When it comes to in home partys, consultants do their best to help the hostess have the most successful party possible. In order for this to happen, the two parties need to communicate and work together. Unfortunately, this does not always happen. Here is a wish list from consultants as to what they wish their hosts had listened to them about.
Book Some Shows
Guard the door
Encourage your guests to come early and your consultant will start on time. This is only polite to all who have been invited. You want to have the party then let every one go home and leave you alone — at a decent time. If you think that some of your guests will be late position yourself by the door to quietly greet them, take their coat, give them any materials your consultant gave to all the other guests and provide a seat all with a minimum of fuss. Late guests can be an interruption and distraction from the show, so keep any latecomer’s “spotlight” as brief as possible.
Advance orders
As you are personally inviting your guests, also get advance orders with the money. But only get orders from the people who will not be coming to the party. When you get the advance orders, make sure you get their payment in full before your party. Remember you are doing a job and this is a short-term sales job, so don’t apologize if you think you are being pushy. Part of being a hostess is to politely ask for orders and if the answer is “no,” then move on. Do not place the catalog in your break room at work with a note in it; this generates nothing. Personally hand the catalog to people with an order form and a pen. Tell them if they would like to order you need their order soon. Give them a short deadline such as within a few hours, by the time you get off of work, or at the very most, a day or two. You need to get the book to others. Make sure you share with them any specials that your consultant is offering. Ask them if they would like to have a party to get free stuff, too. If they cannot order, this is an excellent way to help them to get some things they really like.
Have you ever heard that? Yes, I know, you were at a party, a shopping/buying party, and for whatever reason — a free product, you liked the consultant, your friend needed you to book a party or you just wanted to — you did. Good for you! Now what?
