Home Party Sales Down? Get Some Training!

So many sales consultants think that they do not have to go to training meetings.  Meetings are the key to party plan success. Direct sales training is necessary for anyone wishing to work in the home party business. Companies who want their independent sales consultants to be successful typically offer their consultants ongoing opportunities to learn and thrive. Product knowledge, lead generation, and effective promotional methods need to be a part of home party consultants’ training. Each of these areas will be discussed in detail below.

Consultants Know Your Direct Sales Products!

To begin, home party consultants need to be vigorously educated about the products that they will be selling. Having an elaborate party with food is fruitless if a salesperson is not very knowledgeable about his or her products. Those attending the parties are sure to have detailed questions about products as well as return policies, discounts, etc. To this end, the company employing independent consultants typically provides product training in the form of DVD manuals and online sessions.

Find Direct Selling Leads – Get Bookings!

Salespeople are provided with techniques to help them get more people at their shows and to grow their mailing lists.  There is an unlimited supply of business out there  and you just need to know where to look and how to find party plan bookings! To provide an example of this, salespeople could be encouraged to hand out surveys at the end of their parties which ask attendees if they would like to be part of a mailing list. These repeat customers should be marketed to and encouraged to bring people to future parties. They should also be given incentives to host parties of their own.

Last but not least, party consultants should be trained in effectively using different promotional methods to market their product parties. For example, the companies that provide the products usually offer their consultants the use of websites either for free or for a small fee each month. These websites contain a lot of useful features, including the sending out of automatic emails with hyperlinks to the sites, which aid in promoting the consultants’ parties and products.

Party Plan Team Training Meetings

It is imperative that you attend your party plan company team training meetings.  One of the biggest mistakes that most direct sellers make is not going to their team meetings. In conclusion, it is critical for home party consultants to receive direct sales training. The training typically involves discussions on product knowledge, lead generation, and effective promotional methods.

I love asking…

Have you ever thought about working from home?

I use this line all the time at the parks and places I am hanging out with my kids.

Simply start the conversation with another mom…

Do you come here often?

Which kids are yours?

Then bridge the conversation into…

Do you stay at home with your kids?

When she asks, What about you?

You say…

Yes, I am so fortunate, I have a business I work right alongside my children and our activities and create extra income for my family. Have you ever thought about working from home?

I have to go to the dentist today so I’m gonna try and talk to someone there and then I’m stopping at the park again today to meet some more moms! We have about 45 minutes between appointments today so we are gonna sneak in a park visit. Everyone wins! My kids are happy to go to the park and I’m happy cause I never know who I am going to meet.

Who are you going to meet today?
