How do I get people to accept my offers of free make-overs and in home spa treatments. What can I say to work

Question

I'm having problems getting people to sit down with me, but once they do, I have no problems making sales. I need ideas as to how to get people to spend 1/2 an hour with me one-on-one or in groups. Since Beauticontrol is relatively new and unheard of, I can't seem to get people to want to find out more.

I need interesting ways to entice people to book make-overs with me or Spa parties. My webpage is beautipage.com/sacevedo for those they need to know more about what I'm selling.

Answer 1

Associations may be a good avenue to explore. These organizations will address many of the thoughts, questions and concerns you'll inevitably have as well as many you haven't anticipated yet. See the source box for some relevant links.

Hope that helps! I wish you much success & happiness in all your ventures!

Answer 2

Well my motto is if it's free, give me three so I'm surprised you're having trouble drawing people in because I would totally be up for a free makeover or spa treatment. I don't really know what you can do, but remember not to be too pushy, hand out lots of flyers, advertise in the newspaper and on the web and always smile. Try going to the mall or outdoor malls or where a lot of people are walking around. Ask people with friendly faces or bored expressions if they would like a free makeover. Hope business improves!

One Mary Kay way is to put up a fish bowl in a local store/restaurant with "Enter to win $20 FREE Mary Kay." I don't know what your products cost or what your commission is, so adjust that number as you see fit. Call each of them (spread them out over a month or a year as necessary) and tell them they've won! Then set up a time to sit down with them so they can try your product and decide how they would like to spend their freebie...they almost ALWAYS buy enough to make up for what you have lost.

Good luck and hope this helps. Feel free to e-mail me for more tips!

I've never participated in any of these types of marketing programs, but I'd suggest talking with some of your co-workers (assuming you have another job) or some of your friends to see if any of them would be willing to listen to one of your sales pitches (make up a flyer to give them that explains what you're trying to sell). If they say yes, invite them to your house (or wherever you normally do this), have some drinks and finger food for them and give them the presentation. If 10 people show up, at least one or two is bound to buy what you're selling...

Answer 5

Referrals are by far the best way - if you're having success, part of your standard process should be to whip out a list of people the customer might know and be willing to give a free gift to: family, colleagues, hairdressers... it goes on and on.

Ask any insurance salesman, they all have the same script (because it works).

Good luck,

Answer 6

Try getting on their insecurities about themselves. Be polite in pointing it out (it should be pretty obvious) and immediately recommend a solution to make it a constructive criticism. Remember to avoid insulting them. Always accompany a criticism with a solution and always make sure to sound professional and medical about it. That's how the sneaky businessmen do it.

Answer 7

Start with friends and family and get them to invite a friend or two as well.
It should roll on from there I hope.
Am in same position as you.
Need to take my own advice too lol

Good luck.
