Send a newbrochure to your previous hostesses with a note that reminds them you’ve been thinking about them and theirfriends would love to plan an “encore show” with the new 2010 spring and summer catalog collection.Another suggestion would be to plan an individual or a group “Hostess Appreciation” party, and include the newThank You Award brochure with the event invitation.

Keep the show upbeat and your presentationinteresting and fun.A terrific salesperson!Smile! Be friendly and interested in the guests. When aDirector jumps right in and makes herself part of the groupas if she has been a friend forever, it makes everyone more comfortable. Be generous. People love toreceive something for free. Offer little prizes and gifts. Use tickets to reward the guests and hold drawingsfor prizes. Your hostess is counting on you to help make her party a fun experience for her guests. Makeyour hostess happy and she’ll be a repeat hostess in the future.Comfortable…not cornered!Present the idea of hosting a party, but don’t overtly ‘push’. Tempt the guests. Plant booking seeds. Youhave SO MUCH to offer… so much to give! Simply by enthusiastically explaining the magnitude of thehostess rewards and specials and gifts, you will make it hard to say “no” to a show. Watch your presentationstyle. You don’t want to make the guests feel forced or obligated to have a show. Instead, cheerfully offer to“SPOIL” them! Then smile, and confidently ask for the booking.Special ‘goodies’ for the hostess!Make your hostess feel great! Let everything you do and everything you say show that you appreciate her.It’s the little extra gifts…and it’s the way you treat her.

A good opening line to your booking approach could be, “I will spoil you atYOUR party, too…OK?”A Director who cares!Work with your hostess. Make the show a partnership. A hostess loves it when her director asks in advanceif she has a theme in mind, if her guests like games, or if there is anything special she would like to see orhave shown. One hostess said, “I like it when my director asks questions about the people and wants toknow what they would like. This not only scores points with me, it gets me more motivated, more excited.I don’t feel pushed. I feel like the show will best service everyone here; I make sure I triple invite everyonetelling them how great it’s going to be and I even ask them if there are things they want to see. The moreexcited I am, the more people show up!”Ask the hostess questions. Find out what she has in mind. Talk about being partners in the show. This way,she will know what to expect, can effectively promote attendance and will host a show customized to suit theneeds and interests of her friends.We build our business by making friends and building relationships.<strong>MAY</strong> 2010 13
