BedazzledshariJOnline Training Chat #1: Working For An Incentive Trip 
2/10/02 compiled by Cheryl Johnson
Training Led by Bedazzled & Sixfigure

First of all I want to send out a sincere thank you to Bedazzled and SixFigure for all the help they gave during this endeavor!! We couldn’t have done it without you!! I also want to thank each and every person that showed up and helped too!

Second, for those of you who experienced “technical difficulties”, I am extremely sorry. We didn’t plan on having any problems with the chat room and I sincerely apologize.

1. Have an open mind and a positive attitude, because if you set yourself up to fail you will. Think positively and good things will come. Remember that a positive attitude is contagious. Tell yourself you are going and work towards that!

2. How to get there: Total the points you need to go and subtract the amount you already have. Sponsor 3 in Feb. (3000 pts.) you’ll hit TL (500 more points), sponsor 3 in March (3000 pts) and then you hit UL (5000) points. Remaining points, divide that by your show average (to be practical) and figure out that should tell you how many shows you need to do in the next 6 weeks. If you went to conference last year, add in another 600 points. If you were active in Sept., add in another 200 points. Always keep track of your sales, you never know when someone might make a boo boo and that way you’ll have all the accurate information.

3. Remember that bookings, sponsoring and sales are your keys to success with PL. Some good tips to help with bookings are: Call all the guests on your guest list and tell them you’re trying to surprise their hostess with a 3 booking gift and by booking a show they can be part of the surprise; Book to look envelopes with prizes for those that book a show; have those that are bookings shows pick a date from your calendar, on your calendar place different prizes for booking a show on that particular date. To boost sales, try telling your hostess to find five people to purchase a particular item and she will get that same item free (example: Beartie and Bea). Here’s another idea, bring three gift bags with you. Fill one with 2 empty votive boxes (1 dozen), one with an empty tealight box, and one with an empty jar. If they book a show they get the bag. Tell them when they open it up and see that it’s empty when their show holds, they will get that particular item that was in their bag!! Another idea is to have a PL item wrapped up in really pretty wrapping paper and bows and then put a big #3 hanging off of it. Without fail the guests will ask what this is for. Don’t let the cat out of the bag yet…tempt them with it. At the end of your demo tell them that now you’ll let them know what it is. Tell your guests that three people need to book a show in order to find out what’s inside. Once you have your three (or more) say they’ll book a show, draw names to see who wins. This person will receive that item when they hold their show. (She can open it that night to see what it is.) The others that didn’t win the wrapped prize will get a relax with wax pack or some other prize. In keeping with earning Hawaii, make Lei Votive necklaces and have your hostess wear these. As people say they’ll book a show, they get one of the necklaces.

4. PL offers us incredible tools to use already to help boost sales and bookings. One of them is the door prize slip. An idea to change your questions around on the DPS are these: 1, what item out of the catalog or your display is their favorite item and tell them they have a chance to get it for free!! Everyone’s favorite word!! 2, Ask them to provide you with their e-mail address so you can notify everyone of the current specials and any specials you may personally be offering. Also tell them that you offer a “refill service” and will contact them within the next 2-3 months to check on their candle stash. 3, I ask for constructive criticism about how my demo was and what would they change. 4, Ask them to put down the number 10 if they want to book a show, 5 if they would consider it and 2 if they know of someone else that would like to have a show. I always make sure to tell them if they put 2 then to put their name and number on the back side of the DPS and to please make sure they call their friend first before I have a chance to call them to let them know I will be calling. I also have them put down a 25 if they would be interested in hearing about the PL opportunity. 5, Play the Ask Me About my Job Ticket game and then have a drawing for this game. The PL survey (located on BoB and Tealighted) is also a great tool to use to help boost your business. The Booking Gifts can be a great way to get those bookings on the calendar. Try using this line, “If you book a show, Sally Hostess will get this item for free and you’ll be her friend for life!! Who wants to be a friend for life??” Most people will do anything to help their friends out. Don’t forget to ask EVERYONE that was at the show if they would like to book a party.
