April 1:
SPRING has sprung; each week of Spring
I’ll share an ACTION with you to get you springing for more bookings,
sales, and recruits.
It's time to SCHEDULE
That’s right…time to fill up the month of April
with parties and shows because soon you might be hearing the following
excuses or reasons for not booking or selling:
In May, “I’m planning/attending Graduations”
The June reason is “I’m hosting a bridal
shower/planning a wedding.”
July’s theme, “We’re going on vacation.”
August you’ll hear school bells and “We’re too busy
getting the kids in school.”
September’s woe could be, “I need to take a rest
from my busy summer!”
October and November and December, “I’m too busy
planning the holidays.”
Happy April Fulls Month!

That’s right…it's time to fill up the month of
April. Soon you might be hearing the following excuses or
reasons for not booking or selling; you'll be hearing...
● In May, “I’m planning
Graduations”
● June: “I’m hosting a bridal
shower/planning a wedding.”
● July’s excuse: “We’re going
on vacation.”
● August's school bells elicit
“We’re too busy getting the kids in school.”
● September’s woe could be, “I
need to take a rest from my busy summer!”
● October and November and
December always bring “I’m too busy planning the holidays.”
While you may think these are the common excuses
given by hosts to NOT hold a party, what I've presented here are
actual quotes from Consultants/Representatives as to reasons they are
not booking and selling.
Every season has its reason for people to say no to
buying, booking, or selling. So, before your calendar (and even those
of your prospects) becomes too full, fill up April with parties!
Get over those excuses by doing a TWIST with
your reasons! April
is the best month of the year (especially when Easter is in March) to
have a more-than-FULL calendar so you can draw from a large base of
new customers who will convert to your future hostesses and
consultants. You might have plans for weddings, vacations, and other
events; the beauty of this business is you can trade work now for
those plans AND EARN THE CASH YOU NEED IN ADVANCE. Decide now to make
up in time and volume for your upcoming activities, and then you won’t
feel guilty for enjoying the benefits of taking time for these
important family activities.
Do some simple math:
● Book a party next week, before April 8. (Party
#1)
● From that party book two
more by April 22 (Parties #2 and #3)
● Then from those two, two
more (an average of at least one each) to be held by the end of April
(Parties #4 and #5)
That’s FIVE parties to get you on a roll.
Now, I realize equations are easy, but getting the
results could be challenging. In fact, some consultants, in order to
get a booking, will schedule out really, really far…like into next
August or September. I can promise you that you might feel good
today, but not when the host cancels on you as it gets closer.
Here’s something to think about. If you ordered my
favorite Where to Find Customers When You Run Out of Family and
Friends today, would you want to wait until August to read it? I
didn’t think so. You’re THIRSTY NOW!
So, create an immediate thirst for your host gifts
and products, schedule the parties to be held SOON, as in April. Book
at least one from each of the five you hold in April and you will
SPRING into Summer with sales and bookings. In fact, you’ll be so
profitable, you’ll quit giving excuses as to why you can’t hold
parties, and be attracting more hosts, sales, and recruits...I’m not
FOOLING!
