8 Steps to Great CoachingGREAT Host Coaching


1. When setting the date, decide first when you would like them to book and offer them 2 dates in that time frame. They may not be able to book then and you can go from there, but often they will take one of the dates offered and this way you can control your schedule better.

2. Call them to talk about their show. I like to ask them what products are on their wishlist. Thsi way if it's some big items I can bring them to the show and coach them to the level needed?"

3. I always ask them if they would some tips to help make their show very successful. They always say yes.

4. I like to go thru the host packet with them and explain everything. I think an informed host is a successful host.

5. Encourage the host to over invite. I include 30 invites and always encourage them to use them all and ask their rsvps to bring a friend.

6. I invite the host and anyone she knows who might be interested in the PC opportunity to look at the recruiting brochure and I let them know the reduced price for points.

7. The host picks her menu from the two I am offering.

8. I let the host know I will be calling 2 days before her show to get her attencance, directions and answer any additional questions they may have.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is host coaching and why is it important for successful shows?

Host coaching involves guiding and supporting your hosts to ensure they have a successful show. It is important because it helps hosts understand their role, encourages them to invite more guests, and equips them with the tools and confidence they need to promote the event effectively. A well-coached host can significantly increase attendance and sales at the show.

How can I effectively coach my hosts before the show?

To effectively coach your hosts, start by having a one-on-one conversation to discuss their goals and expectations. Provide them with tips on how to invite guests, share the event on social media, and create excitement around the show. Offer to help them with invitations and provide them with a checklist of tasks to complete leading up to the event.

What are some creative ways to encourage guest attendance at my host's show?

Encourage your hosts to offer incentives for guests, such as a raffle or a special prize for those who attend. Suggest they create a theme for the show, which can make it more appealing. Additionally, remind them to follow up with personal messages to their invitees, as this can significantly increase attendance.

How can I help my hosts maximize their sales during the show?

To help your hosts maximize sales, educate them on product knowledge so they can confidently share information with guests. Encourage them to showcase popular items and offer exclusive deals for attendees. Additionally, suggest they create a fun and engaging atmosphere that encourages guests to interact with the products and ask questions.

What follow-up strategies should hosts use after the show to maintain customer relationships?

After the show, hosts should send thank-you notes to attendees, which can be handwritten or digital. They should also follow up with guests who expressed interest in products but did not purchase. Encourage hosts to invite guests to future events and keep them informed about new products or promotions, fostering ongoing relationships and potential future sales.
