Party Game Idea

[ladilight]

I was on Jackie Ulmer's call tonight on how to get Party bookings and it was mentioned that you should never lead off your party with the opportunity, company info etc. You should develop a relationship with the guests and have fun. I have a game that I found that can be used later in the party to make discussing the business opportunity more fun. I dont' remember where I found it, but I've used in another business and it is a lot of fun.

Ask Me About My Job


This game is great for slipping in lots of sponsoring seeds as well as having fun! It’s called “Ask Me About My Job”.

Have a roll of tickets (the kind you’d use for a 50/50 draw). Say “For the next 3 minutes we’re going to play ‘Ask Me About My Job’. The first person to come up with a question will get 3 tickets, the 2nd person will get 2 and every question after that earns 1 ticket.” Questions like “How many hours do you work a week?” and “How long have you been doing it?” will start coming at you. Answer them as positively as possible. Ie. “I only work evenings and weekend because I want to be home with my children.” “I’ve been doing this job for 18mos and I’ve never had so much.”

At the end of the Q & A you can either draw for a prize right then and there, or you can tell the guests to hang on to their tickets and do a little more Q & A towards the end of the party (they may have thought of other questions by then).

It’s a lot of fun when the questions start coming in fast and furious… guests try to out-do each other and ask the most questions (they want to be the one with the most tickets) and it’s GREAT for teaching people about your business and how it might benefit them.

Ladilight, thanks for sharing that great idea!

What do you usually have as the prize for that game? Have you had results from it?

I'm excited already!

I have not used it with Mia Bella yet (I haven't had a party with this company yet.) I did have success with it when I held parties for another company that I represented. I ended up with 2 team members from playing that game. My prizes varied depending on what I had in stock, but I never told them exactly what they would win. I felt if they were really excited to just win a prize the questions would be less genuine.
