Recipe for a Great Kick-Off Event
Ingredients:
A dash of a positive, enthusiastic attitude
½- 1 dozen or so amazing books to share
A group of fun and supportive friends
Some tasty treats and beverages
​
Directions:
-
Pick a Date. It is helpful to check in with 2-3 of the people you think will be most interested in the books to see what will work for them. We highly recommend Two Dates with a Side of Facebook. With two dates you can accommodate more schedules and a Facebook party helps you reach the people who don’t live nearby or can’t some.

Set up your party. Here's a video how.

Prep for your party. KISS- keep it simple sweetheart. Remember that you are learning so it does not have to be fabulous or perfect- just fun! There are some key pieces that are important to have at each event. Home Show Videos
-
Close your party. This is the fun part where you get to select your free books. It’s a good idea to have your team leader help you with your first couple orders. Closing a Home Party Video and Closing a Facebook Party Video.
