Hostess Coaching- Key to a Successful Jewelry Bar®

One of the key components to a successful Origami Owl® Jewelry Bar® is Hostess Coaching. Your hostess does not know what to do to get people to attend her Jewelry bar® unless you coach her! Here I will share how to properly coach your hostess into a successful Jewelry Bar®.
Are you curious what is a successful Jewelry Bar®? I know I was when I first started with Origami Owl®. It is a jewelry bar® that is fun, rewarding for your hostess (she gets her wish list for as cheap as possible), you earn a good commission, and you get bookings.. A fun jewelry bar® gets others wanting to book a jewelry bar® with you also.

Here are some key things that should be discussed with all hostesses! I suggest getting coffee or lunch with your hostess while setting up her Jewelry Bar®!

•  Date, Time and Location for the Jewelry Bar® -A Lot of my hostesses like to host their parties in a local pizza place. It saves them time from cooking and cleaning. Plus it is centrally located for all guests
  
•  Length of the Jewelry- I suggest setting a firm start and stop time. Your time is valuable.
• Set your a Follow-up appointment with your hostess if you are scheduling her jewelry bar® over the phone. It gives you a chance to sit down with her and discuss the things below!
•  Share with her the hostess folder, what you put inside of it. I always include a Hostess Tic Tac Toe game! It is a fun game that the hostess and I can play. It rewards her with prizes for completing the squares! 
• Sharing the Hostess Rewards program and Hostess Exclusive is IMPORTANT! You want her to know what she is earning by hosting a Jewelry Bar®. {A qualified Jewelry Bar® is $125 in Retail sales before tax and shipping AND 4 Separate guest orders)
  
• Explain if there are any out of stock items, limited edition items or items that are low in stock. You want her to be able to collect outside orders without running into problems that will slow down the order or jewelry bar®.
• Food and Beverages- I recommend keeping it simple. You want the guests to focus on the jewelry.
  
• Ask her if she is allowing children to attend the Jewelry Bar®
• Ask her if she would like paper invitations or if she prefers to text/call her guests or maybe even just a Facebook Event.
• Ask her if she wants help getting the invitations out. If so get her guest list. Ask for e-mail addresses also. That way you can utilize our new system and send e-vites.
  
• Does she want to play a game?
  
• Does she want a jewelry bar theme? (themes are posted below)
  
• When you want to close the Jewelry Bar® by. I suggest withing 24-48 hours after the Jewelry Bar®.
• Encourage her to get outside orders. Share with her how to get them. Suggest asking friends at work, anyone who is busy the day of her actual Jewelry Bar®, out of state friends and family. Tell her about the custom shopping link she will be able to share with her friends and family.
  
• Encourage her to get outside bookings. Explain how they reward her for those bookings.
  
• Ask how many guests she is planning on inviting encourage her to tell her friends to bring a friend. I always explain that inviting 40 people is the number to aim for. Since about 15-20 of those 40 will actually show up. (these are just estimates and are not an indicator as to how your jewelry bar® will be)

Tips to use after your first meeting with her

• Staying in contact with her from the moment you book her Jewelry Bar® is important
• A week before her jewelry bar® share your excitement that her party is just around the corner!
  
• Asking her if she needs help reminding her guests about her Jewelry Bar®.
• Text or e-mail her a graphic with the details of her Jewelry bar® on it so she can send it to her friends as a reminder and post it on her facebook page.
• Ask her how many confirmed guests she has
• Ask her if she has gotten any outside orders

Honestly hostess coaching is so very important! You want her to have a successful jewelry bar® that her and her friends will talk about. I hope that this helps you coach your hostess to the most successful Jewelry Bar®. You can read more about Being a Hostess HERE.
