Tips

1.  Fix your eyes forward on what you can do.... not back on what you can't change

2.  To encourage party bookings why not offer the hostess one of the cheaper vibes ( which you will have at the party ), the hostess can have the vibe on the night if three people book a party

Place three stars on the vibe and remove one each time a party is booked, its amazing how much the hostess tries to persuade her friends to book when there is only one star left so that she can get her freebie !!

3.  Give each guest / potential customer two business cards, one for her and one for a friend, when her friend books a party give the guest a free sample pack for referring her.

Why not link up with a local pub and share advertising costs ?

4.  The Party Organisers who make a success of their business and the most money always attend their monthly Unit Meetings for new ideas and information.

The ones who don't fail.......

5.  Make a Willy Cake out of a swiss roll for all birthday parties and get all the guests booked in for their birthdays so you can make them a cake too
Advise the hostess if sales are over £300 and paid on the night she will also get a birthday present on the night too ! ( use a product from Specials on the web site )

6.  Make up goody bags with sachets of lube, willy sweets, chocolate willys, keyring etc and hand out at your party if everyone buys. Its a good way of ensuring all guests at the party make a purchase

7.  Post a new recuit information pack to all hostesses just after her party, then on delivery day see if she has had time to read the info and sign her up if possible

Always carry application forms and new sign up documentation in your car !

8.  Hand out catalogues to all the men you know and offer to gift wrap their order if for their partner

9.  Increase your sales !

Get customers to ' adopt ' a rabbit, give them money off as long as they purchase buzz fresh, slide and ride and case

They must promise to look after their rabbit !

10.  There are no strangers within our team, only friends you are yet to meet

11.  When selling your raffle tickets make the prize anything from the catalogue up to the value you have made selling tickets. This is separate to their order and cannot be deducted from it! Perfect for that little something pennies just won't stretch too!

On top of this offer one extra ticket for turning up
One extra ticket for spending over £30
One extra ticket if they pay by card
and a whole strip if they book a party with you in the next six weeks!!

12.  When out canvassing make up little prize draw slips, that way you will have names and numbers of all your contacts from that day. So if they dont book a party straight away you will alway have their contact details

13.  Make up party packs before your parties then whoever books one gets it on the night - other girls will want one too so you get more parties booked that night and it saves you posting them out.!! it works everytime for me!

14.  If you don't like what your getting......

change what your doing.

Remember you can't change what happened yesterday....,

But you can change what happens tommorrow

15.  Why not take a ‘Starter Pack ’ to sell to beginners or first time vibe buyers?, you could also offer them as gifts for girlfriends birthdays, hen night presents etc… it could consist of: Elite rabbit, Batteries, Wipes, Lube, and maybe an erotic novel to. I wrap it in lovely cellophane and they sell really well !

16.  Belief is the ignition switch that gets you off the launching pad !

17.  Ask each Hostess which item(s) she would like to receive FREE, then help her to achieve it by helping her build a F.R.A.N. Guest list and showing her how to collect 'outside orders'.

18.  Treat every Hostess as though she's your only one. Keep in touch, make her feel special, and help her to have a successful Party.

19.  We all work from the same Catalogue and have the same opportunities. Only YOU can make the difference!

20.  For every Bra & Brief set, offer a second Brief / Thong at 30% Discount. It costs you nothing, but improves your Sales, rewards and reputation.

21.  Don't forget … Men can order from the Catalogue. Leave a Catalogue Folder anywhere that men work or gather, especially before Christmas & Valentines.

22.  Fun Recruiting Tip: Get all Guests to write down the person in the room they think would be a good Party Organiser (excluding you!) It's a great compliment, and people are far more likely to join if they are told they would be good.

23.  Get a 'fresh' Booking TODAY. Advertise, Canvass, ask every Woman over 18 you meet.

24.  Air your Kit after every Party and wash it regularly. After all, you wouldn't buy from a shop if the goods were in bad condition or smelled smokey!

25.  Don't be persuaded to play more than 2 Party Games - they don't earn you money! Instead, make sure that your Demonstration is fun, entertaining and informative.

26.  People buy what they see. Make sure you have the more expensive lines in your kit, and your Sales will soar.

27.  'Rotate' your kit to keep it varied and in good condition. Offer discount for purchases from your rail and use the profit to order in alternative Kit Lines.

28.  Keep your demonstration interesting by attending other PO's Parties, asking for mini-Dems at your Unit Meetings and asking for an Area PO Workshop.

29.  Canvass regularly for 'fresh' Dates. Take lots of Canvassing Leaflets / Business Cards, Hostess Incentive flyers and your Diary. DO NOT give out Catalogues unless requested.

30.  Your best Recruit is your Hostess. Plant the seed when you Party Plan (3-2-1) her, and help her to get bookings on the night.

31.  Remember to check for 'specials' on the Website. They change regularly and are great for Raffles, Games Prizes and Booking Incentives.

32.  Carry novelties and seasonal goods as 'after Party sales'. Many Customers like to take something home with them.

33.  Carry plain postcards with your details on, advertising for Party Bookings and Recruits and put them in local Post Offices & stores each time you do a delivery in a new area.

34.  Always use your Guest Book. It is invaluable for spotting potential Recruits and future Hostesses, and a great database of contacts when each new Catalogue or supplement is launched.

35.  Increase your Sales. Always offer batteries, Slide & Ride or Pleasure Gel and Buzz Fresh with every Vibrator sale.

36.  Remember … YOU are the 'shop window' and should therefore always look smart, approachable and professional.
