Network Marketing Training- The Secrets to In Home and Party Plan Meetings

source: Ezinearticles.com

In Home meetings (Private Business Receptions) and Party Plans are a
great way to introduce your new MLM business to your warm market, and
of course, there is a right way and a wrong way to do them.

What is a Private Business Reception (PBR)?

It
is when you invite people over to your home and have a
“social-business” network marketing meeting for about an hour or so,
and dispense information to your friends about your mlm business and
products and services.

It is a powerful way to create some
“instant success” in your business right off the bat, and you can sell
a lot of product at a home meeting, or as some companies call it, a
"party plan" or a “home party”.

Network Marketing has used this
strategy for years, and has proven to be a successful venue for your
business. Mary Kay has used it for years, as well as Beauticontrol,
Amway, Jafra, NSA, New Vision, Vision for Life, and many others as well.

INFERNO Secret:

At
a Private Business reception, or In Home Meeting, you can talk to many
people at once, which is more EFFECTIVE than doing all one on one
network marketing appointments.

If you are going to be talking to people, why not talk to them in groups?

INFERNO Secret:

One
of the biggest secrets to wealth in MLM…talk to the majority of people
you talk to in groups, whether it is a PBR, or Business Opp meetings,
or Conference Calls. It multiples your time.

Why do a PBR?

1)It is Comfortable.

Most people who you know wouldn’t mind coming over to your home and seeing a short business presentation to help you.

2)It is Convenient.

Many
hotels are out of the way to many of your friends, and normally,
driving to a friends home is not sn ‘out of the way” thing…

3)It creates a very “familiar” environment for business.

Your friends who have been over at your home before, will see this as something that is “familiar”, and warm.

4)It creates a great ‘Social” Focus as well.

Everybody
likes to socialize, and we as humans are social creatures for the most
part. This can be fun and even exciting if done well, and it has food
involved as well.

I have done numerous (hundreds) of PBRs and let me tell you, they not only were fun, but we wrote business out of them.

OK.

What do you do?

A)Decide who you want to come.

Make a list of the people you truly would like to have at your network marketing meeting, and create a list of about 30 names.

B)Send them Invitations.

Send
them an invitation in the mail about your meeting, at least 2 weeks
before it happens. For example, a rep for a nutrition company would
send something like this:

“You are cordially invited to a Private
Business Reception at my home on Wed. the 22nd, to celebrate the
opening of our new business in the Healthcare Industry.

You will
learn how important Healthcare is today for our personal lives, and
also how to take advantage of a Trillion Dollar industry that is
growing rapidly.

It starts at --------pm, and will end in about an hour. Food and drinks will be served and there will be prizes given away.

RSVP.

This
invite is short, to the point, and tells them what it is all about.
There are many ways to write an invitation, check with your sponsor to
see what he/she recommends.

C)Buy the food and drinks for the Reception.

Don’t
over do it. Sodas and finger foods are nice, and all that is really
needed. This is NOT a banquet, but a nice reception to celebrate your
mlm business. NO ALCOHOL. This is a business meeting.

D)Follow up with a phone call.

“Hello
Nancy? This is Doug, I need your help on something. I recently sent you
an invitation to a reception at my home, and I am following up because
I really need you there. Can I count on you being there for me?”

INFERNO Secret:

KEY
Phrase: ”Can I count on you being there for me?” will double your
attendance at your meetings, as most people id they know they are being
counted on will show up.

E)Make sure all Audio Video Equipment works…

That is self explanatory.

F)Greet them when they arrive with either a gift or food.

Make
them feel welcome and many folks have given away book markers, or
anything along those lines as a “Thank you” for coming. Food works as
well.

G)Have a social time of about 30 minutes prior to the meeting.

Introduce your friends to those they don’t know and make sure people are eating and drinking a drink.

INFERNO Secret:

Have a “Host’ Mentality. Be the host and make sure everyone is comfortable.

H)Do a short 20 minute presentation on the Company, Products, and Comp plan. Check to see what your company has available.

Make your presentation fun and informational. Ask a lot of questions to your attendees, and don’t sell, but simply tell.

I)After
the presentation, hand out the “PBR Profile," say “I need your help. I
would like for you to try our products, and also we are looking for a
couple of people to partner up with to help introduce our program to
this area. You may know someone that could use a secondary revenue
source of an extra $1,000-2000 a month. Please fill out the form I just
gave you. There are 5 questions.

Name__________________________________

Telephone_____________________________

Email_________________________________

“Do you like the idea of (Whatever the benefits are of your products)

“Do you know someone who could use and extra $1,000 a month without changing anything they are doing?”

“What part of what you have seen tonight did you like the best?”

“What product do you believe will be the most popular?”

“Can you see yourself or someone you know becoming successful in something like this?”

This profile will help you ascertain who truly has an interest and doesn’t in network marketing.

J)Hand out the Information Packets.

These simply contain brochures, audios and any other information piece you think they need…

K)Socialize again and answer questions, and set follow up appointments.

Ask -- ”Which part did you like the best?” And then set up times to follow up one on one…

INFERNO Secret:

Have a few of your closest friends people bring a drink or chips. This will insure they are there and this works every time…

Also, understand the “ Law of No shows."

You
will have about 60-75% of the people that swear they will be there, not
show up. Expect it. It is human nature, and it’s par for the course for
a PBR. I am speaking from experience.

Yes there are exceptions, and pray you have 40% show up. WHAT A PROBLEM TO HAVE!

So.

If you want 10 people to show up, invite 35-40, and you should have about that many show, and be thankful they do.

Follow up with the no shows and simply say,”I still need your help. When can we get together for 15 minutes?”

There
are many ways to do a PBR and In Home Meeting. This is just one way,
but a PROVEN way to write a lot of business in MLM and Network
Marketing.
