Shake Parties

Shake parties are lots of FUN! They are also seriously effective! More and more distributors around South Africa are sharing their success sales using this marketing method. You just cannot ignore the snow-ball effect your sales will have.

The best way to start is to make a list of everyone you can think of.
Call them, be very enthusiastic, and tell them you have gone into business. As a part of your “on the job training”, you could hold at least 7 parties in your first four weeks.
Say, “would there be any reason you couldn’t ask some of your friends and neighbours in so I can share the product with them and complete my initial 7 party requirements?”

Have your calendar in front of you and have an X beside each time for the next three weeks you can hold a party. Give her choices of times and decide on a definite date. Share with her, but don’t tell her too much. Keep her curiosity about your product high. Keep on booking until you have called everyone you can think of. The more bookings to begin with, the better!

Also, self host a couple of parties. You invite your close friends and neighbours over to your house. Call them and explain you have to do some, “on the job training,” and on that (date) and (time) you will be holding a party at your house. From this type of party, book future parties.

After the initial parties, go back to the hostess to thank her and to offer her an incentive to continue hosting parties for you. Explain the Business Opportunity and then add that if she would like to just start with parties, you will offer her say, a 10% commission on all products sold at her parties. She’ll actually line up bookings for you once she understands how they will benefit her. She may even decide to become a distributor herself once she starts earning a substantial income.
Outline for shake parties
Before the guests show up:
1.    Set up one of everything for display.
2.    Mix Thermojetics STRONG – prepare lemon + sugar or the new flavours are great.
3.    Or make a Thermo punch – mix with some fruit juice, chopped fruit & some mint leaves & ice.
4.    Spray room with a man’s fragrance (women LOVE this).
5.    Always sit in a relaxed circle, not cinema style.
6.    Be sure you have a few testimonials / pictures (stories) to pass around.
7.    You, the presenter, should ideally sit – not stand.
8.    Have product on hand to sell on the spot.
9.    Crush Lipobond tablets and practise the Lipobond demonstrations (see example in no. 7 below)
As guests arrive:
1.    Hand each guest a cup of Thermo tea / punch and tell them there is lemon/sugar if they need it.
2.    When all guests are seated – have hostess introduce you and tell your story.
3.    Tell brief company history. Be enthusiastic, informal but INFORMATIVE.
4.    Ask how many guests are there to lose weight, gain weight or maintain good health.
5.    Have your hostess in the kitchen now mixing 2-3 flavours of shakes (mix 1 in low fat milk, 1 in juice and 1 in yoghurt to show the variety.)
6.    Tell about products & explain how to lose, maintain and gain weight on these products.
7.    Serve small cups of the shake, giving each one’s mix preference. Ask them how they taste?
8.    Ask them if they feel any different from the thermo tea?
9.    Do the Lipobond demonstration. (Take a clear glass, ill with tepid water, add a teaspoon of oil, take the crushed Lipobond tablet and sprinkle over oil. WATCH IT GRAB THE OIL AND SINK TO THE BOTTOM!
10.    Keep the chatter going so people in the room do not have a chance for any negative thoughts!

Good luck, have fun and enjoy it!
