Two quick ways to DOUBLE Your December Sales

Can you believe that it’s already the middle of November?  Stores are decorated for the holidays and the Christmas music is playing and we’re all thinking about what gifts well buy for our friends and loved ones.

I have two quick tips for you on how to double your sales for late November and early December without doubling your time.

First Strategy: Design appealing offers for high orders and parties booked on special dates.  If you put out average you’re going to get average.  You must capitalize on what other reps AREN’T doing and give your customers and guests reasons to accept your extraordinary offer.

Get creative and design a few of your own unique special offers that will get your customers excited and give you what you want!

Consider presenting a few popular items or special incentives; for example, items that are no longer in the line or items that you absolutely know the majority of your guests will love.  Hold a special raffle if three or more of your guests decide to host a party.  Meaning, as long as three or more guests decide to host, all three of those guests are entered into a special drawing.

How about offering something for those guests who schedule their party on a special date or order $150?  Of course, your focus is to offer special dates in December until your calendar is full for December.

Second Strategy: Offer a couple of special people a holiday office luncheon or happy hour party. Don’t be surprised if they’re your highest parties of the year.

Scan your date book or invitation list and contemplate who you know that works in an environment with several quality employees.

I held over 5000 parties during my 20 years in the field and each November I’d call my personally selected previous hostesses (top hostesses), and offer a few of them an opportunity for me to cater lunch, beverages, raffle off a few surprises, and provide their guests with special holiday savings (including gift bags, tissue paper and cards).  Sometimes my hostesses opted for happy hour instead of lunch and I’d bring appetizers, wine and beverages.  These were two of my highest parties of the year.

You might be thinking ‘this is going to be expensive.’  Not really.  The food was quality but not expensive, however, the experience was nothing less than extraordinary.  I’d bring in music, set up an extraordinary display and create an affordable, quality menu.  Did I spend money? Absolutely, but the return was beyond my expectations.

What would it be worth to experience $5,000, $7,500, or $10,000 in personal sales during the first two weeks of December and then begin the year with a full calendar of parties?   I have a course that I taught my clients last year entitled “Launching Your Greatest Holiday and New Year” and many of them sold over $5,000, some $10,000, the first two weeks of December.  The irony is that over half of their sales were over the phone.

I want to show you how you can SELL a TON of product and book parties by creating a program to give a family in need a holiday they’ll never forget.  It’s doing business with the intent to give back and  guess what? I’ve done it all for you.  You’ll receive EVERY detail about my “PAY IT FORWARD CAMPAIGN” in my upcoming course “Your Greatest Holiday & New Year Ever.”

It gives you the perfect reason to connect with others about a fun activity instead of an agenda that’s about you, your business and your product.

You’ll have so much fun connecting with friends, previous hostesses, and everyone in your “circle of influence” presenting your campaign, contest, and your cause to give one to three fortunate families a holiday they’ll always remember. You’ll attract more abundance for yourself and everyone involved!

Joy and Success,

    Hi Steve. Loved your call with Tammy Stanley the other night. I very much appreciate your wonderful ideas and knowledge of the party plan business but more importantly I appreciate you sharing with us what you have already learned. And, I do feel your love when you share it so freely. It is your message of “giving” that I believe does promote growth. I know it also captures what I feel is most important in any business ~ a high integrity and strong ethic. Thank you for helping to change the direct sales industry with your education on changing the sales reps attitude about selling.

    I look forward to learning more from you and once again, thank you for your “giving” spirit!

    Happy Holidays!
