Sheila!

I know that somewhere you posted about how you highlight the show planner - but I can't find it!

Could you re-post that info? I actually ordered some show planners to try it, and now they are just sitting here, because I can't find the info!

Thanks!
 
Yes! But you have to use a red ball point pen! No other color does the trick like red, their eyes go right to it! (tips from the CD High Impact Host Coaching)

Wish List: Start now, wish BIG!
Invitation list section: Fill it up, Seriously!
Followup with RSVP's: If you call them, they will come!
write in your web address so they don't have to go look for it
Put a Dollar Sign next to the host kit credit so you'll remember to mention it when you go over the list with them.
Put astericks next to each host reward
On the back, I put 1 circle around the Show sales of $1,000 and it's Free Product Amount, then another circle around the 4 half-priced items & the 30% off. Above that section, I write: This is our goal. Invite LOTS of people and you CAN achieve this!

Then I tell them how many hosts I've had that have hit that level this year and that all my $1,000 (or higher) hosts get their name on my web page. Getting their name on the web page is reason enough for some of them to hit the level. That matters more to some that the benefits! Crazy!!! One poor girl worked her butt off and moved from $500 to $800 trying to get her name on my web page. ;) She settled for the extra benefits. LOL

:D Hope you get good results from it too Coleen!
