WAHMs: How to talk to your party plan prospects (Part One)

Question: Are you more attracted to a busy person with much going on or a person who seems to have nothing happening and can leisurely talk on the phone for an hour?     LESSON ONE: Be in a hurry with your prospect. Start your calls or conversations with the hurried stance; you'll find there will be fewer questions and people will respect you and your time.   Here are some "hurried" script examples:   For warm prospects:   ● "Hi! I'm so glad I caught you. I only have a minute..." ● "I'm super busy today, but I wanted to talk for just a minute..." ● "I need to run out the door in a moment for a meeting, but I wanted to call you quickly..."   For cold  prospects: ● "I wish I had more time to get into this with you, but let me quickly tell you..." ● "I need to get to a meeting in a few minutes, but first let me tell you..."   Talking to a person and letting them know that 1.)

Build a strong downline for your home party plan business: 5 TIPS

Build a Strong Direct Sales Downline Team with 5 Simple Tips One of the best parts of being in direct sales is the fact that you can recruit, train and motivate a team that works for you not only building their own little empire, but helping to boost yours as well. It's the number one reason many direct sellers concentrate so hard at recruiting a team of their own. If you are a team leader, you'll find that you must build firm alliances with team members.

Tips to Grow Your Party Plan Business Using Facebook

Here are three tips to using Facebook to grow your business: 1. Use a business page vs. a personal page: Facebook doesn't like you to use your personal page for selling and business-related items.
