In Direct Sales - Beat The Summertime Slumps
Ward off the dreaded sales and sponsoring summer slump by adding a little sizzle with the F word FUN!
Customers and prospects are yearning to add a little excitement to their lives especially during the summer. Make sure your shows, parties, and team events deliver an extra element of fun by incorporating creative ideas like these:
Team Bonding BBQ: Create a sense of unity by inviting team members and their families to a backyard BBQ. Have everyone bring a dish to make preparation a breeze and set aside some time near the end to recognize the spouses and children of your team members. Want to add a little humor? Why not present a Frozen Dinner Award to the husband of the team member who held the most shows during the previous month. Take this opportunity to let all spouses know their support is crucial to their partners success. Make the kids feel special by presenting each with a special ribbon. Explain when they help around the house and cheer mom on they are helping to make her business a great success.
Pedicure in the Park: For those of you who offer a line of products that include pedicure items, gather guests around a baby swimming pool in your backyard for a summer time pedicure party! Its fun and unexpected. While they soak their toes in the warm water you can share additional beauty products for the face, hands, and body.
Playtime at the Park: Gather Moms for a product demonstration at a local park or playground. Bring along a teen to help keep an eye on the kids while the moms have a little playtime of their own learning about and buying your products!
Marvelously Memorable: What can you do to ensure your message lingers in your prospects mind long after your presentation is over? One creative member starts her presentation wearing sunglasses (of course she takes them off right away). She explains that her future is so bright, she has to wear shades and cant wait to share why. Its a fun way to share her enthusiasm and sets the mood for a fun and relaxed presentation. She ends the presentation by giving a pair of play sunglasses with a tag attached which has her name, phone number and the following message: Your future can be as bright as mine! Lets explore the possibilities together.
