Hello Shelf Reliance Leaders,
I hope you had a great Easter holiday. My family did, we build part of a fence, had 3 easter egg hunts (and way too much candy). And I had a blog post featured on one of my favorite sites. (check out the original post for Jell-O eggs here http://cookingwithmyfoodstorage.blogspot.com/2011/04/easter-traditions-jello-eggs.html)
Business

Training: What to take to a party
It is sometimes hard to decide what to take to a party. We have so many great products that I want to take everything, but that is really not practical or affordable. After trying a lot of things below is a list of what I take.
A few things of note:
1. I take everything in two large bags from Sam’s club. I like them because they fit a ton of stuff, but I can still get everything from my car to the house in one trip.
2. Unless the hostess tells me that there are going to be close to 20 or more then 20 at the party I always try to take 20 packets. Why? Because I have had parties where the hostess thought there were going to be 11 and then there were more like 19. I like to make sure I have enough handouts for everyone.
3. My clip boards are not really clip board but 3 ring binders that I have cut apart. They fit better in my bags, they are cheaper and they work just as well. I really like that they have a pocket to put the papers and a pen in.
4. I attached the shipping costs to my clip boards using my sticker machine (it will make anything into a sticker, how cool is that?) I did it because was always having people ask about the shipping. Now everyone can see it easily. If you want to print off the shipping chart go to: https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&pid=explorer&chrome=true&srcid=0B0y9EJDOB4AUYTAwMDg2YzEtMmQwZC00Y2ViLWFmYjQtYmFlOGNiOWJmZWNi&hl=en&authkey=CJHD1YQC
5. I leave everything in the bags when I get home from a party that way it is ready to go for the next time. All I have to do is add a few new packets (attendee, host and potential consultant) and I’m out the door.
Handouts:
20 attendee packets
Price list stapled to a business card
Catalog (okay so I don’t actually have any right not but when I do I take them)
Order Form
Sale or Promotional Flier
All of that is in a black pocket board that has the shipping info stuck on.
Food:
I serve the following dry, I use about ¼ of a cup of the following:
FD Pineapple
FD Strawberries
FD Blueberries
FD Bananas
FD Veggie Mix: I mix them myself so I only have to take one pantry can of filled with the fix. I usually I use corn, peas, and green beans
Chicken Salad served on crackers : I make ½ a recipe using about ¾ cup of chicken, ¼ cup onions, and ¼ cup celery
Taco TVP (I make up about 1/3 cup) served on crackers or chips
Brownies or Macaroons: I make ½ the recipe using 1 cup of mix
New products: I like to feature the new products so people get a chance to taste them
Ice cream sandwich (I use one per party and break it into small pieces)
Yogurt bites (I give each guest one or 2 yogurt bites)
Display Sample pouches: I don’t let the customers open these just look at the food .
My favorite Emergency Preparedness Supplies:
Sparkie Fire Starter
Wing Stove
Toothbrush
Business Supplies:
20 pens
2 calculators
Stapler
Business cards
Clip board (I use this to put all the orders and checks on)
3-5 Host packets
30-40 invitations
Host Letter
40 guest in 40 minutes
Price list
2-3 order forms (with instructions on how to do tax and shipping)
Host benefit form
3-5 Potential Consultant packets
Opportunity brochure
Letter from me about being a consultant
Business Cards
My calendar (so I can schedule future parties)
My script
Other:
2-Mini muffin pans
1 divided serving tray
Sample cups (I put the new products in these and sometimes the fruits and vegetables)
Homework: Take a minuet and answer the following questions and send it back to me:
1. What do you need more training on?
2. Would you like to do another Shelf Reliance Leaders conference call? If so when is the best time of day for you?
3. Is there anything as your upline I could do to help you be more successful?
Keep up the great work!
