Dear Santa, define a good party?

Let’s say you have a home party. 12 people show up. Sales were low. You didn’t get any bookings.Bad party, right? Wrong! Why? Because you met 12 people in person and they saw you, your products, heard your pitch, and experienced your service. These 12 people turned into 12 warm leads. And warm leads, if you work them, can be eventually turned into customers, a party hostess, a referral or even a new recruit. -12 new people you can continue your connection with. -12 new people you could email a brief note after your party and ask them if they had a good time, and comment on...

In YOUR Holiday Open House, that is! Why? Because people are in a buying mood. And because it’s a guarantee to make sure your home party business in the new year doesn’t start in February!

Are you an Info Dumper?

Psst. Let me ask you one little question. When you call or email someone about your business, do you give them so much information at one time that, uh…feels like an attack of diarrhea? OK, so you want a nicer name?It’s called Info-Dumping. Info-dumping is one of the fastest ways to completely overwhelm someone to the point of turning them away from you. And sometimes, it can be forever. Info dumping can be very costly whether you’re booking a home party, hostess coaching, responding to someone who’s interested in your business opportunity, responding to a...

Let Them Eat Your Dust!

While your competitors are busy chomping on turkey and shopping on Black Friday, you could be ahead of the game with about 30 minutes of time and never even leave your computer. Probably the last thing you want to do today is business related, right? You’d laugh if you saw me here at the moment, half dressed in my robe, typing, fresh from a shower and slugging down a quart of coffee in anticipation of a hoard of family and friends coming over for the big feast. And you? I bet you’re either trying to defrost the turkey, clean for company, baking or buying something to...

Once upon a time, in 1984, a woman named Rina Valan was frustrated about the limits placed on women in the business world and in their personal relationships. Back then, you literally had one choice: raise a family or have a career. In addition, if women complained of lack of pleasure with a partner, it was just assumed she was ‘frigid.’ Those choices were just not acceptable to Rina, and so her mission because clear to be that champion for the financial and personal well-being of women and their partners. With a $10,000 loan from her mother and drawing out all her cash advances on credit cards, in August 1984 Rina started Fantasia Home Parties in a small dusty warehouse in Elizabeth, NJ. She loved her 3 year old daughter so much that she could not bear to leave her with a sitter, so she took her to work every day. In the evenings would train new consultants so they could sell at home parties and be able to support their families AND be there to take care of them too. Today, Rina and her daughter, Emily, still work side by side. So 30 years later, Fantasia Home Parties stands as the pioneer and leader in romance home parties. As one of the founding member of CAHPA (Certified Adult Home Party Association), Fantasia continues to forge the trail and we make it possible for women to be equals in matters of the heart, personal pleasure, or providing income for themselves and family. Some of us do it in pink high heels or sneakers, some are single or married, some are single moms, or some of us are even taking care of own moms. With over 33 years of executive experience in the Home Party and Direct Selling business, her personal attention and real life experience is the backbone of our team. It is not unusual that she shares her working experience daily by coaching and with personal support with both new and experienced consultants.
