It’s spring…have you wondered how to get “Bookings”? Answer: “Start planting some Booking Seeds”

Throughout your show demo you should be planting booking seeds.  At least 12 -15 different ones.

What is a booking seed? you may be asking!

A booking seed is a Key phrase that you ‘Plant’ throughout your show demo.

Things like “my last hostess received this for free” or “if you fall in love with more than your pocket book allows…talk to me about booking your own show”.

It’s been proven that the more “booking seeds” you plant throughout your show gets more results!!!

So start today!

After all, spring is upon us and its time to start “Planting!”

Often times when people join a business they feel overwhelmed. Many people feel that there is so much they need to know before they approach anyone. So…WHAT is it that you should know before you approach people?

I had signed up for a business as a distributor to get a discount a couple of years ago, I’ll call that Company A. My upline coached me to see if this was a business I wanted to build since I had signed up a couple of other team members. I tried it but it just wasn’t me at the time, I had another business I was working on and it didn’t fit in with the schedule I desired.

Last summer I switched  to a product line that I felt better suited me and my beliefs, I’ll call that Company B. (I rarely switch products in this area so this tells you how I feel about the products.). While I liked some of the products of Company A, I didn’t want to order from 2 different companies so again, I signed up as a distributor for Company B and again I have team members.

Last week the upline for Company A called to tell me about some specials. WOW I thought she forgot all about me. I hadn’t heard from her in about 9 months. I also had not been ordering. I called her back to let her know that I wasn’t ordering from Company A anymore and I mentioned that I hadn’t heard from her in a while and asked how she was doing. (This upline is very likable but not very personal or relational).  She said “Oh well I never know how often people like me to contact them.”

As many of you know the Olympics are wrapping up this week!

So much fun!!!

Our house has seen its fair share of ‘whoops and hollers’.

I’d have to say the most “Fun” with the Olympics though are the Norwegian “hot pants”.  Every time they came up to curl, comments and giggles (by both kids and adults) would happen.  Then they would show how really good they are!!!!

A few weeks ago Charlotte and I hosted a Radio program where we talked about how to Brand Yourself within a company.

The cool thing that we talked about is the fact that just because you are part of a certain company that doesn’t mean you need to drive a pink car…unless of course you earned that pink car and are yay…so proud.

You can be part of a direct sales company but you still need to Personally Brand yourself!!!

I chose to personally brand myself with “authentic and good customer service” ; in fact, it is still something that I have deep inside of me!  Those of you who have followed me for awhile know that I answer back any direct Tweet on twitter & I will personally answer you back on FaceBook!  That is my integrity!

The Norway Curler’s…..they chose to brand themselves in curling by being the “fun” team…..in fact, you can even find them on FaceBook! And even buy their pants (which are the colors of their national flag!!!) you mite have to wait awhile though…..cause apprently they are SOLD OUT!!!!

So how are you Personally Branding yourself in your Direct Sales/Home Party biz?????

“Where its not just about the Destination, it’s the Journey to get There”

We all know someone who seems to have all the luck! They win all the door prizes, they get all the free stuff, they get to meet all these cool people. They just seem to have the sun shining over them all the time. Who do you know that’s like that?

I can think of a guy I knew from work. I’ll call him Bob. Bob and I both worked for a charitable organization. I also went to college with his wife. This guy was always getting free tickets to cool events, he was always invited to places where he got to hang out with some local or national celebrities. Bob was the guy people were talking about when they said “That guy is SO lucky!” Even his wife was heard saying it frequently.

“where it’s not just about the Destination, it’s the Journey to get there!”

I was looking through some photos on a friends Facebook page and she was showing pictures of her trip in Arizona (which happens to be the state I now live in). If you use Facebook, you will know that people can add comments to peoples status updates and their photos and photo albums. Some of these strings of conversation get pretty long.

The snippets of conversation turned into how dry Arizona is and how dry her skin is getting. All of a sudden there are women throwing out the names of these products they love and what has worked for them, myself included! Some were even posting links to the product for her to see.

Here are all these women… selling someone elses product for them and getting no commission. HUH?

We’ve been asked once or Twice: “What is the best way to get Party Bookings”

Well, there is no short answer to that; however, I’d like to give you a quick tip that can get you Out THERE more!

Go out and get to a Networking Meeting. Find out if there is a “ladies luncheon” this week, perhaps through your local chamber of commerce. Get yourself a ticket and make the “intention” of meeting someone who YOU connect with!

Charlotte and I both love doing this!  We love to meet new people!  We both make it a point that if we Connect with someone, we go out for lunch….meet for coffee.  Develop a Friendship with someone NEW!

The point here is not to “Bug them about your business”; in fact, I recommend that you don’t even bring up your business…..”they will ASK YOU!” At that point, tell them what you do….what YOU Love.

Again, and this is important…..do NOT tell them about your business! Just enjoy your lunch or coffee!!!

Trust me, I’ve had more business over the years just getting to know people in this way.  Your new friend may or may not have a show with you, however they will feel more comfortable knowing that you are truly trying to make a personal connection and not a sales pitch!

What will happen is this:

• The next time you have an open house…your new friend will be more than happy to show up.
• When someone in your “new friends” circle of influence has a need…your new friend will “highly recommend” YOU as the great and wonderful person you are!

I’ve made so many wonderful connections and friendships (and yup extra money too) just by connecting at least once a week with someone new!

Good luck!

& Let us know how this works for YOU!
