What are you all doing to help get your team to hold and submit parties this month?

07-08-2010, 04:31 PM

Was just looking at our cluster calendars for my down line. I know that July is a tough month to not only get a host to book but to get them to hold the party.

I just sent out a newsletter to my personal team and am rewarding them for trying get a winning bingo card. And they get extra $ if they put their shows on the calendar. Also, trying to help them with some of the common issues they face. Hesitations and I even threw in something about children and home businesses. Also an article on booths and exhibits.

Any have any pixie dust that is working?

I am pushing the free trivet and glassware tote. I also so a "Strive for 50, 75 100" drawing at my meetings. I give away $50, $75 or $100 when my personal cluster hits 50, 75 or 100 shows each month. Also telling them they have to be active in June or July to get the changeover kit... ok I exaggerated but they don't have to know that

Oooooohhhhh! I like that one!!!!!!!!

(Is that true?)

Off to e-mail my team!! hee hee hee!

I'm sending out an email the end of this week about the Booking Blitz...encouraging everyone to go back to their list of 100, and also to go through their last several shows and do some CC calls. I'm giving them some word choices to use, and will be encouraging all of them to make one of the shows they book their own show with a New Product Reveal. I'll be getting 2 sets of product this year, so I am going to use one for mine, and then let everyone on my team "check out" (like from a library) the products for their own shows (no one earned over the $1500 level in June)
If they participate in the Booking Blitz, they'll get a gift from me (planning on finding something at Conference). Plus, for every show booked during the blitz, I'll throw one PC $ in the pot, and at our meeting (July 19th) we'll do a drawing - if you booked a show (and everyone should have - since their own show will count!) during the blitz, you can participate in the drawing and win the PC $$!

I'm also going to be encouraging Catalog Shows! Catalog Shows are easy - anyone can do them!

Great ideas!! Thanks so much and keep them coming!

Love the 50/75/100 idea! My team isn't quite there yet, but I may do a $1 per show raffle and each person gets an entry for the number of shows that they did. That way, anyone who was inactive doesn't get to win! LOL

The bare minimum is a $150 show & a $4.50 override, I think I could afford to give away $1 of every $4.50 that I make as an incentive to get them to do more shows!!! And what if some of those shows are not $150, but $1,000 shows?

I sure don't mind giving away $1 to make $29!

Is this just on your personal team or organizational team. I have a 1st and 2nde generation now and I am sure we easily hit this but I would have to modify the amounts awarded. Do they have to be present at the meeting to win? Thanks in advance!

Ann, I wouldn't make them be present to win. But then again, I'm military and so are all my recruits! So we will soon be scattered around the world! LOL But if you do end up getting someone in your cluster who's too far away, it wouldn't be fair to them to perform & not be eligible to join in the reward. You know?

It is my personal cluster for the drawing and they have to have submitted at least 2 shows to be in the drawing, which for me is minimum $300 X 4% +10= $22 income to me per person that is in the drawing. They also have to attend the meeting to be in the drawing. I have people attend just so they can try to win!

I have had an average of 25 people per month active. I have 2 first gen and 1 second gen directors who have their own meetings. I suggest they do a Strive for 25 drawing with the same requirements. 25 shows at $500 average is $12,500 cluster sales, that puts them at the sales level for AD. If they are growing a team and trying to promote out other directors this will cover their next step up the ladder after a director promotes out.
