Network Marketing Training- How to do a Successful In Home
Meeting
by Doug Firebaugh
In Home meetings (Private Business Receptions) are a great way
to introduce your new MLM business to your warm market...and of
course, there is a right way and a wrong way to do them.
What is a Private Business Reception (PBR)?
It is when you invite people over to your home and have a
"social-business" network marketing meeting for about an hour or
so, and dispense information to your friends about your mlm
business and products and services.
It is a powerful way to create some "instant success" in your
business right off the bat, and you can sell a lot of product at
a home meeting, or as some companies call it, a "home party".
Network Marketing has used this strategy for years, and has
proven to be a successful venue for your business. Mary Kay has
used it for years, as well as Beauticontrol, Amway, and many
others as well.
INFERNO Secret:
At a Private Business reception, ot In Home Meeting, you can
talk to many people at once, which is more EFFECTIVE than doing
all one on one network marketing appointments.
If you are going to be talking to people, why not talk to them
in groups?
INFERNO Secret:
One of the biggest secrets to wealth in MLM...talk to the
majority of people you talk to in groups, whether it is a PBR,
or Business Opp meetings, or Conference Calls. It multiples your
time.
Why do a PBR?
1)It is Comfortable.
Most people who you know wouldn't mind coming over to your home
and seeing a short business presentation to help you.
2)It is Convenient.
Many hotels are out of the way to many of your friends, and
normally, driving to a friends home is not sn 'out of the way"
thing...
3)It creates a very "familiar" environment for business.
Your friends who have been over at your home before, will see
this as something that is "familiar", and warm.
4)It creates a great 'Social" Focus as well.
Everybody likes to socialize, and we as humans are social
creatures for the most part. This can be fun and even exciting
if done well, and it has food involved as well.
I have done numerous (hundreds) of PBRs and let me tell you,
they not only were fun, but we wrote business out of them.
OK.
What do you do?
A)Decide who you want to come.
Make a list of the people you truly would like to have at your
network marketing meeting...and create a list of about 30 names.
B)Send them Invitations.
Send them an invitation in the mail about your meeting, at
least 2 weeks before it happens.
"You are cordially invited to a Private Business Reception at my
home on Wed. the22nd, to celebrate the opening of our new
business in the Healthcare Industry.
You will learn how important Healthcare is today for our
personal lives, and also how to take advantage of a Trillion
Dollar industry that is growing rapidly.
It starts at --------pm, and will end in about an hour. Food and
drinks will be served and there will be prizes given away.
RSVP.
This invite is short, to the point, and tells them what it is
all about. There are many ways to write an invitation, check
with your sponsor to see what he/she recommends.
C)Buy the food and drinks for the Reception.
Don't over do it. Sodas and finger foods are nice, and all that
is really needed. This is NOT a banquet, but a nice reception to
celebrate your mlm business.
D)Follow up with a phone call.
"Hello Nancy? This is Doug...I need your help on something...I
recently sent you an invitation to a reception at my home, and I
am following up because I really need you there...Can I count on
you being there for me?"
INFERNO Secret:
KEY Phrase...."Can I count on you being there for me?" will
double your attendance at your meetings, as most people id they
know they are being counted on will show up.
E)Make sure all Audio Video Equipment works...
That is self explanatory.
F)Greet them when they arrive with either a gift or food.
Make them feel welcome and many folks have given away book
markers, or anything along those lines as a "Thank you" for
coming. Food works as well.
G)Have a social time of about 30 minutes prior to the meeting.
Introduce your friends to those they don't know and make sure
people are eating and drinking a drink.
INFERNO Secret:
Have a "Host' Mentality. Be the host and make sure everyone is
comfortable.
H)Do a short 20 minute presentation on the Company, Products,
and Comp plan. Check to see what your company has available.
Make your presentation fun and informational. Ask a lot of
questions to your attendees, and don't sell, but simply tell.
I)After the presentation, hand out the "PBR Profile"... say "I
need your help. I would like for you to try our products, and
also we are looking for a couple of people to partner up with to
help introduce our program to this area. You may know someone
that could use a secondary revenue source of an extra $1,000 a
month. Please fill out the form I just gave you. There are 5
questions.
Name__________________________________
Telephone_____________________________
Email_________________________________
"Do you like the idea of (Whatever the benefits are of your
products)
"Do you know someone who could use and extra $1,000 a month
without changing anything they are doing?"
"What part of what you have seen tonight did you like the best?"
"What product do you believe will be the most popular?"
"Can you see yourself or someone you know becoming successful in
something like this?"
This profile will help you ascertain who truly has an interest
and doesn't in network marketing.
J)Hand out the Information Packets.
These simply contain brochures, audios and any other
information piece you think they need...
K)Socialize again and answer questions, and set follow up
appointments.
Ask..."Which part did you like the best?" And then set up times
to follow up one on one...
INFERNO Secret:
Have a few of your closest friends people bring a drink or
chips. This will insure they are there and this works every
time...
Also, understand the " Law of No shows."
You will have about 60-75% of the people that swear they will be
there, not show up. Expect it. It is human nature, and it's par
for the course for a PBR.
Yes there are exceptions, and pray you have 40% show up. WHAT A
PROBLEM TO HAVE!!!!!!!!!
So.
If you want 10 people to show up, invite 35-4o, and you should
have about that many show, and be thankful they do.
Follow up with the no shows and simply say..."I still need your
help...when can we get together for 15 minutes?"
There are many ways to do a PBR and In Home Meeting. This is
just one way, but a PROVEN way to write a lot of business in MLM
and Network Marketing.
