How To Get Your Business Moving Fast
By: Heather Lorimer
I am excited for you to begin your journey as a Shelf Reliance Consultant. I have spent countless hours creating this training from those who join my team, Shelf Reliance Leaders. I have several more resources that I use to coach and encourage my first level consultants. If you'd like to join my team go here. You can be assured you will get one of the best supporting enrollers in Shelf Reliance.
Thanks to the world wide web this resource is available to all Shelf Reliance consultants. It’s my way of giving back. If you are on one of my 3 levels then ask me questions anytime. heather@teamshelfreliance.com I only have so much time to devote to my Shelf Reliance business and team. I am also a busy mom with 3 young children.
If you are not on my three levels then please ask your enroller about any questions you have regarding the information you see here. To see your upline log into your Shelf Reliance back office and click on "upline consultants.’’ Once again if you have not signed up to be a consultant yet, I encourage you to join Shelf Reliance Leaders!

· You are not creating world peace you don’t need to spend too long on this. Think and write. This is a 20 minute activity not 20 hours.
2. Get Your First Party Scheduled
· Make a list of everyone you could ask to host a party for you.
o I like to fill out the 40 guest is 4 minutes worksheet. It is on the SECOND page of the host prep sheet. You can find it here. https://www.shelfreliance.com/pdf/parties/Host-Prep-Sheet.pdf

· Set the date for your first party for AT LEAST two weeks from enrollment

· Information packets for potential consultants (opportunity brochure, letter, business card)
· Gather any supplies you might need (pens, clip boards, labels, envelopes)
· Review Allergen Information—take copies to parties.
· Package Contents information (be sure to remember the COSTCO matches)
· Set up a mobile command station to handle phone orders
(catalogue, price list, calculator, order form)
4. Get your Calendar Set Up

b. Write down all the important thing on the calendar (kids birthdays, UEA, any event that might effect a party)
c. Talk to your spouse or anyone else whose calendar will affect yours.
d. Highlight every day and time you are available for a party.
Get Moving—Week 3
1. Tell your family and friends about your new business.
· Be excited and positive.
· Send out the introduction letter, there is an example on the back end.
· Personally ask everyone on your 40 leads list to attend you first party.
o Take them a small sample, a catalogue and an invitation
o Send them a follow up e-mail
o Call to confirm if they are coming to the party
o Ask them to host a party.
o After the party follow up with those who did not come and thank those that did.
· Don’t discount anyone
o People far away can attend or host a party via skype
o People who are busy might really love the convenience of the Q AND they might want to host a party.
o People who are struggling financially really understand the importance of a home store AND may be looking for a business opportunity.
o People that you are nervous to talk to might be really interested. You are probably nervous because you care about them. Chances are they care about you to, so let them choose if they are interested or not.
2. Practice cooking with a few of the products that came in your starter kit. When I make the recipes I only make half the recipe.
3. Create a party script. Write it down.
· Make it personal; be sure to add feeling not facts.
· Don’t throw up information.
· My presentation is pretty casual and 20 minutes tops. After that I answer questions, and help with orders.
· NO ONE WANTS TO BE AT A PARTY FOR MORE THAN 1 HOUR. Time yourself if you are longer than an hour it is time to cut, cut, cut.
· Practice the script. Get a group of people who would be willing to listen to your presentation and practice on them.
4. Host your First party. Remember your goal is to get your calendar full!
