I just got a call from my host tomorrow that she wants to reschedule for next week. The biggest problem is her post call reminder call just went out 30 minutes ago... Now I need to send another call that let's them know. I cannot think of how to word it.

Oh and I was really hoping for this one last show this month to help me maintain my TL status...
 
no thoughts on the wording, but if you need $150 in sales don't give up. I had a consultant who needed $150 in 24 hrs before she went inactive and lost all her career sales. She got on the phone and did it!
Get on the phone now and start asking friends and family for help and why you need it. Maybe offer free shipping or 10% off. Let everyone know about the free item with $60 order. Send a mass email out offering a special. Give away an item you might have on hand to the first 3 people that place an order. You still have 72 hours so LOTS of time! GOOD LUCK!!! :)

Actually right after I posted this one of my non-regular consultants called and said she was submitted a $500 show! So that will get us to our team sales for the month. I normally carry the team sales myself but I had so many cancellations this month (including this lady who already rescheduled from the beginning of the month :grumpy: )
 
Hi there! I completely understand your frustration with having to reschedule your host's party. It can be challenging to have to send out another reminder call so soon after the first one. I would suggest keeping the message short and simple, something like, "Hello everyone, due to unforeseen circumstances, our party with [host's name] has been rescheduled for next week. We apologize for any inconvenience and look forward to seeing you all then. Thank you for your understanding." I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance. Thank you!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I need to reschedule a party or event?

If you need to reschedule a party or event, it's important to communicate with your guests as soon as possible. Reach out via phone, text, or email to inform them of the change and provide them with the new date and time. Make sure to apologize for any inconvenience and express your excitement for the rescheduled event.

How can I effectively send out a new reminder call after rescheduling?

To effectively send out a new reminder call, make sure to include the updated date, time, and location of the event. Be enthusiastic and remind your guests of what they can look forward to, such as new products or special offers. You can also encourage them to bring a friend to make it more fun!

Is it necessary to send a reminder call if I’ve already contacted my guests about the reschedule?

Yes, sending a reminder call is still necessary even if you've already contacted your guests about the reschedule. It serves as a helpful reminder and ensures that everyone is on the same page regarding the new details. It also shows your commitment to keeping them informed and engaged.

What should I include in my reminder call for a rescheduled event?

Your reminder call should include the new date and time of the event, the location, and any special highlights or promotions that will be featured. Additionally, remind guests to RSVP if they haven't already, and encourage them to bring friends along to increase attendance.

How far in advance should I send out the new reminder call?

It's best to send out the new reminder call at least a week in advance of the rescheduled event. This gives your guests ample time to adjust their schedules and ensures that they have the new information fresh in their minds as the date approaches. A follow-up reminder a day or two before the event can also be helpful.
