WHY SHOULD I SPONSOR?
Many people around you today and many others you have yet to meet are currently in need of extra income, more time with their family, and friendship and aren’t sure how to achieve that. You won’t know who they are because most people won’t come forward and tell you. Or, they don’t know how they could work another job into their schedule. When most people think of working a part time job they are usually thinking that they have to commit 20+ hours a week that is scheduled. Your obligation is to share the Home & Garden Party opportunity with everyone and offer each and every one of them a chance to choose. Let's look at what you have to offer in a little more detail: Income….Current studies state that 84% of people are looking for an opportunity to earn extra income for themselves and their family. Many are living paycheck to paycheck and with an increased cost of living. You truly have the opportunity to help others by offering them a chance to choose to become a Designer. The lives of many Designers and their family have been changed tremendously because someone cared enough to help them start a new business with H&GP. For that, they are very thankful to their sponsor for providing them with an invitation to join. Please don't deny others that same opportunity. You won't know how important an opportunity with H&GP could be to them unless you ask. More time….People you already know and others you'll meet at your parties would like to have more time with their family….most people don’t realize what H&GP can offer financially and the flexibility our company provides. No other opportunity can help us to earn as much money on a schedule we make around our family. With H&GP we are able to put our family first and still be able to work hard to provide them with the financial support and nurturing we wish to. Many women are away from their children most of their waking hours and after paying for child care are left with a very small weekly paycheck. Holding just a couple of shows per week instead could provide them with the same income and be able to be predominantly home with their children. In your travels and at your shows you will meet people in that and many other similar situations. A young woman full time in college may need funds for tuition, another women may be struggling to pay off debt and is already working full time, another woman may need additional funds for prescription medication to supplement her retirement. Don't prejudge anyone....you never know who will need your help. Fellowship….We’re a family! Lifelong friendships are to be found with H&GP. Attending meetings, Rally, Company Trips, networking with other Designers etc. will provide many opportunities for building great friendships with others. Whether someone you meet is a stay-at-home-mom or someone who works a full time job, most women wish they had more friendships with others! Although building a team has many personal rewards get over thinking about sponsoring as "trying to talk someone into joining." It's not about you! It's about what you can offer to someone else. Sponsoring is about attitude - believing you have something worthwhile to share….something many many people would appreciate. Take action and start asking others if an opportunity with H&GP could help them and their family. Sponsoring is a three-step process that allows people to consider whether the Home & Garden Party business opportunity is a good choice for them. The first step is to inform everyone about the H&GP business opportunity. Just as you inform people about the benefits of hosting a Party, you want to inform them of the benefits of being a Designer.
Step two is to invite your prospects to consider the business for themselves. After you inform people, you need to directly invite individuals to learn more about the business opportunity. The great news is that H&GP provides you with the tools to make this step super easy!
The third stop is to interview people who have expressed interest. An interview is a conversation in which you explore together how Home & Garden Party can meet that person’s wants and needs. This is the ideal time to discuss your potential Designer’s aspirations for a business, as well as to help her find solutions to any concerns. Again, using the Opportunity DVD, the Opportunity Brochure, the Kit Brochure etc will do most of this for you!
If I'm a new Designer...should I sponsor?
Yes, yes and another yes! There is no better time to start sponsoring than when you first join! Invite a friend to join with you. You'll have a lot of fun learning together and you'll be able to benefit from the Smart Start Rewards Program. More importantly, if your first recruit is someone you just met they still deserve the same opportunity to benefit from what H&GP can offer them whether you are new or experienced. All the support and training they will need is available to them! With the support provided by our Home Office, the H&GP Web, your team, our weekly training calls, and the Garden of Roses Web they'll have all the tools they'll need to succeed!
How do I sponsor if I've never sponsored before?
That's easy! Just believe in what H&GP
offers, use the tools provided, and start inviting! Take a fresh look at the people on your “Who do you know?” list. Don’t
assume that you
know what they need in their lives. Even close friends and family don’t
necessarily tell
you! It’s up to you to share what you enjoy about your business and invite
them to find
out more. Whether it be people you already know or new acquaintances
you'll meet at you shows you will pass in your travels many many people who
would genuinely appreciate the opportunity to benefit by being a Designer.
If you are not inviting, you are denying them the chance to choose!
There are a number of approaches you can use to invite people to join H&GP. Prepare yourself by learning be becoming familiar with our sponsoring materials and practice the sample scripts so that you will be comfortable using them. Share with your prospects the Opportunity DVD, Opportunity Brochure etc, read through the "How to Sponsor" training with John Kiple, and then put that information into practice! Be sure to also read through the section on "Sponsoring at your Parties." What to say can be very simple. Your verbiage, however, can be very important so make sure you learn all you can about sponsoring.
Sample verbiage is listed here so you see how easy it can be. For people you know well who may have interest you could say:
“I started a business that I absolutely love and I thought of you. I’ve always thought it would be fun to work together. Can we get together so I can tell you about it?”
To your closest circle of friends, family and neighbors share with them a catalog, DVD, and say:
“Can you help me? I’m building my business, and I know that you care about my success. I need practice on my sponsoring presentation. Can I practice on you?”
For people you may not know as well or you're uncertain if they would be interested you might say:
“I’ve started my own business and I would really value your opinion. Can you spend a little time with me and tell me what you think?”
You can approach anyone you make contact with by saying:
“I’ve started a business and I was wondering if you could help me. Who do you know that has talked about starting a home-based business or likes getting friends together in their home?”
Sponsoring can be by far one of the greatest rewards you will discover as a Designer with H&GP. You are wished much success, encouragement to share the opportunity, and the fun you'll discover in building a team. To those you will sponsor I'll look forward to welcoming them to the Home & Garden Party family.
