Re-Booking a Host Show: Questions Answered!

? I think you might be referring to a catalog party. A catty party is a smaller, more intimate party that is usually held within the confines of the consultant's home. It's usually a way for consultants to get to know each other better and to build relationships.

My very-motivated host just reached the $700 mark for her July show and just got almost $600 of product for $199!! She wants to rebook another show for sometime in December.

I've not rebooked a host before- can I just click on the Booking box like I would any other guest? Can I do it under her name as the "host" or do I have to enter her as a "guest" and then do the booking?

Thanks!
 
Yep, just as if it was someone else. I just had one that did this. From what I've been told she can also take advantage of the host gift x2! Not sure about that again I've just book it, I haven't had the show it.
Hope this helps.
 
If she rebooks, she can order the host special as a customer/past host from whom the show was booked, on that one she pays s/h. Then she can also order as the current host. I have done this a couple of times and have a few more coming up.
 
To rebook, just click the booking box and indicate date. You do not have to add her as a guest to rebook.

When she does have that 2nd show, she gets the host special twice....at this point is when you will re-enter her as a host and a guest. As stated above, she will pay s&h for the past host special.

HTH

thanks everyone!!
 
When you set up the shows for hosts - just automatically rebook them and count out 5 months. Make sure to so this. Your hosts will LOVE YOU dearly!
I started doing this right from the get go when the new host benfits program started. I can tell you how many of my hosts were thrilled when I called and said somethign like, "Hey Mary, I could sure use a party this month. I also remembered you were looking for Cookware and that is our August Host Special. And I can get you DOUBLE the pieces!" Needless to say, she immediately booked a catty party! She wants the Stir-Fry Skillet and the Saute Pan. All she needs is another $98 to get them both. She is ordereing the Stir-Fry Skillet at $52.50 as the past host so it counts toward her guest sales. The other she will get as the current host. Tells you why she has been a host of mine for almost 7 years now and is up to 13 parties! LOYALTY people! Loyalty! She has even out and out told other consultants that no, she will not book a party from them. Her consultant treats her to good for her to do that to him! SWEET!

John - do you tell your host you did that? or do you wait until a good month comes along and then call her about the option? Do you just pick a month, and then when you see a good month as far as a special she might be interested in, or when you have a 'dry spell', then just reschedule her date then?Great concept- just wondering about those few things!
 
I always rebook my host, either with a specific date the host as chosen within the 6 months, or I just randomly type a date in on P3. I pencil in the host name in my calendar 5 months out, so when I get to a month I'm booking I know who I'm calling and remind them of the double host special. For example: Theresa is in my calendar for September- I'll call and let her know because she booked a show within 6 months, she is now eligible for two pieces of stoneware at 60% off in September, and she gets to check out the new fall products.
 
I always ask. Rarely does a host decline. Since the bookings show up on the host's receipt, I would hate for a host to feel I was pushing them into booking or that I was trying to pull one over on them. JMHO.

That's what I was wondering, and Why.

Oh, and to answer your question, you can do a booking right from her host order. As for the why, she'll be able to get 2 of the host special--1 as a guest/booked-from host and 1 as host.

1. How soon should I re-book a host show?

It is recommended to re-book a host show within 2-3 weeks after your current show. This will give you enough time to follow up with potential hosts and secure a date that works for both parties.

2. Can I re-book a host show with the same host?

Absolutely! Re-booking with the same host is a great way to continue building a strong relationship and can lead to more successful shows in the future.

3. What are some incentives I can offer to encourage re-booking?

Offering a discount or free product for the host's next show is a common incentive. Other ideas include hosting a special VIP event for re-booked hosts, or offering a bonus gift for each guest who books their own show.

4. Is it appropriate to ask for re-bookings at the current show?

Yes, it is perfectly acceptable to mention re-booking at the current show. In fact, it can be an effective way to secure a date while the excitement is still high and the guests are already thinking about hosting their own show.

5. What should I do if a host is hesitant to re-book?

If a host is hesitant to re-book, it's important to understand their concerns and address them. Offer to help with planning and promoting their show, and remind them of the benefits they will receive as a host. If they are still unsure, politely thank them for considering and leave the door open for future opportunities.
