Direct Sales Bookings Game

Direct home sales is a great way to enjoy the benefits of having your own business, meet new friends, party with old friends, and make money. As a home party consultant, you need to find bookings. A booking is when one person hosts the party in her or his home. The host invites friends and relatives, serves food and drinks, and opens the home to you and your products. As a direct home sales entrepreneur, you need to have bookings on a regular basis to make money. Bookings are the core of your business!



To ensure that they continue to have bookings and to develop a profitable home party plan, direct sales consultants usually play games at their shows to encourage people to book future parties.

There are a variety of games that can be used; sometimes it is advisable to play two or three games at your parties to create more interest. One of the most effective bookings games to play is the envelope game.



The Envelope Direct Sales Bookings Game



To play the direct sales bookings game called the envelope game, you will need to purchase several letter-sized envelopes; make sure to have enough for everyone at your party. You would then put small strips of paper or index cards into the envelopes with descriptions of gifts on each one. These free gifts can be anything you select.

Examples would include:



* Free shipping on items
* Discounts of products


* Free samples

* Free products


* An opportunity to become a direct consultant and receive free instruction on how
to begin your own home party plan (this helps to create a team of sales consultants who work under you).



You can create gifts that all have similar monetary values, or you may want to have one gift that is a bigger prize.

For example, all the envelopes but one could contain a voucher for free shipping. The one remaining envelope might contain a voucher for $50 in free products. You can utilize the lure of this one special prize to entice attendees to book a future party.

After distributing the envelopes to everyone at the party, it is important to tell them a little about the prizes to arouse their curiosity. It is also essential to inform them that the envelopes cannot be opened until the end of the party, and that they can only be opened if you book a party that night. Many people will decide to give back their envelope unopened, but there will usually be a few who will be enticed by the offer and the prospect of having a home party for their friends.

Being a direct home sales consultant is a great way to make money in this difficult economy. However, to ensure your home party plan is successful, you need to find ways to book parties. The envelope game will help you achieve that goal.
