27. No doesn’t mean Never Ask for a referral
Don’t give up if someone says no
They are not saying No to you, just to the idea of having a party
Don’t take it personally, just say:
-“If you change your mind, let me know”
Can I call you in a few months, you seem to really like the jewels?
No problem, it is my job to ask, so I ask!
Ask for a referral

28. Get the date!
It is not a booking without a date! Get the date on the calendar, and follow up with an or phone call to confirm it!

29. Hostess Coaching

30. Why Hostess Coach?
Successful hostess coaching is one of the most important aspects of your business
Comfortable, Excited Hostess = GREAT Attendance
Consistent hostess coaching will lead to consistently great shows
YOUR HOSTESS COULD/SHOULD BE YOUR NEXT REP! INVITE HER TO JOIN YOUR TEAM!

Invitations (50)
2 to 3 Catalogs –
Hostess Information Sheet YOUR TIME TO SHINE
Imagine Teaser and/or Recruit Packet
Pam remind them that you will your sheet if they give you their .

This is FREE advertising for your business
Don’t be shy

33. 10-5-1 You will have a successful party! Who uses the 10-5-1?
Why is it important?
The success of your next party is determined before you arrive.
If you hostess has 5 outside orders
And at least 10 buying guests at the party
And one booking
You will have a successful party!

34. Communication with your Hostess is Essential for a Successful Show!
Okay – WHEN?

35. WHEN TO CALL
4 WEEKS PRIOR TO SHOW/DAY AFTER EVENT: confirm the show date\time, help hostess with ‘who do you know’ list, remind hostess to send out invites two weeks before the show.
2 WEEKS PRIOR TO THE SHOW- MAKE SURE the hostess sends out the invites and remind them to invite at least 40 people or mail them yourself
1 WEEK PRIOR TO THE SHOW- “check –in” with the hostess and remind them about outside orders & I also tell them to start talking up their show and carry their catalog everywhere.
2 DAYS PRIOR TO THE SHOW- I make the reminder calls. This is so important.

36. Reminder calls to the guests the day before the party
Reminds the guest about the party
Allows them to give you an order before the show if they can’t go
Possible future hostess prospect
At least you can leave a message to remind them of the show.
Yes’s, Maybes and the People that didn’t RSVP
Reminder Calls are Courtesy Calls!

37. After the party
Continue to have a relationship with your hostess after the party even if you just send an , do something!
Consider your hostess your next best Rep Prospect!

56. Enhance your business building skills
Become a proficient listener.
Fine tune your listening skills to comprehend questions – after all, a “no” is really a need to “know.”
Become a proficient interviewer.
Respond with clear and concise information.

57. Help your prospect get enough information to enable her to make an informed decision.
Let her reach her own conclusion rather than telling her what you think she needs to know.
