The TRUTH About Professional Business Receptions
To host or not to host a home meeting or professional business reception (PBR) is the question.
Anyone in MLM / Network marketing has heard a strong message from their upline and that is to, “Host A Home Meeting”. Ok…why?
This past week I attended my first PBR and I have to say I was shocked! HOW COOL WAS THIS!
Here was a group of people, of whom some were currently promoting our company and some had yet to take the leap. In either case we were all here to learn more about a single topic. Everyone in the room has something in common!
Most meetings usually start with an introduction of some kind into who the presenters are and why is everyone there. Presentations are presentation and some have more gusto than others. Make sure yours isn’t putting the audience to sleep.
The real hit, In My Humble Opinion (IMHO) is when the talking is over and the product comes out. Newbies and current business partners alike get excited and amped when your product is of value or has a “WOW” factor to it. In our case…it’s money. Who doesn’t get excited about that!
More often than not by holding the product in their hands a prospect goes through the final decision making process in their head. The final push to get them to move to one side of the fence or the other. Either way, they are that much closer to the ultimate decision. In or out. No questions left to answer.
Wanna see what my first home meeting experience was like?
Watch this!
A few tips when holding your own PBR or Home Event.
- Keep things light and upbeat. STAY POSITIVE
- If you have No Show’s (which will happen) don’t acknowledge it
- Make sure your presentation environment is uncluttered and inviting
- Have plenty of your product on hand and ensure a “take away” of some kind is available
- Light snacks and drinks are fine, but NO ALCOHOL
- Keep pets out of the meeting area
- Ensure kids are with a sitter or are not a distraction
- HAVE FUN!!!
Trust me, there are plenty of blog posts, articles and others out there that will tell you home meetings are not where it’s at. Then again, there are plenty of people out there who still think 401k’s and the stock market is where to invest your money.
If you’re looking for a new company, a new team, a new start…give me a call.
We’re serious about working for you.
