Okay, I had to come share on here b/c DH just doesn't "get" it and wouldn't prolly listen anyway!
I had a show today, basically my only one this month. I was hoping it would be big. The only other business I have is a catalog show (which I don't have a ton of faith in), an open house with some other DS consultants (ditto) and the Black Friday Sale.
The host is a friend of mine, and she started off awesome by inviting 50 ppl! She had 17 RSVPs and 10 showed. Still not bad.
I decided to try some new ideas today in my demo to see if it made a difference. I took Ann's idea of passing around the SB for everyone to sign. They got a kick out of that!
I also put a green dot sticker on one of my lapboards. I made sure it was the 2nd in the pile and sure to be picked. I told that person "their mission, should they choose to accept it, was to remind the guests 3 times about the guest special." I remember seeing that on here too. That worked REALLY well. Out of the orders, I think everyone but one or two qualified for it! And the host wants to be sure she orders enough for it too. My favorite part was when someone asked about Season's Best, his plug was "and if you buy 60 of them, you can get the cooling rack free!" LOL!
Also, Pampered Poker game finally seemed to click for me. This was also a group where almost EVERYONE was new to PC so they had lots of questions
Finally, I encouraged them at the beginning to tear OFF the wish list and use it throughout. I have always pointed it out haven't always told them to tear it. Almost every single one was used. Usually, I go home with lots of blank ones still attached.
We are currently at $805 in sales, and the host is still working on some outside orders. I am really hoping she gets to $900. I told her she'd be my top host of the year and she got all excited about that! Of course, she joked with me she'd love a shirt with a picture of the Celebrate plate she won at my Open House on it. I wonder if I can make a transfer
So I am hoping these ideas made an impact. Oh, I did also point out that my avg host has about $550 in sales and made them look up and call out to me what that meant in benefits. Maybe that's why I got three spring bookings!
I'm just really excited as I expected this to be an off month. With another $72 hanging around from a catty show that didn't make, I could make level 1 sell-a-thon after all! Here's hoping...
