Catalog Parties: Tips for Success
-Don't offer the catalog party. What you say? I don't ever offer a catalog party, unless the customer suggests it. Even then, I try to talk to her about benefits of a home party to determine if a catalog party is all she is willing to do. When you offer the catalog, you are setting yourself up for no home party bookings. So, do lead with the home party.
-Do hostess coach a catalog party just as you would a home party. Don't give your hostess a catalog and order forms and expect her to know what to do with them.
-Do give her goals and deadlines. She need to know that by being a catalog hostess, she is partnering with you to collect a minimum of 200.00 in orders. Let her know that can be easily accomplished in 4 orders or sometimes less. Do give her a closing date when you need the completed orders and payments and let her know the importance of sticking to the close date to process orders timely.
-Do emphasize to her she is a partner with you and that you are going to help her get to her goal! You can say, "I am so happy you've decided to do a catalog party and earn some great benefits. When you do a catalog party, you'll be partnering with me to collect at least 200.00 in orders. The more orders you get, the more free and half-priced items you'll receive! Let's brainstorm who you can contact to let know you are doing a catalog party (friends, relatives in and out of town, neighbors, coworkers...). What's on your wishlist?" Encourage her to individually contact those on her list and give them a deadline. If she words it open such as "I'm doing a catalog party. Let me know if you if you want to order," she will likely get poor response. She should say, "I'm doing a catalog party to earn some Thirty-One products. Do you know about Thirty-One? They are great! I am submitting all orders on Friday. Would you like to take a look online? I'll follow up with you end of the week.
-Don't give any benefits if she does not get 200.00 or more, because otherwise you are pulling away the motivation to work for you. If she comes to you with less than 200.00, let her know she's off to a great start and help her think of a couple more people to whom she can chat.
I hope that helps a little. The easiest thing to do is to make a cover letter for your catalog parties, explaining these points AND review it with her when she agrees to catalog hostess. I promise you'll have better outcomes with a few tweaks ;)
