The Home &
Garden Party "Ask Me" Game!
|

|
“Ask
me” about my business!!!
This is
a fun game to play at your Parties. The more people you talk to about
Home & Garden Party, the greater your chance of finding someone as nice
as you to join your business. Remember to always include the information
that pertains to
your
three services:
•
The
chance to purchase fabulous products
•
The
opportunity to receive free products for hosting a Party
•
The
best opportunity of all…the chance to do what you do! |
It’s best
to play the game after the majority of your Party presentation has taken
place. Everyone can see how fun and easy your H&GP business can be. If you
are playing the Auction or passing out tickets, your Guests will especially
pay attention when you announce that their chance of earning Auction Dollars
or tickets is almost over. Try saying, “I’m going to give Auction Dollars
(or tickets) for every question you ask me about my H&GP business in the
next 3 minutes. (You can also offer the guests the option of drawing a
question about your business from your bean pot.) When I say, ‘Go!’ you can
ask me any question about my business. There is only one rule: You may ask
as many questions as you like but not consecutively. Please, raise your hand
so I can be fair and give everyone a chance to earn lots of Auction Dollars
(tickets).” When the 3 minutes are up, say “You’ve asked me some really
great questions. Now I have a couple of questions for you...
“Whom do
you know who might be interested in trying Home & Garden Party?”
If you know
of anyone who would like to add to her present income by becoming a Home &
Garden Party Designer for 4-8 hours a week or full-time, put her name and
phone number at the top of your order blank I’ll be happy to send her an
information packet at no obligation. And if she decides to give Home &
Garden Party a try, I’ll have a free gift for you!
“Who do you
feel, here tonight, would be good at showing Home & Garden Party products?”
Remember, no experience is necessary. The qualifications are that you love
our product line, you love people, you wouldn’t mind earning about $100 a
Party and you love having fun! Whoever receives the most votes will get a
surprise from me. Give the person with the most votes extra Auction Dollars
and if she’s even a little bit interested, our Opportunity DVD along with
our Opportunity Brochure.
3. “Even if
you’re just a tiniest bit curious about becoming a Home & Garden Party
Designer, let me know or mark the top left box of your Customer Order Form.
I’ll gladly send you some information!”
The Most Frequently Asked
Questions during the ASK Me Game
Playing the
ASK ME game at every Party ensures that you’re talking about the opportunity
at every Party in a fun way. It also teaches your new Designers that
sponsoring is a natural part of our Party. Your brand new Designers will
sponsor right from the start when they are taught the Ask Me Game,
especially if that is how they were sponsored. Answer their questions
briefly and try to take notice of who asked what question. Their question is
most likely a “green flag” for what they would find appealing or a need they
may have. Below are some examples:
1. How many
Parties do you hold per week?
Be honest.
If you only hold 1 or 2 Parties per week, say so, and add that you love the
flexibility that Home & Garden Party provides.
“It’s hard
to believe, but you can receive full-time pay for working the hours that
most people consider part-time hours.”
2. How long
have you been selling Home & Garden Party?
Whether
you’ve been with H&GP 2 weeks or 2 years, it doesn’t matter. Answer
honestly, being sure to
convey how
much you love your H&GP business and how fun it is.
3. How did
you get started?
Whether
your experience is, “I
was at a Party, like you are now,”
or
“I
answered an ad,”
or
“Someone
referred me,”
just
briefly explain the circumstances that got you started in your Home & Garden
Party career.
“I
only regret I didn’t start sooner!!!
4. What do
you like best about your Parties or your Home & Garden Party business?
Respond sincerely in a brief sentence or two.
“IT’S THE
DESSERTS OF COURSE! No really, I love the pottery.”
or “I’m
looking forward to the trips, and the ongoing chance to earn countless
rewards.” Or “I’m
thrilled with the money I’m earning!”
5. How
much does it cost to get started?
“DING,
DING, DING, THIS IS A BONUS
QUESTION. IF YOU ARE PLAYING THE AUCTION, THIS CUSTOMER EARNS DOUBLE
AUCTION
DOLLARS.
“The cost
is minimal and with just 1 or 2 Parties, your kit
investment is reimbursed!”
6. How much
money do you make???
“DING,
DING, DING, THIS IS ANOTHER BONUS
QUESTION!
“ We earn
on average about $150-$200 per Party.”
You may add,
“I never
earned this while working at ___________.”
7. Is
everything you brought tonight yours?
“Yes, and
you should see our home! We get a great discount and an opportunity to add
to our products for free as well.”
8. Do you
have territories?
“No,
I can do Parties anywhere;
you don’t happen to live in Hawaii do you?”
9. Do you
earn any bonuses (Override or Sponsoring Bonuses)?
“Yes,
we get paid to work with and train anyone we sponsor so they’re assured the
best start
possible
and have a great chance to succeed with Home & Garden Party!”
(These two
questions are usually asked by someone with past or present direct sales
experience who may be more than just curious about our opportunity.) Keep
your eyes and ears open at all times. Those asking the questions may be more
curious than you think! Remember, practicing will give you confidence. You
may even want to give suggestions of questions before you start so they’ll
have an idea, and this way you are sure to get the ball rolling.
An alternative to the Ask Me
Game above is to place a number of questions in a Bean Pot and have your
guests draw out a question. For each question they draw you would
reward them with auction money or tickets. For sample questions
