When I first started working in MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) I was introduced to doing open house meetings or also called “Home meetings”. At first I did not like it because I was at that time, very shy.
My sponsor would come to my home meetings and help with the presentations until I was able to do them on my own.
Home meetings can be very effective in building your SFI business in your local area. But it takes a lot of preparation to have a good turn out and sign-ups.
One of the first things you will need is to be well versed in how SFI and TripleClicks work and have a source ready if someone ask a question you have trouble with. In other words you should be able to go on-line and quickly find an answer for your prospect.
Because SFI is based on selling and/or using products then you should have some SFI direct products on hand and also be able to explain the broad product range in TripleClicks that is available to all affiliates and those who are just interested in purchasing products.
I lived in a large city so I held 3 or 4 home meetings a week and once in a while I would do a home meeting at one of my down-line homes.
For me to obtain enough people to hold home meetings I constantly ran ads in the classified section of two highly published newspapers in our city. I would book at least three times the people that I could get in my house. The reason for this is a numbers game only a small amount of people will actually show up.
From those who showed up I would convert about 10 % of them and out of that 10% only one or two would stick with the business for over a month.
If you are ready to handle a lot of “in your face no’s” and times when you have 30 people invited and you prepared finger snacks, sent the children over to the baby sitters house and no one shows up for your meeting and you can stay positive through it all then by all means start hosting open house meetings.
Don’t let what I shared scare you off of doing house meetings. I personally have had good success with using that method in the past. However; because of access to the Internet and my present age I see no need to start home meetings again.
Also remember whatever you are doing in SFI make it easy enough to duplicate so your down-line members will be able to copy your success.
