She's also going to be taking advantage of the kit credit to re-start her biz (she's been out of the PC biz for 10 years!) and I told her if she got $300 in outside orders for her show imagine what that will translate to when she starts doing shows for other hosts. I mean WOW!
Make sure to confirm the details with your host, including the time, location, and any specific themes or products they want to highlight. Gather all necessary supplies, including catalogs, order forms, and any demonstration products you'll be showcasing. It's also a good idea to review your presentation and practice any recipes or demonstrations you plan to do.
Encourage your host to invite friends and family through social media, text messages, or personal invitations. Provide them with promotional materials, such as digital flyers or social media posts, to help generate excitement. Remind them to share what they’re most excited about and to highlight any special offers or incentives for attendees.
If your host experiences last-minute cancellations, reassure them that it's common and not to worry. Encourage them to reach out to other potential guests or to consider rescheduling the party for a later date. You can also suggest hosting a virtual party to include those who can't attend in person.
Engage with the guests by creating a fun and interactive atmosphere. Start with an icebreaker to make everyone feel comfortable, and encourage participation throughout the party. Be enthusiastic about the products and provide valuable information, tips, and demonstrations that resonate with the guests' needs and interests.
After the party, thank your host for their efforts and discuss the results, including sales and bookings. Follow up with guests by sending a thank-you message, sharing any special offers, and providing information on how to place orders. This follow-up can help build relationships and encourage future business opportunities.
