1. Listen to something with high energy and upbeat while you’re driving to your party.
-Blast the GaGa or your favorite song and stir up your positive energy.
-Become an enthusiasm magnet!
2. You are ‘ON’ as soon as you walk in the door, no matter how many people are there.
-Never ‘wait’ to introduce yourself, shake hands, smile or engage people.
3. Choose your demonstration area wisely, but without creating major inconvenience for your hostess.
-Never have your table in the middle of a room. Best? Stand/demonstrate cent, in right in front,
-Tip: you may want to carry a small folding table in your trunk just in case.
-Another tip: if all else fails, ask the hostess for an ironing board and cover it with a tablecloth.
4. Games and ice breakers are important because they help you START the party.
-As soon as the game is over, roll right into your presentation. Don’t say “We’re going to start the party now…” You already have! Go right into what, when, and the how’s of the presentation.
5. Think of yourself as a game show host and game shows would never work without an effective host.
Like a game show host, you::
-set the ‘rules’
-drive the game
-set the pace
-engage the guests
-are humorous
-ask questions
-explains answers
-call time
It’s all important.
More important: there’s a fine balance between being overbearing/bossy versus being confident and fun.
They all work!
