1. My husband will kill me!
(Well, have it at a friends (Well, have it at a friends place, sister, mother, etc)
2. I can't afford it.
(It does not cost very much for cheese and biscuits and it can be BYO if she
wants to have wine. Offer to bring some biscuits with you.)
3. My house is too small!
(Everybody has floor space and our display area is very small)
4. I can't afford to buy anything
(You will get yours for nothing)
5. No one would come!
( Listen to the conversation around you (agent). You will always hear two or
three guests say they would like to go to another party. Tell your prospective hostess
this and ask around the room you ( Listen to the conversation around you (agent). You will always hear two or
three guests say they would like to go to another party. Tell your prospective hostess
this and ask around the room you will find there are a lot who want to go again without her
even asking anyone.)
6. Not enough furniture

time to come to this party)
8. No one would come, I live too far out.
(Give your friends the opportunity to make up their own minds. Ask them, you
might be pleasantly surprised.)
9. All my friends work
(Great! They are the ones who have a little cash to spare. Besides which they
could invite the girls they work with which will bring your attendance up!)
10. I am new to the area.
(Terrific! What a great way to get to know the (Terrific! What a great way to get to know the neighbors. You certainly
would know who your friends were after the party)
What I am trying to prove to you girls is that although the customer may have
said "no because-" she is really saying to you, "Show me how to have a good
party and I will have one". Always ask everyone, as some people will sit back and
wait to be asked, which is only polite after all, and if you don't ask, then that is a
booking you will miss out on. Even if you have two dates booked, then still ask everyone,
who knows, you may get four. Above all, enjoy yourself and let it show, then your happy
positive attitude will rub off on others and you will find that not only is it easier to
date, but your sales will be better also. Attitude is all important, so be positive girls!
I know you can do it! Sonya
