Home Party Plans Tips For Marketing : Deadly Home Party Business Mistake

Do you know that the average person spends 83% of their time in a day communicating? A lot of good that is doing us, because 95% of communication is non-verbal…no wonder we get mad and angry a confused. To much input that we must interpret and which we do incorrectly! World peace anyone?

How does this relate to your home party business? How can a direct sales consultant benefit? Simple. Successful home party business owners are leaders go from communicating to connecting! Remember the discussion about what Oprah can teach us about direct sales and home parties success?

The reason home party sales e hard for you to come by is the fact that you are telling them more than they can assimilate (digest and process)

Verbal Diarrhea , is it a turn on or turn off?
It goes without saying, TURN OFF! Most home party consultants are frustrated by the progress of their business because they either over sell, out talk or force themselves into a sale!

I have been working on a home party plan project of great proportions. As part of this project, I have been doing lots of marketing and testing.

As a result, I get so many calls. In fact at the compilation of article, I was interrupted by the phone ringing. Sure enough, another over eager home party sales rep, with a product like none other, company expanding all over the world, me, myself and I blah blah blah…never once was I asked anything about me, what I want and if I had any interest in what they offering. And to put the icing on the cake, she kept pushing me to meet her the following day at The Crowne Hotel for a 45- minute presentation. This after I clearly stated I was not interested and I would not be showing up. Then she offered me samples, then she decided that she wanted to take me out for lunch and pick my brain.

As you can probably tell it was all a muddled mess and it is no wonder many are missing out on home party sales!

Problem is…if you guessed I am not a qualified prospect, gold star for you!

It’s like the guy who takes you out on a date and really believes that a no is a yes, and we all know how that ends up.

I hate it when people go on and on and on about nothing. If am interested in losing weight, why do I need a half our exposure to the baby line? It’s like the person that gets on the podium with the promise of keeping it short and sweet. Well after hearing that more than I care to remember I know I am going to be snoring in a matter of minutes. When you do your research, and target your market and know your audience, and provide the best-fit solution, you cannot help but see an increase in your home party sales and bookings.


Party Plan Pat’s Success Tip: SLOW down!

* S - Speaking (which is more than just talking)

* L - Listen (which is more than just hearing)

* O - Observe (which is more than just seeing)

* W- Write, (which is more than just scribbling)

I am Party Plan Pat, the author of Home Party Plan Success Tips a blog for those in direct sales marketing. 10 Deadly Home Party Plans Business Mistakes The Little Black Book Of Home Party Plans Success Secrets I was once a struggling home based business owner, in the direct sales home party industry. When I started I had zero skills - no sales skills, no marketing skills, no confidence, no direction, no warm market, a shoestring budget that I wasted instantaneously. I had no clue, neither did my uplines. I did what most other people do, jump from company to company only to have the same results! One day I took a long hard look at the facts. The companies kept changing, I kept experiencing failure and I blamed everyone except me. It wasn't the company, it wasn't the compensation plan and people didn't suck. It was me! I realized what most home party consultants and direct sales representatives do not realize; direct selling is the business of marketing! Regrettably, many of us who pursue this industry have no idea how to market or promote our home based business. I quickly learned implement a system and Work Smarter!

I plan on cold calling & mailing information to each business. It also gave me time to research the industry more, talk directly to the owners in many cases, and learn more about what they need. Jeff
