Party Plan Games
by Deb BixlerOf all of the requests that I get, the ones I hear most often are “how to find bookings” and “what kinds of home party games should I play” at my show. The question about scheduling shows is addressed frequently in the category of building business. Party Games are not really my thing. I always make sure that the game has value to all at the show. The category of party games includes several adaptations of games that I have heard sales professionals using. I always change them because I believe that if valuable show time is being used for game, then they really must serve two purposes. One purpose is fun for the guests and the other should be for the good of your business. The following game is one I am sure most of you have heard of before called “Ask Me About Making Money With YOUR Company”. I have added a new twist to it.
Home Parties – A Sharing Game
If you are not comfortable sharing your opportunity then this is a terrific game for you. This is how it works. You have a gift to give away. Either by issuing tickets or by using the gift and allowing the guests to pass it back and forth as they ask questions. Using a clock or timer, pick time frame. Not too long, maybe 2 minutes maximum. During this time ask the guests to do one of two things. They can ask you about your company and how you make money doing what you do, or they can tell you what they would do if they had and extra $125 per week coming into the household. If you are using the ticket approach, then everyone who asks a question gets a ticket for every question or income statement they make and at the end you do a drawing. If you are passing the item around the guests just pass it to who ever is sharing and when the timer rings or the time is up, that person keeps the gift.
Successful Home Based Business Strategies
Use what you learned during the game. A strategy is to create your games and shows in such a way that it gives you the information you are looking for.
The game will stimulate interest in your opportunity and give you information to use as your guests check out.
You can then say to those who asked about the vacations, “Where did you go on vacation last year?” “Would you be interested in more information about traveling for free with XYZ company?”
If someone said, “I would use the extra $125 to put the kids into private school? You may ask the guest during check out: “What school does your child go to now?” Why do you want them to switch schools?”
And so on, you can ease into your opportunity with benefits specific to their needs. Games at shows must be fun for the guests so be sure to keep them fast paced and short in duration. The value of the game to the guest is some fun, and to you it should have a business purpose as well.
