Yesterday afternoon I had my first party, (not counting my launch party that I did by myself since there are no reps in my area ) and it was a HUGE success! The hostess had almost 300 in outside sales when I got there, 7 people attended and we closed out at $830.00! the women went nuts over the merchandise! I'm so excited, plus I booked 2 more parties. In my first two parties I have 8 bookings and over 1300 in sales!


Ladies take your time and do your homework when researching companies to join. I spent close to two months looking for the opportunity that was "just right" for me, and with a lot of advice and input from the wondeful members of this board, I chose a company that I plan to be with for a LONG time!





Wishing you all the best of luck!

Yeah! Your excitment is catchy!


The key is loving what you do, and finding the right hostesses! Since I've worked on hostess coaching, my party average has upped from $250 - $400, to $500 - $1000. So there are little things you can do.


Your excitement is showing through and you are doing awesome!


Congrats!


Debbie

Thanks girls! I am excited and I have been doing things different this time around ( I've been in direct sales before ) the biggest thing is I ask EVERYONE if they want to book a party...I used to never open my mouth! I agree Debbie...hostess coaching is HUGE!
