Hostess packets for your Thirty-One business. Keep it SIMPLE! Check out this scope I did on my Hostess packets:
You really need to transition your hostess packet to be extremely simple. Take out all the fluff and noise, and let her see exactly what she needs to see.
I did some fluffed up packets for about 4 months. I spent so much time on these packets. And man were they pretty. They had all the bells and whistles and stickers and novel length fliers and yada yada. But I noticed after awhile that supplies were coming back unused, the packets weren’t even being used, they weren’t buying into the “incentives” I added…and it simply wasn’t worth my time and effort.
So I went back to the basics:
- catalogs
- how to order guide
- opportunity brochure
- 40 guests in 40 minutes
- order forms
- enter my drawing slips
- booking incentive cards
That’s it! And it’s been working like a charm. Bringing back the personal touch and check-ins every week. Mondays, I contact each hostess and let them know how much in orders they have online and ask if they need anything from me (catalogs, order forms, etc.).
I also created a hostess checklist. I sat down and wrote out almost every single step of my hostess coaching. And each Monday I go through each hostess and check this list and do some of the steps below. I highly encourage you to take the time to think about all the steps you want to accomplish (big and small) with every hostess. And get them into a checklist format.
