Recruiting Party Plan Reps: How to get them excited to join your team
--PART TWO ON OUR RECRUITING SERIES--
Question from a reader:
My biggest obstacle is recruiting. I can get people that are somewhat interested but I almost always lose them along the way. How to lock in the deal is something I'm very interested in.
How do you make them stick?
Most people will have fairly good results getting people interested in joining them at a party, but then a couple days later when they follow up, they get a "No, not right now."
What happened? Where did that enthusiasm go?
Life got in the way.
So, how to get them to join while they are still HOT? That sounds easy, right? Just sign them up at the party. Then they are in.
But sometimes even this isn't so easy. They want to think about it. And you know what happens whey they think about it. (Insert sad face here.)
The best way to get them in and get them happy about it is to offer an incentive. Even if you cannot give them a discount for joining, you can give them a nice gift or even better...a nearly guaranteed kick-start so they can start earning money immediately.
Think about it...If you could offer someone the opportunity PLUS a party to work, and a way to get more bookings and sales fast, wouldn't that be something special?
If you could train them with a proprietary way to get bookings, get online sales, get immediate income...but only if they join with you now...wouldn't you?
"But I already know all that and I still can't get them interested," you say.
But here's the thing: Maybe you don't. But if you could get them a system that works consistently for bookings, sales and team building, wouldn't you promote that? And wouldn't it make them more interested? If the training was worth hundreds of dollars and guaranteed?
Imagine if you could offer your opportunity PLUS two parties for your team to work, plus training to start bringing in online sales to their own network of friends and family within just a couple of weeks...enough to pay for their investment and then some...wouldn't you?
That's where your advanced training comes into play. You may have all the mentors, teachers, and programs you need, but do you have a consistent program yourself to follow to get those kind of results?
Results you can not only see yourself, but show others...and show them how to get them, too?
This is where learning how to develop a solid booking program that consistently yields bookings and sales events comes in. Also, it's not just bookings, but also how to work those bookings, what to do with the leads, how to follow up, create a monthly system that starts bringing in 2 or 3 times the profits each and every month.
The programs you choose are up to you, but the key is to get a program that works for you (not a patchwork system with a little of this and a dab of that), but a true-blue system that shows you every month what to do and when to do it!
This is something you can show your potential team members and create so much excitement that they join and don't think twice. Only when you can show solid results (and how they can do it, too), will you start seeing your recruiting numbers jump!

Step One: Recruiting Party Plan / MLM Reps
STEP ONE:
Obviously people need to know about your and your business and the best way to do this is to have an event or home party. Calling people out of the blue is a time-waster and many resent it (wouldn't you?).
You need to get warm leads...leads that know your face.
The best way to do this is to get in front of folks, especially those interested in what you've got. The way home party plans have operated for years is to recruit at parties.
This is great except for one thing: You're really there to make your money. You've put in the time, effort and expense to arrange the party, follow up, get your inventory/samples/brochures, etc. and be there smiling and ready to present. Right?
So should you take time away from your selling time to do this? Of course not.
So how do you make both work?
You can either finish your party and let everyone know you are holding a short Career Preview
right after and if they are interested, they can stay and learn how much they can earn with you.
Or...you can schedule meetings and calls for another time.
Either could work, but you should play around to see what feels best for you and what seems to work the best.
If you take time away from your sale period, you will likely lose out on sales = less hard cash in your pocket. By working a "Career" option at another time, you'll make the most of your sales time and still get your recruiting efforts in.
Regardless, what's the ONE thing to do after your shows?
Follow up! It's what is most forgotten and a simple follow up call or email can go far in getting you more order, referrals and a great rep as a stellar seller!

How to Recruit More Home Party Plan Reps in the Slow Economy
Do those ANTs go through your head about your business?
Automatic Negative Thoughts is what they are, and they are killers!
You know the ones:
If I were smarter/richer/more energetic, I'd be successful!
If I could talk to people easier/be fearless/network more, I'd have a big team/make more money/be set for life...
We all have them.
They prey on our brains.
However, keep in mind...despite this economy, it can be tough to get bookings, and in this world right now, people are not apt to want to pull our their wallets and buy non-necessities (no matter how great you feel your products are). Things that don't put food on the table aren't really bouncing around in a happy fashion.
And yet, especially in a sluggish, insecure, bummer economy, we need our little businesses and the world needs what you have to offer! Why? Because not only does it keep us hopeful and alight, it keeps everyone else the same.
For example, if you have a party and bring joy and fun to women who participate for two hours, teach them something, show them something new, it helps to lift everyone out of the doldrums of life. And...if you can pass that along with the chance for them to do it for others...well, imagine the happiness just one little party can possibly bring overall!
When you're feeling down about your business and its potential, remember this: You bring fun, happiness and positivity to the world...even if it's only a few people at a time. Get THAT point across at your parties and you'll not enjoy it more yourself, you'll see a rise in recruiting.
We all want to make ourselves happy and bring happiness to others (or at least, we should). This is one way you can put it into practice right now.

Extraordinary Prospecting to Recruit Party Plan Reps
Extra - Ordinary
Prospecting - Keep Your Eye on the Ball
Prospecting is like a game of tennis, it is full of strategy if you know what you are looking out for. A good tennis player knows exactly the next possible moves his opponent will take. So is the same with prospecting. A professional sales person when calling over the phone, Never Assumes. It could be the CEO or his or her spouse or partner. You can never tell.
In my early days of Sales I made some massive mistakes in regards to assuming. One of the worst ones that I will admit to (but don't tell anyone) I was working in the UK. I thought a potential female buyer was pregnant when actually she was just overweight. I asked her, "When are you expecting". She looked at me a little strange. My saving grace was my quick thinking. I answered her, "When are you expecting to go back to the States."
To this day I still don't know whether or not I got away with it. I didn't receive a slap so that is always a winner. She just kept talking and said when she was returning back home. Do yourself a favour quickly, never assume! You can blow so many sales on just one little assumptive comment. The only time you should assume is when you are using it as a tool to say gain a commitment when you are closing.
One of the biggest annoying mistakes you can make is not confirming all the important details like the address and contact details. Get as much info here as you can because there is nothing more frustrating when you get lost or are running late, not having the right contact numbers.
Also, it is very important that you spell their name right. I think you would agree that when someone spells your name, it is nice when you don't have to correct them. It is also nice when you know how to pronounce those difficult names. Check if you have the pronunciation right. It is wise to check it all at the start, so you have it right the first time.
Always try to leave the conversation with trivia. This sets you up for the next time you call so you have something to talk about to quickly build rapport with them. If it is Friday, ask them if they have a busy weekend. Then ask them if you have to call back Monday if the weekend ended well and did they get to that concert or get to go away like they where planning.
You also need to have an idea where the next ball is coming from potentially. when you have a lot of potential sales appointments booked You must keep prospecting. Sales and business are very finicky, one week you can have a full diary of potential buyer appointments and the next none at all. The only way to keep those appointments and sales coming, is to continue in daily prospecting and not letting up until you get the appointments for the day.

The ONE thing you must do first
Recruit Party Plan Reps
ONE STEP...
ONE STEP...
There is truly just one step you need to make...FIRST, before you can truly start seeing tangible success. You have to decide what you want. That's it.
OK, you're probably thinking, this is dumb. Of course, I know what I want...I want money, success, freedom! Yes, I know, but of the three (out of many you could have on your list, which is numero uno?
Do you want money more than anything? Is the freedom for your schedule more important. Is true, BIG TIME success the one you choose? See, if you say you want all three, you'll go into scatter-ville. Trust, I've been there and still visit often.
You know what I mean...you do this, and that and never really get anywhere. But if you know you want money, then you need bookings and to get your product in the hands of customers who will buy. That is your first priority and you shouldn't get fuddled up with other things...they will come. First, make the money do what you need to make the money.
If your schedule is your choice, then you won't concentrate on tons of bookings which will suck up your time. For a schedule person, you may wish to concentrate on an online business; one which will allow you to work from anywhere at anytime. There are different things you'll do for that.
An on it goes...see what I mean about choosing what you really want as your first step? It will drive you down the most important road and make you focus on what you truly want. And when you start getting what you truly want, you'll be happier, more driven and utlimately, more successful!
