Tips for Hostess Coaching
We challenge ourselves to do better! We compare one month to the next, one year to the next, and we strategize to improve. Being passionate about our goals and working to achieve them is crucial to our success. Just remember that complacency is not consistency. We should strive to keep moving forward every single day. If you are not having conversations and sharing how excited you are about Thirty-One, then you are not moving forward in your business. You have to interact with people - in person, by phone, and online ladies! Listen to them with an open heart and an open mind, then show them just how passionate you are about your life, your business, and Thirty-One!

You’re at the party and during the full service checkout, the guests seems to be “on the fence” about booking a party. They didn’t say no, but they sure didn’t say yes! What do you do? You try to contact them a few days after the party - but get no response. You let them leave the party empty handed - no way to reach you! EEKS! Just like you come prepared with recruiting packets - come prepared with “Think About It” packets too! When your customer says they want a little time to make up their mind about hosting a party - now rather than saying, “I’ll follow up with you next week” you can put a “Think About It” packet in her hands!

[ time to party ] Your ultimate goal when booking a party is to book an in-home party - this gives your Hostess and her guests the ultimate Pink Glove experience! Remember, guests spends 26% more at in-home parties versus other types of party experiences. But, working with your Hostess to create the perfect party experience also means working with her schedule and her needs!

Q&A
best party practices
If your Hostess wants to try out Thirty-One with something other than an in-home party, you should always be accommodating. Here are some pointers to help you help her create a unique and fantastic party experience. Should I take every product I have to a party? For an in-home party, your Enrollment Kit has everything you need to showcase product. You may want to take a few new or popular items as extras to showcase – but keep the display simple. For on-the-go parties, you’ll only want to take products from the chapter your Hostess decides to feature: Just For You, For Your Home, or For Your Family. How much time do I need to set up before the party? In-home party setup should be simple and quick – no more than 15 minutes. When you are
ready to go, be sure to ask the Hostess if there is anything you can do to help her get ready. On-the-Go parties should be entirely portable – you should be able to walk in and set up in under 5 minutes. Who should I share the opportunity with? Everyone! Plant opportunity seeds during the party and have a conversation with your Hostess and each of her guests during full-service checkout. Your hot prospects will likely be excited about and familiar with the product, but they could also be someone who loves the product but can’t afford to make a purchase. Joining your team could be the extra-income opportunity she has been looking for. Should I follow up with guests who did not make a purchase at the party? If you have their information, yes! Make sure to follow up with every guest – you never know who will be your next Customer, Hostess or team member. Follow-ups with these guests can be excellent opportunities to plant additional booking and opportunity seeds. Spending quality party time with your Hostess and her guests is the best way to book, sell and sponsor! ◊
[ sponsoring] Sales are incredibly important, but Building Your Team is where you really grow your business! Think of your business like rowing a boat. One ore is parties and sales, and the other ore is building your team. You must row with both ores to move forward, just like you must equally work both aspects of your business to move forward. Recruiting can be incredibly intimidating; however, if you change your way of thinking on Recruiting, you will see how fun and rewarding it will be, plus your efforts will be highly rewarded. Think of Recruiting as simply sharing. You have an incredible opportunity to share and you should share that gift with everyone you meet. Share The Opportunity With Everyone – Just like with Parties and Hostesses, you cannot prejudge for potential Recruits. You should share the opportunity with everyone you meet. When you see a waitress working hard to satisfy table after table of people - share with her a way to make more money, in less time, while having a lot more fun! When talking to other mothers at the park, share how she too can feel good about staying
home with her children, yet still make a substantial impact on the household income. The possibilities are endless. Remember, the easier you make this business, the easier you will recruit people to join your team. Being organized, prepared, and relaxed will show others how simple it is not only to start, but run their own business. Always follow up – When someone starts asking about the business and giving the “Green Light”, make sure to follow up with her within 24 hours. Like party leads, recruit leads go cold quickly. Recognizing a Green Light! Parties are the lifeline of your business – this is where you will be most likely to find your new clients, your next hostess, and your new team members. At your party you want to always be listening for Green Lights: comments, questions, or statements that are meant to ask for more information about the business. When someone is asking you those questions, they are someone you want to follow-up with and ask if they ever thought about doing what you do? ◊
GREEN LIGHT GO! making the most of
it
Examples of Green Lights • How much money do you make doing this? • How many parties do you do a week? • I need a fun job like yours. • How did you learn to do parties so well? • How did you get into doing this? • What does it cost to start? • How does your family feel about you doing this? • Where do you find parties?
the
importance of
[ business]
hostess packets
One of the most crucial aspects of your business is Hostess Coaching. Nothing is worse than letting something slip through the cracks when it comes to your hostess because you’re not organized. It is essential to have a system in place to keep all of their information organized.
As soon as you get home from a party (or the first thing the next morning): • Transfer all of the hostess information onto a simple 9x13 manila envelope (with the checklist attached). • Transfer the date and time of the party and the hostess coaching appointment into your calendar. • Schedule the follow up calls you need to make to your hostess and her guests into your follow up system.
One super simple way is to use envelopes. This simple envelope gives you a place to keep every single detail you need for each hostess and party. Whether you’re coaching in person or over the phone, everything your hostess gives you, from mailing lists and contact information All of this will take you less than 10 minutes to outside orders, goes into this envelope. and you’ll always know exactly what you’re doing with each hostess and when. Create a simple checklist with spaces for: • • • • • • •
Hostess name Phone number Party format or theme Party place, date and time Guest list and outside order forms Follow up dates Party closing info (order ship date, etc)
Simply tape this form to the front of each new hostess envelope you create - or better yet, print the info directly on it. With this checklist, you’ll never worry that anyone or anything is falling through the cracks.
Create a time on your weekly calendar to check each envelope and note where you are in the coaching process with each hostess so you can incorporate that into your weekly planning. This simple concept acts like a domino effect… the envelope keeps you on track, making it easier to follow up with your hostesses on time, securing their commitment to your party, which will potentially increase party attendance and ensure the overall success of your business. ◊
