show packets...I'm not sure if its the same flyer that you are talking about, but I host coach from this. :)

I would pretty much try to host coach as you would for a kitchen show. Make sure she understand the host program, be sure she's telling her "guests" about the guest special, make sure she follows up with people she gives catalogs to within a few days and she does "reminder calls" to people she hasn't heard from in terms of browsing the catalog. Really encourage her to get the full contact info for each person, including emails. This gives you a GREAT reason to call someone to thank then for their order, then explore bookings.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is host coaching and why is it important?

Host coaching is the process of guiding and supporting your hosts to ensure a successful party. It is important because it helps hosts understand their role, encourages them to invite more guests, and provides them with tips to engage attendees, ultimately leading to higher sales and a better experience for everyone involved.

How can I effectively coach my hosts before the party?

To effectively coach your hosts, start by having a one-on-one conversation to set expectations. Provide them with a checklist of tasks, such as inviting guests, setting a date, and preparing for the party. Share tips on how to promote the event, like using social media or personal invitations, and offer to help them with any questions they may have.

What should I do if my host is not enthusiastic about the party?

If your host seems unenthusiastic, try to understand their concerns by asking open-ended questions. Encourage them by highlighting the benefits of hosting, such as earning free products and spending time with friends. Share success stories from previous hosts to inspire them, and offer additional support or incentives to boost their motivation.

How can I help my host engage guests during the party?

To help your host engage guests, suggest interactive activities such as games or cooking demonstrations. Encourage them to share personal stories about their favorite products and to ask guests questions to spark conversation. Providing a fun and relaxed atmosphere will help guests feel more comfortable and likely to participate.

What follow-up steps should I take after the party?

After the party, follow up with your host to thank them for their efforts and discuss the results. Review the sales and any bookings that may have come from the event. Encourage them to reach out to guests who showed interest in products and offer to assist with any follow-up orders. This will help maintain the relationship and potentially lead to future parties.
