Success from Mediocre Parties!

Mediocre Parties getting you down?  Want to have HUGE parties with lots of Qs sign-ups, and tons of people signing-up to become new consultants at your parties like the Platinum’s do?  Well, guess what?  They don’t have those kinds of parties either!   Is that depressing?  It shouldn’t be.  Sherry Bower shared an “Ah-ha” moment with us in one of her presentations.  (And let's just say it was an ah-ha moment for me too!)  After a particularly bad party and after driving over an hour for that horrible party, Sherry wanted to give up.  She started thinking, “Why do I keep doing this?  This is a huge waste of my time and it’s not worth it.”  Then she had the realization that her whole business had been built on mediocre parties.  It was very rare that she had one of those HUGE parties that are more of a fluke than a reality.  You know - those parties where someone comes up and asks, "Can I sign up for a $500 Q?"  It was effort and consistency that had built her business up!  (She was a Platinum at the time!  Yes, Platinums want to give up sometimes too!) 

This thought lifted her spirits and she went to work.  At this bummer party, only 4 people came.  One of them was the host.  Only one person signed up on the Q for $100 and the rest passed.  What did Sherry do after her ah-ha moment?  She went home and picked up the phone.  She talked to every person that came to the party and personally addressed their concerns.  At the end of the 4 phone calls, she had 4 people on the Q and one new consultant.  Even though the party had not been successful, because of her effort, she was able to make it successful!  That’s the difference between successful consultants and non-successful consultants.  One waits for the opportunities to happen, the other makes them happen!

Go out there and don’t get beat down over mediocre parties!  Just be consistent and put daily effort into your business and I promise you’ll see success!
