The Great Hen’s Party of the 21st Century

jewellery asked:

 

The Great Hen’s Party of the 21st Century

(Chanelling the 17th Century)

Recently I went to a Hens party held in Sydney’s Kings Cross. The invitation didn’t say much, only details of the location and a sly quip scrawled down the bottom in pink glitter pen “Ladies come prepared, this is Hens Party with a difference”. Of course I ignored the obvious signs; the way the invitation was folded into the shape of a white china teacup, the fact that my 60 year old mother had too received one, and yes, I made perhaps the biggest faux paus in female social etiquette and failed to consult with any of the other attendees on what they were to be wearing (the eternal heels or comfier alternative debate, cocktail dress or to dressy? You know the drill) on the night.

And so it came to be that on the evening of my work acquaintance’s Hen’s party, I showed up to Kings Cross Station wearing bunny ears, black spandex and excessive lipstick, not really looking forward to the messy shots on the bar and the early morning bar hopping – but expecting it. It was there that I was met by about 20 women from all three generations, grandma’s, mother-in-laws, children and nieces. I had told my mother that ‘she was just being polite, of course she doesn’t really expect you too turn up’. They looked me up and down and I swear I even saw a jaw drop. Let me just say their attire was less flamboyant than mine, pencil skirts, floral dresses, cardigans and broaches. One or two in a cocktail dress, but not an inch of cleavage or knee cap in sight.

It seems I missed the memo. Literally. “Didn’t you get the email!?” someone asked. “The one with the dress code?” No I did not get the email, a technical glitch perhaps? It wasn’t really important why I didn’t get it, what was important was the fact that I was now going to be turning up to the Observatory Hotel for High Tea in spandex.

It seems that Spandex has been replaced by Scotch Bread and Rowdiness by Royal Doulton amongst my group of friends, and I don’t think that they are the unique ones. Either we have, as a sex, grown tired of the late nights, the hangovers, the matching t-shirts and the gaudy accessories, or they have grown tired of us. More and more venues are closing their doors to Hen and Buck parties, realising that the money making potential in drinks could just as easily become furniture damages and a pending law suit. Are we really that bad? It’s rare that girls get the chance to let their hair down and have a little fun. I mean, finding the time to watch Sex and the City is hard enough, let alone having the kind of social life of Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda.

Needless to say, even though I left bright red lipstick marks on all of the china cups I touched my lips to that fateful Hens night; I had a lot of fun. It seems as much as we enjoy donning our dancing shoes and up-ing the bar tab, there is a certain joy that can be found in reverting back to the classical behavior of those glamorously refined ladies we now see only in movies and Jane Eyre novels. The other benefit is that mums can bring their children and children can bring their mums. This saves a lot of uncomfortable conversation when it comes to answering those calls from the mother-in-law wondering why she wasn’t invited to your hen’s WILD NIGHT OF RACHY FUN. After all, the too young issue is easy- if you’re under 18 your not going to get through the front door buster – but who are we to say when someone is too old to take part in that wild and raunchy fun. I know I wouldn’t like to be telling my mother-in-law that!

Home Party Sales is Simple: 4 Strategies to Selling Your Way Out of Recession and Becoming a 6-figure Home Parties Success

jewellery asked:

As a Home Party Consultant, I see and hear the stress and pressure to increase cash flow in your home party business.  Many of you are questioning not only your skills, but also your decision to get involved with a party plan company. Other direct sales consultants who were really raking in the money are now feeling as though they lost the touch!

What separates the struggling, frustrated, heartbroken, cash-poor Home Party Plan Business Owner and direct sales consultants…from the confident, pink Cadillac driving, white Mercedes Benz owning, obviously clued-in home party plans marketers pulling in huge numbers and results EVEN in this chaotic, soul-sucking economy?

(No, wait ESPECIALLY in this chaotic, soul-sucking economy). While average home party business owners are cowering in bed with the covers pulled over their head the top home party sales representatives are still fearlessly bringing home the bacon, even as everyone else panics and freaks out.

People are still buying, the only question is – are they buying from you?

Here are 5 simple, yet powerful tips to help you and me to  sell our way out of this ‘crisis’ and become a SIX-FIGURE home party success!

1) Selling is About Behavior

Success in our home party business is not about being a certain type of personality.  When I talk to other home party and direct selling consultants, their biggest concern is they do not want to be the pushy car salespersons.  I am often told I do not want to sell.  Problem is this is the direct sales industry.  There is a reason it is called home party sales and direct selling.  Because of this fear of selling, there is a common catch phrase we have been taught “you are not selling, you are sharing!”  Might then suggest that with that approach you are not building a successful home bases business, rather you are operating a Non-Profit Organization.  Is it any wonder you are frustrated? The BIGGEST myth in the sales is that  you have to be a certain type of personality to succeed in sales. Sales is about behavior, ANYONE High Performance.

2) Define Relevant Sales Activity

Many home party consultants are a lot like Alice In Wonderland when she meets the Red Queen.  Let me share a little bit about their interactions.

In Lewis Carroll’s Through the Looking-Glass there is an incident involving the Red Queen, a representation of a Queen in chess, and Alice constantly running but remaining in the same spot. The scene is often referred to as The Red Queen’s Race.

The Queen kept crying “Faster!” but Alice felt she could not go faster, though she had no breath to say so. The most curious part of the thing was, that the trees and the other things round them never changed their places at all: however fast they went, they never seemed to pass anything. “I wonder if all the things move along with us?” thought poor puzzled Alice. And the Queen seemed to guess her thoughts, for she cried, “Faster! Don’t try to talk!”

Not that Alice had any idea of doing that. She felt as if she would never be able to talk again, she was getting so out of breath: and still the Queen cried, “Faster! Faster!” and dragged her along. “Are we nearly there?” Alice managed to pant out at last.

“Nearly there!” the Queen repeated. “Why, we passed it ten minutes ago! Faster!” And they ran on for a time in silence, with the wind whistling in Alice’s ears, and almost blowing her hair off her head, she fancied.

“Now! Now!” cried the Queen. “Faster! Faster!” And they went so fast that at last they seemed to skim through the air, hardly touching the ground with their feet, till suddenly, just as Alice was getting quite exhausted, they stopped, and she found herself sitting on the ground, breathless and giddy. The Queen propped her against a tree, and said kindly, “You may rest a little now.”

Alice looked round her in great surprise. “Why, I do believe we’ve been under this tree all the time! Everything’s just as it was!”

“Of course it is,” said the Queen: “what would you have it?”

“Well, in our country,” said Alice, still panting a little, “you’d generally get to somewhere else — if you ran very fast for a long time, as we’ve been doing.”

“A slow sort of country!” said the Queen. “Now, here, you see, it takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!”

Is your home party marketing activity relevant or are you just running around in circles? Does your daily activity produce desired results? If not, determine which activities (i.e. dials, presentations, networking, etc.) produce results. Develop a sales process that strings together the relevant sales activity.

Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.

Thomas A. Edison

In Direct Sales  Dials, Contacts, Presentations, Appointments are all relevant sales activities that lead to Sales Conversions.

4) Focus on Action and The Results  Will Take Care Of Itself

Pareto’s Law (also known as the ice-berg theory of change) dictates that 80% of your results will come from 20% of your efforts.

Your results will naturally continue to be evaluated on the amount of business you bring in. However, without the underlying data on sales activity, results  will be inconsistent. Start tracking them and determine accordingly how one influences the other.  When I talk to direct sales consultants the question will come up what is your closing ratio?  The common pattern that emerges is inconsistency.  Inconsistent action leads to inconsistent results. That there is a direct correlation exists between activity and results is not unknown to you.

Home Party Plan Success Tip: An ounce of action, is worth a pound of theorizing – Emerson.

5) Determine Your Biggest Return On Investment For Home Party Sales & Leverage It

If you do not know where you came from, how can you possibly know proceed?

Do you know which of these 6 types of sales approaches – Telephone,  Trade fairs, Networking, Hostess training, Home Parties & Home Party Demonstrations and Referrals are giving you the biggest return for your time and money?  If your answer is no, we have a problem.   For the next six weeks it will be important for you to track your results based on these 6 sales approaches to see where your money and time will be best spent.  Why you might ask do I need to do this?

Human behavior continues to teach us that people enjoy doing what comes natural to them. Use the sales approach that works for YOU.

Experts say it take 21 days for something become habit. For the next 21 days I encourage you to use the information and you will see results.

See, Isn’t Sales is Simple!
