subject: Six Ways To Get More Send Out Cards Opportunity Presentations That Stick! [print this page] When you book a business opportunity meeting, ideally the further you want to go out is 2 weeks. This is because your new distributors and prospects are really excited to about hearing more of the opportunity. Sometimes a person will insist on having it 3 weeks or even a month later. Go ahead and book it, but make sure that you follow up follow up follow up! Here's what you can do to make sure the best attendance for your Send Out Cards Opportunity Presentations:
1. Save The Date: When booking a meeting, have your newest distributor (the hostess) send "save the date" cards with the time and date of their presentation. Send Out Cards Opportunity cards are available in the card catalog, or you can make your own with PicturePlus 2.0. The last thing you want it for people to forget about the party/meeting.
2. Order Forms, DVDs & Fast Start Guides: When booking an business meeting, be sure to have plenty of training guides and order forms to hand out to their prospects, friends, family member, etc. Because everyone won't be attending the presentation, have DVD's available to hand out to non-attending guests.
3. Motivational Card: The day after booking your new Send Out Cards Opportunity Presentation, get a "Thank You" card in the mail to the hostess. It can be a simple post card or fun custom SOC card. Make sure it again has the date of their party, reminders, and suggestions of people to invite. You may want to even put in a Memory Jogger to help them create their list.
4. Pick up the Phone: Don't forget to follow up with the new distributor a few days before their Send Out Cards Opportunity Presentation to make sure they have all of their materials and answer any questions. Also, see how their guest list is coming along. Encourage your new representative if they are having trouble getting prospects to commit and starts talking about canceling - encourage her to keep the show because you never know who will come even though they didn't RSVP!
5. Offer to Help: Help your new distributor create the best Send Out Cards Opportunity Presentation by getting together and having her listen to you make a few phone calls to some of their friends on their guest list. Of course you don't want to force someone into something, but sometimes a little encouragement goes a long way. Maybe they aren't shy, but just need some help organizing their list and making it easier to get through in a timely matter.
6. Make Other Options Available: If, after doing all of the above, the Send Out Cards Opportunity isn't coming together as planned... encourage another method of presenting the service and business to their prospects. How about a luncheon? An opportunity conference call or webinar (web seminar)? Maybe focusing one-on-one will be better fit for your new representatives business.
LIfe happens, stuff comes up that your new reps can't avoid, so there will be cancellations. But if you follow up, encourage, and help your new rep - you are sure to get more Send Out Cards Opportunity Presentations that stick!
