Timing is Everything

You’re sitting in your car, at a red light, and then it turns green.

You hesitate for 7 little seconds.

Beep, Beeeeeep!

A whole 7 seconds! And people have the nerve to beep! Are they incredibly impatient or what!

Timing is everything, especially in our home party plan business. It’s not enough that you go or do, now you have to go, or do it fast enough!!!

Why? Prospective customers who don’t get immediate follow up/attention lose more than their patience. They just move on to someone else, or worse—another company. And your current customer who doesn’t get immediate follow up/attention lose their trust in you.

So: as soon as you get party interest or lead of any kind, respond immediately to let them know you got their message/request/inquiry, no matter what time of the day or day it is. This could be a simple as a text message, quick email, or quick phone call that says: “Hi, got your inquiry, and excited to connect with you. Will call//write/whatever later”

Because: once they get acknowledgment, they stop looking and start looking to hear back from YOU.

P.S. Immediate acknowledge is critical with anyone in your down-line, new recruits, prospective new recruits, your hostesses, prospective hostesses, referrals…everyone.

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.
