4 Challenges of Booking Home Parties

Booking Home Parties can one of the biggest challenges in the Direct Sales Industry. There are challenges in life to just about everything we do and that includes business. Just like everything else, building a home business takes a lot of hard work and that includes coming up with strategic solutions to the many problems you face. One of those problems that you may face is booking home parties, the excuses you may receive and the solutions that you can offer.

These four challenges are what a lot of designers see in their business. The solution I give here is something that you can use to help overcome the problem and turn the negative into a positive.  Let’s see how they help you and your business and in the area of booking home parties.

Tips to Booking Home Parties

Challenge #1 – The people you are talking to tell you they are not the home party type.

Solution – Offer alternative ways for them to host a party. This can be an online party, catalog/book order party or simply give them a free gift or hefty discount if they collect some random orders for you.

Challenge #2 – People are just too busy to commit.

Solution – Offer the busy people a catalog party, basket party or an express party (less than 1 hour in duration). Less pressure and they still get the hostess options too.

Challenge #3 – People say they don’t know a lot of people or are new to the area.

Solution – Offer a jewelry bar to them that has multiple party hosts in a public location. This is a wonderful option that allows two smaller parties to merge as one with two times the fun.

Challenge #4 – People who don’t have a babysitter.

Solution – Include the children in the party and bring along a helper to watch over the kids in another room while you conduct the jewelry bar.

 What to do next when it comes to Booking Home Parties

The more excuses that you can take away from a potential hostess the better your results will be for bookings. Make a list of ones that you hear most often, along with these four and practice your solution so you have it down and can convert the party from a no to a yes.
