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.
