Are You Down With OPP? How To Be An Organized Party Professionista!

Let’s Talk About The 7 Deadly Sins Of Hostess Coaching… 1. Book a party and do not communicate with the hostess until the day before or day of the party 2. Assume Our Hostess Knows What To Do …… She may have not ever hosted before. Even if she has, it was not with you. Guide her 3. Not Knowing Why She Is Hosting …. Top 3 Reasons people book parties: #3 Had fun with you (you sold yourself) …Chris Cicchinelli always says: You are not just doing another party, you are auditioning for your next party AKA your next paycheck. If you have 10 guests then you have 10 new job opportunities. #2 To help the hostess out…women like to help other women. #1 Free/discounted product …This is why it is so important that we get a wishlist from our hostesses so she knows what she is working towards 4. Rely on only 1 form of communication….College girls don’t even know that there phone makes calls, but must make it clear that you will need to chat on the phone 2 times 5. Allow hostess to run your business…we are responsible for guiding her and not letting her have complete control of the way we run our business. 6. Make it all about you….we all want to make money, but she is inviting you into her home and without hostesses we would not be in business. 7. Assume what you see is what you get with the head count: * Anytime the headcount/RSVP is suffering, we have to get on the phone. Smiley faces and ! are not enough * Prepare your hostess to know that people decide at the last minute if they are going to come. If not, this is about the time that she starts to panic and get discourage because you are calling her a few days before the party asking for a headcount. Work with your hostess and she can double and even triple her headcount 24 hours before. * Chain Game (No Need To Cancel)- Call those 4 people and tell them the person that brings the MOST friends will get a free gift! When they all bring at least 3 people, they will all get something for free!”
