One of the best ways to keep up the attendance at your direct sales consultants’ meetings is to have fun and exciting team training meetings. Creating team theme meetings will keep your team guessing as to what is coming next.
Chickens and Stars: A week or so before the team training, send a postcard or email and do a phone call, telling everyone to bring a can of Chicken And Stars soup. No other explanation is necessary. You are creating an aura of intrigue. “What is she up to now?!” Then at the meeting, have a segment on networking, phone calls or anything you want, and the “theme” is “Are you a STAR?” Define being a STAR: Do you talk to people everywhere you go? Do you make a commitment to ask three people per day to host a show, and then DO it? Or are you a CHICKEN? Define being a CHICKEN: Do you make plans and then chicken out? Tell everyone to keep the soup can next to the phone and look at it until the next meeting to decide if they are a chicken or a star.
Seasonal Themes – Christie Northrup
Christie Northrup is the number one authority on themes. Well-known for putting a sweet twist on sour situations, the Lemon Aid Lady, as she calls herself, has a wide variety of seasonal or unique team training themes. One of my favorite themes is the October meeting theme of “Them Bones” which is part of hertheme training programs.

The objective is to have a fun Halloween theme and use it to illustrate that something is the back BONE of your business. The back BONE is the most important part of your body and the back bone of your business is the most important part of the business. I used to use this theme to talk about host coaching, which I believe truly is the back bone of the direct sales business. More themes from the Lemon Aid Lady.
Johnny Appleseed Meeting: Tell everyone to bring a package of seeds. This is another one of my favorite theme meetings. Is your team planting the seeds for the future? What we do in our business today will affect our business most in three months. Creating a theme and asking everyone to bring a package of their favorite seeds will generate curiosity and a meeting topic that is fun. Everyone will bring different kinds of seeds showing that we all run our business differently. Are you planting the seeds today so that you can reap the harvest down the road?
Creative Meeting Ideas Connect Team Members
Creating meetings that are unique and different every month will insure that your team sales consultants keep coming back. When a team connects at the meeting, they become more committed to their business because they are committed to friendships. Be creative with your meeting ideas and make every meeting different.
Last week in Harrisburg, the Cash Flow Explosion event changed many lives. One of the best ways to stay motivated is to collaborate with other direct sales professionals. It was amazing at how well Nicki Keohohou’s message from the DSWA book, “Build It Big”, matched and supported my (Deb Bixler) message “Dream Big!”

The Cash Flow Explosion seminar was a huge success yesterday with Nicki Keohohou sharing her experience, strength and hope with the attendees. Direct sales professionals from several different companies networked, learned, grew and actually had a few miracles performed in their lives. The day was fun, exciting and provided breakthrough training for direct sales professionals in party plan businesses.
Life Transitional Moments Are Miracles
Some people call it an “ah-ha” moment, others say they have had an awakening, I say when you transition in life to a new awareness it is a miracle. When someone comes into your life that can change your direction or course it is truly a miracle. We had several miracles take place at the Holiday Inn this past Saturday. Lives have been changed as a result of the coming together of minds, emotions and feelings. The day was a huge success.
Pampered Chef, Mia Bella, Tasteful Treasures, Dove Chocolate
Sales professionals from several direct selling companies collaborated for the good of the group and made a difference in each other’s lives. Collaboration, not competition is the key to leveraging everyone’s successes. When like minded people gather together for the good of the group without fear of competition it provides a spring board to higher levels for all involved. Nicki’s organizati0n, the DSWA is a huge collaboration of direct sales professionals working together as a team to benefit all of the members.
