Perfect Start/Power Start Dialogue

Hi_________, this is____________, I'm really excited about something, do you have a quick minute?  Great!  I've just started my own business teaching skin care and make-up artistry with Mary Kay Cosmetics.  As part of my training I'm going to be pampering 30 ladies to a facial in 30 days.  I could really use your help.  What I would love to do is pamper you and a couple of your friends and family to a facial and makeover, and as my thanks, you'll receive a special gift.  Isn't it fun to receive gifts!  Grab your calendar; let's set a date.  Which would be better for you, beginning of the week, or end of the week?

Turning a Facial Into a Class

(After you have scheduled a time say) You know, _______, I have a great idea! We have a plan where you can receive your own cosmetics practically as a gift.  Would that interest you?  (wait for her response to say yes)  It's just as easy for me to give three or four facials at one time, as it is to give one.  And I know you'll be telling your friends about this.  Why don't you invite them over?  You'll earn even more free product for yourself, and you and your friends will have a lot of fun.  Either way I want you to know that I am coming for you.

Tentative Date Booking Approach

When someone at a class shares that they are not sure they could book because they dont know their calendar, or if their friends could come, you say this:

Well, why dont we do it this way.  Im sure you would like the hostess to get credit for your appointment, right?  Lets set a tentative date, with the understanding, that if we need to change it we can, OK? As soon as you set a tentative date, it ceases to be tentative because you are going to coach it as a firm date.

Correct Booking Approach

At every skin care class I always select several ladies that I would most like to have as my future hostesses, and today I've selected you because (compliment her: you are so outgoing, you look great in the product, you are so much fun).  Tell me when we get together for your follow-up, is there any reason why you couldn't share it with friends, I think you'd be a terrific hostess.

Correct Booking Approach

You know, _________, at every skin care class I choose two women I want to work with most.  Today you are my first choice.  Do you know why?  Because you were the most excited person here - and Mary Kay always tells us to pick the sparkler because she ignites the room!  I love to work with excited people.  When we get together either for your check-up facial after you get started on your basic skin care, or for you to be in my makeover portfolio, why not share your appointment with a couple of friends?  I really want to work with you, _________.  It is obvious you had a great time tonight.  When is the best time for us to get together again, next Tuesday or Thursday?
