    What works the best in order to obtain bookings?

    • A. Offer money!

    • B. The Park Lane Five Star Hostess Plan

    • C. Any form of bribery

    • D. Have your hostess ask the guests to book.

    Correct Answer
    A. B. The Park Lane Five Star Hostess Plan
    Explanation
    Correct answer: b. The Park Lane Five Star Hostess Plan. The Five Star Hostess Plan will offer to any hostess, free jewelry and potentially hundreds of dollars in free shopping credit with a qualified show. Directors will be business-wise to focus on what the basic plan has to offer hostesses, as it will probably be new to most hostesses. Have fun and demonstrate it by stacking a guest with empty Park Lane boxes, have 2 guests add up the benefits and what it would cost with 2 calculators, or you can count out fake money to demonstrate the benefits! We can overwhelm a hostess by offering too many additional perks.

    Rate this question:

  • 4. 

     Wouldn’t it be better to just have the guests write up their own order?

    • A. No, you know how to save the most money!

    • B. No, you might not be able to read their handwriting!

    • C. Yes, the guests might buy more!

    • D. Yes, it saves a lot of time!

    Correct Answer
    A. A. No, you know how to save the most money!
    Explanation
    Correct answer: a. No, you know how to save the most money! The customer bonus buying plan will be new to most of the guests, it is better if you, the director, work with the completed Wish List. Don’t try to “figure out” the sale or judge how much they’ll spend. Show them how to save the MOST money by adding up ALL the items on the Wish List and then let them know how many they can choose for $12 to save the MOST money. It is much better to have a customer walk you backwards then to have them realize they would have saved MORE money if you added everything up and then she chose her $12 bonus items. Our customer bonus plan is a dream come true…the more you buy, the more you save!!!

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    You will have a firm booking when:

    • A. A guest selects a date to book a show.

    • B. A guest has a lot of jewelry written on the Wish List

    • C. Your hostess tells you that her neighbor will book a show.

    • D. A guest tells you that she likes ALL of the jewelry.

    Correct Answer
    A. A. A guest selects a date to book a show.
    Explanation
    Correct Answer: a. A guest selects a date to book a show.A clear guarantee of a future booking is a firm date with a future hostess. This means a date that can be written down in the calendar of the director AND the calendar of the future hostess. Once a date is selected, then the initial coaching of the new hostess to return her Guest List to you in 3 days can be put into action.

    Rate this question:

  • 6. 

    What is a good indication that a guest may be interested in dating a show?

    • A. The guest is the first person that rushes up to the jewelry table.

    • B. The guest spends a lot of time trying on different jewelry ensembles.

    • C. The guest has a very full Wish List

    • D. The guest asks you questions about the hostess benefits.

    • E. All of the above!

    Correct Answer
    A. E. All of the above!
    Explanation
    Correct answer: e. All of the above. An observant director can learn a lot about who will become a future hostess by carefully observing the actions of guests at a show. Watch their reaction to the jewelry. Someone who just “loves” the jewelry, oohs and aahs over it, smiles and turns to show her friends how she looks, has all the indications of being a hostess. The guest with a very full Wish List and a guest that has questions about what hostesses receive is most likely interested in booking a show. Compliment her on her choices and let her know you’d LOVE to give her 100’s of dollars in jewelry for FREE!!

    Rate this question:

  • 7. 

     What should you, the director, do once the show is over?

    • A. Wrap up the rollers, don’t overstay your welcome!

    • B. Help your hostess clean up.

    • C. Stay a while longer to see if you can get more orders.

    • D. Spend time with your hostesses reviewing show results.

    Correct Answer
    A. D. Spend time with your hostesses reviewing show results.
    Explanation
    Correct Answer: d. Spend time with your hostesses reviewing show results. Once the show concludes, this is a GREAT opportunity to follow up on more orders and pin down additional bookings. This is also the time to clearly identify recruit prospects. Once the show ends, the fun of working with your hostess in identifying guests that did not attend or did not book begins. This is also the time to spend with your hostess to continue to cultivate her recruiting interest.

    Rate this question:

  • 8. 

    What is the best way to utilize the customer saving plan?

    • A. Have the customer pick out what she wants for $12.

    • B. Add up everything on the Wish List first.

    • C. Select the most expensive item and make that a $12 bonus item.

    • D. Help the guest spend as little as possible.

    Correct Answer
    A. B. Add up everything on the Wish List first.
    Explanation
    Correct answer: b. Add up everything on the Wish List first. It really does work best if the director first adds up everything on the Wish List and then offers additional items up to the total value of the order ( before tax and shipping). Doing it any other way, will not give the guest the highest benefit of what the savings plan offers. Start from the top! A guest will tell you if she needs you to reduce the amount of the order.

    Rate this question:

  • 9. 

    What is one of the best reasons to offer a Hostess Reward Certificate (HRC)?

    • A. Just to get a booking!

    • B. Use the HRC to make sure every guest books a show.

    • C. To get a booking on a specific day that you want to work.

    • D. Offer the HRC’s to everyone; it only costs them $5!

    Correct Answer
    A. C. To get a booking on a specific day that you want to work.
    Explanation
    Correct answer: c. To get a booking on a specific day that you want to work. The HRC should be viewed as an EXTRA incentive, to be earned when a hostess meets a goal above and beyond the regular hostess benefits found in our Five Star Hostess Plan. The Five Star Hostess Plan is VERY generous and directors should be proud to present as is. If we give too much, too soon, it actually can de-value our Hostess Plan! Keep the Five Star Hostess Plan special and the Hostess Reward Certificates as an EXTRA benefit they can EARN

    What should you do if you determine that your hostess is interested in joining Park Lane?

    • A. Tell her you will call her next week.

    • B. Ask your leader for help in sharing the Park Lane program.

    • C. Sign her up and give her the show.

    • D. Invite her to your next Park Lane event.

    Correct Answer
    A. B. Ask your leader for help in sharing the Park Lane program.
    Explanation
    Correct answer: b. Ask your leader for help in sharing the Park Lane program. It’s very exciting when a hostess want to join Park Lane! Even though you may have been coaching your hostess from the time she booked, your hostess has been focusing on her show! That’s a good thing! Now that the show is over, the hostess has a chance to see things in a different light. If she is interested in Park Lane, the best thing that you can do is for you and your leader to sit down with the hostess and present the Park Lane Opportunity. This can be done easily by utilizing the Realize Your Best booklet and give her the information together so she has all the information to decide if she’d like to join.
