Hi everyone! I would love to hear from the people who are successful in their home party business! I am selling Lia Sophia jewelry and I really love it. In the past, I have sold Rainbow cleaning systems and Pampered Chef. The problems I had with those things were that my leads/bookings fizzled out and I ended up with no business. I really want to be successful with this as I just lost my other job and we need the extra income. Does anyone have any great ideas for either hostess coaching or how to generate more business? I love "thinking outside the box" ideas too!Thanks in advance!!

I have done direct sales for 12 yrs, I am currently with an awesome candle company ( due to their guidelines I can't post my website here but if you are interested I can email it to you). What I love about candles is that 80% of the US homes burn scented candles and they are consumable so the reorder business is AMAZING. My company is awesome about staying current on the latest colors etc. And we get a new catalog 3 times a year, so my hostess all have @ least 3 parties a year because they always rebook when the new catalog comes out. Right now they are offering free sign ups starting in January if anyone is interested. I have made more with this company then I have with any other I have sold with.

You have a very good company to work with. I don't do it but have been to plenty of their parties! Try to get hooked up with someone like my sisters.....we all had parties and everyone came so it was like a big circle of parties! I wish you the best! p.s. what attracted up was the unbelievable hostess gifts..I would concentrate on that aspect of the party system.
