Prep Your Host To Sell The Most

Every Scentsy Family Consultant has the honor of providing an excellent party experience to their host. When you take the simplicity of our products and pair it with the artistry and creativity of the design, everyone is in for an amazing experience. You all know that–it’s why you joined the Scentsy Family in the first place. But what can you do to make sure you are really maximizing on the opportunity so consult a party for your host? Well, we designed some postcards that you can print that should help you be able to have a well-prepared and confident host!

In 2012, Kelly & I had the privilege of hosting a Christmas Dinner with our directors, taking time to celebrate the successes of our individual businesses and to laugh together as we enjoyed a break from the busy selling season that was just wrapping up. I had ordered some stuffed mushrooms off the appetizer menu, and Kelly loves mushrooms. When she asked for them, I was a little puzzled, though, because the menu said they contained crab meat, and Kelly hates anything with seafood in it. I assumed she has read through the menu enough to have known that, so I went ahead and handed her one.

“Wasn’t that stuffed mushroom good?” I asked.

“It was awesome.”

“Even though it had crab meat in it?”

Oops.

I was in trouble.

I shouldn’t have assumed that she knew everything I knew about the stuffed mushrooms, and as Scentsy Consultants, we can’t assume that our hosts know everything they need to know to have a killer party. Making sure that they are prepared can help them to maximize on their sales, earn some amazing host rewards, and be itching to host another party as soon as they can.

Here are three benefits to having a well-prepared host:

1. A prepared host will feel more enthusiastic about the party experience.

We all know that positivity and enthusiasm are important to selling great products. Nobody is going to be interested in your product if you are indifferent or negative about it. You are selling your products because you believe in them, and you need hosts who are equally enthusiastic. If your hosts are excited for their party, they will have more customers, more sales, and more host rewards.

2. Preparing your host well will make you feel more confident about the party as the consultant.

People feel more confident walking into familiar situations. If all the questions that your host might have are answered before the party, you and the host are able to fully engage in the experience of the party. You can focus on selling the product, booking more parties, and recruiting more consultants.

3. Doing a good job preparing the host will give you credibility as a sponsor and will increase the chances of recruiting your host.

What did you look for in your sponsor when you joined? Maybe you looked for someone who knew a great deal about the products. Maybe it was because they made you feel valued as a person. Whatever the reasons were that drew you into joining their downline, I’m sure they did a good job communicating with you. Let’s be sure to do everything we can to build credibility with those we come into contact with. If you want your Scentsy Family Business to make a difference in the world, you have to share the opportunity with more than your own household. Recruit as many people you can and learn how to lead them with excellence. As your team grows, your influence will increase, and you will begin to understand how you are changing the lives of those around you for the better.
