Ideas for the Holidays
ADD THIS TO YOUR "TWO WEEKS TO GO" to Christmas ACTIVITIES!!
Many women do not want to hostess classes - they barely have time to answer the door. This is a great approach for the busy, professional woman. Have an "on-the-go" appointment, direct her to your web site, and recruit her based on how easy the whole process is. Be open to new ideas - don't get left behind! This on-the-go idea is so exciting!
Here's how it goes. You'll need four Miracle Set bags and a regular-line set of the items listed below. DO NOT USE DEMO SIZE OR SAMPLES! People do not buy from samples; your customer needs to see our beautiful full-sized products You can write off the cost of the regular-sized items as
demo products.
Inside one of each bag put:
1. One each of the three premier fragrances - Bella Belara, Belara, Journey and Affection
2. A Miracle Set which you will do on the backs of their hands . The Miracle Set is a TimeWise cleanser, TimeWise, moisturizer, a Day Solutions and a Night Solution.
3. Satin Hands with directions (again, pull it out of the bag it's packaged in).
Call your customer or prospective customer and tell her you're going to stop by for NO LONGER than 15 minutes. The idea is to tempt, not teach. If you stay longer than 15 minutes she won't want you to come back. Stop on your way home after work.
Say something like, "Mary, can I pop over and show you a couple of thngs you'll love - I only have 15 minutes, but I just have to let you try them!" Only bring two bags at a time - you chose which two.
You can do this with the Limited Edition items too. People do NOT always want to or have time for a class and this gets you in front of your customers. When you get to her home:
1. Thank her for her 15 minutes of her time. Get out a timer and set it for 15 minutes.
2. Have her fill out a survey/profile, while you get the products out.
3. Let her try the products from your two bags.
4. Ask for the sale and referrals for "On-the-Go".
Now, get on the phone, get out and sell!!!! $80 -$120 PER 15 MINUTES is the average "On-the-Go!" Just imagine if you did 3-5/week what your sales would be!
This is a great idea for your new consultants. Let her borrow two of your "On The Go's" for five days the moment you sign her up. The next five days, then lend her the other two. Give her sales tickets and a few Look Books! Get her out selling immediately and she'll see the money and the importance of having inventory on her shelf.
