I need suggestions on getting people to book parties. I am a DM and I feel like I have gone through all of my friends and family. No bookings from my last class. Any suggestions?

Well, I am new, so you'll have to take just about anything I say with a grain of salt. smileys/smiley36.gif But my plan of action is to conduct 1on1's for now. Just to get people using the products. After they have been happily using the products for at least a month or so, then I'm going to ask if I can help them shop at 80% off by sharing Arbonne with a couple friends at an Arbonne presentation. So if you've been doing classes, maybe you could go back to some of the guests who purchased, give them a customer care call to see how things are going, and then ask for the booking or referral. If you obtained a guest list for the classes, you could even contact the people who didn't attend. You wouldn't them to miss out on Arbonne! And you can share it with them in just 20 minutes, whenever it's convenient for them. ?????????
I don't know, I honestly don't know. smileys/smiley9.gif But I'm trying! smileys/smiley36.gif I hope you're able to get some better advice.

Great suggestion Leah!
The call I listened to last night with Hannah Dugan concentrated on 1 on 1's and when she decided to transition to them, she didsomething similar...she called all of her wb & set up appointments with as many as possible.

I think your right on Leah! I am still somewhat new to my area and I am relying heavily on my previous guest lists from the parties I already had. I have gotten one on ones and parties from people on the list who couldn't attend the party. Also, great point about calling after the client has been using the products for a bit. One of my results approach clients at first was hesitant about giving referrals and said no to any parties. Now that she has been using the RE9 for a couple months now, she is excited to give me referrals and is even questioning about parties.
I am going to be doing some craft fairs over the next month. Look in the local papers for school, church, or community fairs. They are usually really cheap to participate in. I am paying $10 for a table for one, and $6 for another. I am just trying to get arbonne out and my name attached to it!
So, definetly go over your past guest lists and call the no-shows to see if they would like to sample the product; call your current clients and get more referrals! I am doing the same thing at this time since I had a very small warm market to begin with! Good luck!
