Party Plan Hostess Coaching Tips – Video
Posted by Deb BixlerFree Direct Selling Training Download
Some party plan consultants look at hostess coaching, or host coaching as some companies call it, as a bother to the host. This could not be further from the truth.
Direct Selling Association – Customer Service Tip
Party Plan TIP: Call your hostess more often!
The Direct Selling Association has found in their studies that the one complaint that party plan hosts consistently report is their wish for better customer service.
Most party plan hostesses said that they wished they had heard from their consultant more often.
Frankly, the two times that I have hosted a party in my home with other sales companies I have felt the same way. It was frustrating for me to have to always call the host when I had a question or needed more catalogs.
Hostess Coaching Is Customer Service
I really did feel as though I was not getting enough customer service! Party plan hostess coaching is your job and it is good customer service!

Hostess coaching is SO important! So true that coaching is good customer service to your hostess.
I am a HUGE advocate of host coaching systems. They really make a difference. Once I put my system in to place (a combination of the one recommended by my company and the system Deb recommends) I saw a HUGE increase in attendance. I also have a great deal of repeat hostesses, which is great because I don’t have to always search for new bookings!!
Once I started hostess coaching my parties had less cancellations/postponements. My goal for 2013 is to increase my party attendance numbers through hostess coaching.
This is an area that I need to work on. Thanks for all the tips Deb.
Hostess coaching is SO important. Thanks for all of the great information.
IT doesnt matter how many times we read our hostess coaching in our consultant handouts…sometimes it just takes someone else breaking it down thank you for providing this information in time to transition this to my businesses in 2013!
Thanks, as always, for a reminder that it’s part of our “job” to help the host get the most out of her party. The happier they are, the happier we will be! If they’re going to have a party, it might as well be over the top!!
Thank you again for your expertise in hostess coaching and the ebook. The samples are great.
Thank you Deb for sharing (again!) great information! I am really going to try to build my business in 2013. You’ve given great tips…now to come out of my comfort-zone and make it happen.
I am going to really get better at my hostess coaching, and listen better to what they are saying to guide them to a better show… I am lacking in this area and actually getting the bookings!!
AWESOME information! This is exactly what I needed to take ownership of not allowing my sales to decrease. I love the tip of getting outside orders prior to the show!
You all can have a $1000 show. When a hostess does ALL the things they are guaranteed to have one and when YOU the consultant coach your host for ALL the things you are guaranteed too! Go for it Joanne, Penny, everyone!!!
Good “egg on face moment” – I definitely have felt abandoned by a consultant who was probably trying not to harass me..which is what I find myself doing. Thanks for the reminder!
I totally agree! When I started out my business I was really good at hostess coaching and my party average proved it! Thanks for the free tools!
Great tips Deb. I’m going to make host coaching my #1 priority this year.
Thank you. This reminds me to go back and listen again to your Power Up and Cash Flow Show material I purchased before. Getting systems in place will help me do host coaching when I get busy.
Thank you. Host coaching is about building that relationship .
I have always enjoyed your advice on the party and host coaching, and I have shared you with others. Still haven’t gotten up to $1000 parties, but am still working toward them.
I am working toward my company’s trip this year, more $1,000 parties will really help a lot!
Great advice, Deb. I am hoping to start this new year with a bang, so this will help!
Thanks Deb! Host coaching is an area where I know I need a great deal of improvement!
Hostess Coaching is important and I am not consistent. However my resolution is to mentor my team(those that find value in the business) to do this consistently and make it a priority. I too host parties with other companies and I cannot believe the lack of service most consultants give me as a customer.
I love the systems you put in place for us. Getting better attendance and better sales from those who do attend makes it much easier for us to move our businesses forward. I like the ownership idea and will be incorporating it into my coaching.
Thanks for that… love it host vs hostess!
i can understand how yo may feel that way, Amy. Just take it one step at a time. Add one thing to your hostess coaching plan then do it for a while then add another. Small bites….
You actually make it seem really easy together with your presentation however I to find this matter to be really one thing that I think I have trouble with. It kind of feels too complex and very vast for me.
Thanks for offering this for Free. I think that hostess coaching is an area that I am lacking in, i enjoyed your tips.
