Helping Your Hostess - Problem Prevention

Helping Your Hostess - Problem Prevention

Here are some things to remember that will help ward off potential problems or distractions at the show:

No children at the show - babies are fine, but unless you can arrange for someone to watch the children in another room (still not the best option), it is best to not have Mom's attention divided, or the Consultant's (or anyone else's!), either.

Let this be a Mom's night out for fun with the ladies!
Avoiding Postponements or Cancellations
The most effective method for avoiding postponements or cancellations is to properly coach the hostess in advance. Let her know what you will be doing and what to expect, including her Hostess Incentives.

Share your enthusiasm and confidence with her, and if she is nervous, remind her that you will be doing the demonstration and answering questions.

If she has to postpone or cancel, be gracious! Obviously, if it isn't because of a tragedy that she is postponing or cancelling, ask her to commit to another date and time during the following week that will work for her. Ask her specifically if the first part of the week or the latter part will work. If you are too general, it may not happen.
