The first thing people think about when they start their new Pre-Paid Legal business, is how to get the word out about their business. The most obvious place to start is with your family and friends. These are the people who love you, trust you, and want to see you succeed so starting with them should be easy. You can easily say something like, hey Ann, I need your help. I just started a new business and I want to get your honest opinion of it. Can you come by my house on.…? Ask for help and simply ask them to come over to your house because you are showing your new business, and you want their honest opinion. Be yourself when you invite people. You do not want to make them feel you are up to something, or you want to sell them something when you are inviting them to your home party. You just simply want to invite them over to show them something so do not try to sell them anything. You can tell them that they may or may not be interested but you want to get their honest opinion on what you are doing. Once they agree to come, change the subject so you do not tell them anything about the services. You want to save that for the presentation. If they ask, tell them you just got started and you do not know enough yet. Then you can change the subject and talk about the refreshments you are planning on serving, and maybe ask them to bring something because you are planning on having other guests, or ask them something about one of their family members.
Home parties are very popular in the home based business industry, and a great way to advertise and get the word out about your new home business. Pre-Paid Legal call their home parties private business receptions aka PBR’s. Many companies such as Tupperware, who market plastic containers and many other plastic items, Mary Kay, who market skin care and make-up products, and Silpada Designs, who market fine sterling silver jewelry, all have independent representatives who give home parties to advertise their products. Home parties can be used to market just about anything. New associates for Pre-Paid Legal are always encouraged to give their first private business receptiong within 72 hours of starting their business.
Having a private business reception to introduce your new Pre-Paid Legal business to family and friends could help you generate your first paycheck with the company. Many of your guests may like the services. In fact, they may need the service because they may be currently going through a legal situation so they may become a member right away. Your private business reception can also lead to future memberships. Once people try the services and like the service they will continue to use it. They may also tell other people about your services, and give you referrals on a regular basis. In fact, you can later ask them for referrals after they have tried the services. Private business receptions can definitely be the beginning of your word-of-month advertising.
The business opportunity should be apart of the presentation at your private business reception. Do not be surprise if a few of your guests want to join you in your Pre-Paid Legal business and become apart of your team. They may see the business as a way for them to earn more money and work from home as well. You just never know who may be interested in the business so the business opportunity should be apart of the presentation. Working with family and friends could be a wonderful thing. You can travel to the company’s big events together, such as the Las Vegas Leadership Summit and the OKC International Convention. The big events are fun to attend and it is nothing like having your family and friends in on the excitement of rubbing shoulders with the top leaders of the company and learning how your can too become a top leader.
When you have your first private business reception, let your sponsor give the entire presentation to your guests for you. Do not attempt to do it alone. Your first private business reception should be a training session for you; therefore, your sponsor should be trained and prepared to teach you how to give an effective presentation. You should be able to sit back, watch and take good notes while your sponsor gives the entire presentation so you can learn how to do it yourself. If your sponsor can not train you, you should find someone who can. You want to learn how to give the presentation yourself so you can teach other people on your team how to do the presentation.
If some of your guests want to join your Pre-Paid Legal business at your home party, this would be the perfect time to schedule the next private business reception at their home. Then you can practice the presentation which you just took notes on, and be prepared to give at least half of the next presentation for you new business partner. You can do half of the presentation and let your sponsor do the other half if you are not ready to do the whole presentation. This way you will still teach your new rep how to give the presentation while you are still learning it yourself. Just make sure they are able to sit back, watch and take notes during the presentation so that they can learn just like you did at your first home party. Don’t worry; the presentation does not have to be perfect. Just do it!
Having a private business reception to generate income and to train new reps starts the duplication process in your home business with private business receptions. You can make this process even more exciting and speed up the duplication process by taking a few of your own guests whenever you give a presentation for someone. This will help your business grow faster and teach others how to do the same. It is important that you and your team continue scheduling private business receptions so your business grows and go into momentum, and also start making you and your team an incredible income.
Although you want to really conduct business at your private business receptions, do not forget to make it fun too. It is still a party to launch you new home based business so have fun!
