As a home party consultant and direct sales consultant for a home party plan or direct sales company, it is rather important that you learn how to market your business, find recruits and hostesses, because  Home Party Business is booming, just ask Warren Buffet, the richest man in the world and oh by the way he own three home party companies e.g., Pampered Chef!

Marketing through home parties and home party sales has been be identified as one of the most effective methods of marketing with business opportunity companies.

Home party companies place many restrictions on their home party consultants and direct sales reps. when it comes to marketing!  And yet many are seeing wonderful results

But what separates the struggling, frustrated, heartbroken, cash-poor Home Party Plan Business Owner and direct sales consultants from the confident, pink Cadillac driving, white Mercedes Benz owning, obviously clued-in home party plan marketers pulling in huge numbers and results (EVEN in this chaotic, soul-sucking economy)?

(No, wait ESPECIALLY in this chaotic, soul-sucking economy). While average home party business owners are cowering in bed with the covers pulled over their head the top home party sales representatives are still fearlessly bringing home the bacon, even as everyone else panics and freaks out!

Have you ever wondered how the top earners in your direct sales home party company got to be so successful while you struggle every day to build your organization? 

I can tell you this:

It’s not because they’re any smarter than you are

They don’t work any harder (in fact, they work LESS)

And it’s not because they’ve spent thousands of dollars on high priced

seminars (although I highly recommend you attend the ones I hold and I

they will be reasonably priced ?)

The reason behind their success, get this, is the fact that they implement a system!  I know seems so simple huh!

Home Party Marketing Tip: Create Systems That Will Do The Bulk Of The Work

I practically famous for this quote:

“95% of people fail when they start a business without a system.

95% percent of people are successful when they start a business with a system!

- Entrepreneur Magazine

A system constitutes a set of connected things or parts forming a complex whole, in particular a set of things working together as parts of a mechanism or an interconnecting network. It spells:

S-ave

Y-our

S-elf

T-ime &

E-nergy

M-oney

If your home party plan system involves the 3-foot rule, list of 100 or more, hotel meetings, 3-ways, everyone with a pulse is your prospect, then repeat after me: time to re-group!  Those are all methods, functions and/or processes, not systems.

Systems are able to run with very little human involvement.  Think about all the systems in your body.  Do you have to manually pump your heart to get it to force blood to the rest of your body?  As I’m typing this report, I don’t have to think about the position of my fingers on the keyboard, or lifting them up and down.  My nervous system takes care of that for me.  Think about how long it would take to create this eBook without the assistance of the systems in my body.  Hint:  you wouldn’t be reading it right now!

Just like your body, your home parties business needs systems to function, grow and defend itself from outside forces that mean harm.  So get a system and put it to use right now!

And I belive I have just the thing for you, The Little Black Of Home Party  Plan Marketing Success is system like none other, provides tips on how to generate ongoing  home party sales and some of the best ways to promote yor home partys business!

As a Home Party Consultant, I see and hear the stress and pressure to increase cash flow in your home party business. Many of you are questioning not only your skills, but also your decision to get involved with a party plan company. Other direct sales consultants who were really raking in the money are now feeling as though they lost the touch!

What separates the struggling, frustrated, heartbroken, cash-poor Home Party Plan Business Owner and direct sales consultants…from the confident, pink Cadillac driving, white Mercedes Benz owning, obviously clued-in home party plans marketers pulling in huge numbers and results EVEN in this chaotic, soul-sucking economy?

People are still buying, the only question is – are they buying from you?

Here are 5 simple, yet powerful tips to help you and me to sell our way out of this ‘crisis’ and become a SIX-FIGURE home party success!

1) Selling is About Behavior

Success in our home party business is not about being a certain type of personality. When I talk to other home party and direct selling consultants, their biggest concern is they do not want to be the pushy car salespersons. I am often told I do not want to sell. Problem is this is the direct sales industry. There is a reason it is called home party sales and direct selling. Because of this fear of selling, there is a common catch phrase we have been taught “you are not selling, you are sharing!” Might then suggest that with that approach you are not building a successful home bases business, rather you are operating a Non-Profit Organization. Is it any wonder you are frustrated? The BIGGEST myth in the sales is that you have to be a certain type of personality to succeed in sales. Sales is about behavior, ANYONE High Performance.

2) Are You Pursuing Relevant Sales Activity

Many home party consultants are a lot like Alice In Wonderland when she meets the Red Queen. Let me share a little bit about their interactions your sales activity relevant? In Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking-Glass there is an incident involving the Red Queen, a representation of a Queen in chess, and Alice constantly running but remaining in the same spot. The scene is often referred to as The Red Queen’s Race.

The Queen kept crying “Faster!” but Alice felt she could not go faster, though she had no breath to say so. The most curious part of the thing was, that the trees and the other things round them never changed their places at all: however fast they went, they never seemed to pass anything. “I wonder if all the things move along with us?” thought poor puzzled Alice. And the Queen seemed to guess her thoughts, for she cried, “Faster! Don’t try to talk!”

Not that Alice had any idea of doing that. She felt as if she would never be able to talk again, she was getting so out of breath: and still the Queen cried, “Faster! Faster!” and dragged her along. “Are we nearly there?” Alice managed to pant out at last.

“Nearly there!” the Queen repeated. “Why, we passed it ten minutes ago! Faster!” And they ran on for a time in silence, with the wind whistling in Alice’s ears, and almost blowing her hair off her head, she fancied.

“Now! Now!” cried the Queen. “Faster! Faster!” And they went so fast that at last they seemed to skim through the air, hardly touching the ground with their feet, till suddenly, just as Alice was getting quite exhausted, they stopped, and she found herself sitting on the ground, breathless and giddy. The Queen propped her against a tree, and said kindly, “You may rest a little now.”

Alice looked round her in great surprise. “Why, I do believe we’ve been under this tree all the time! Everything’s just as it was!”

“Of course it is,” said the Queen: “what would you have it?”

“Well, in our country,” said Alice, still panting a little, “you’d generally get to somewhere else — if you ran very fast for a long time, as we’ve been doing.”

“A slow sort of country!” said the Queen. “Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!”

Does your daily activity produce desired results? If not, determine which activities (i.e. dials, presentations, networking, etc.) produce results. Develop a sales process that strings together the relevant sales activity.

Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing. Thomas A. Edison

In Direct Sales Dials, Contacts, Presentations, Appointments are all relevant sales activities that lead to Sales Conversions.

3) Focus on Action and The Results Will Take Care Of Itself

Pareto’s Law (also known as the ice-berg theory of change) dictates that 80% of your results will come from 20% of your efforts. Your results will naturally continue to be evaluated on the amount of business you bring in. However, without the underlying data on sales activity, results will be inconsistent. Start tracking them and determine accordingly how one influences the other. When I talk to direct sales consultants the question will come up what is your closing ratio? The common pattern that emerges is inconsistency. Inconsistent action leads to inconsistent results. That there is a direct correlation exists between activity and results is not unknown to you.

Home Party Plan Success Tip: An ounce of action, is worth a pound of theorizing – Emerson.
