Online Ordering Hints and Tips

FAQ Answers! I've got a few hints about online ordering that ought to help new Consultants. Before I list them though, I want you to know that there is a whole chapter in the Consultant Guide about this. So please read it!

1. Make sure you've sent PartyLite your debit/credit form so you can easily process cash sales. It takes 24 hours for the system to work once PartyLite has received your form.
2. Make sure the show date is accurate at the beginning. This may be an issue if the show was postponed from an earlier date. Specials are only available in the month offered, so that date is important.
3. Always select the "contest" at the beginning. Even if you don't think you'll need it. This enables you to provide sale prices to people who are eligible.
4. If someone is NOT eligible for a sale price, you can use the pull-down arrow in the price field to select the higher price.
5. For phone numbers you need spaces in the right places. Home and work need to be XX XXXX XXXX and mobiles need to be XXXX XXX XXX.
6. Credit cards numbers cannot have spaces. Just 16 numbers all in a row.
7. Only add your hostess in as a guest if she's buying items at full price.
8. After you have finished putting in all of the guest orders, you'll be able to put in all of the hostess order.
9. When you get to the hostess product credit order, hit the Redeem Coupon button at the bottom BEFORE you put the order in. Otherwise you will have to re-enter the items.

Though I tried to come up with 10 (such a good number), I think that's about it. Do you have any hints to add? Please comment. WLC.

What's Wendy Say?

Hi. This is part 2 in a series. I use the show cards at almost every show I do. Even if the clients have had shows before, I use the cards and ask my repeat customers to help me explain what the cards mean. If they get it really right, I give them a tealight.

I invite you to comment on this post. Tell us what you say.

This card is all about you. Jenny is the host of this show, so she gets all of the benefits I’m about to describe. But you can get them all too. If you’re having fun here tonight, then you should consider hosting a show. PartyLite is very generous to the people who invite us into their homes and introduce us to their friends and family. The entire catalogue is available to you.

First of all, the magic number is 400. When we hit $400 on sales your show qualifies for everything I’m about to describe. My personal show average is between $600 and $700 anyway, so as long as you have 8-12 guests over, you’re bound to get all of this.

The $100 shopping spree refers to the 20% product credit you get as a host. So, for example, a $500 show would give you $100 in free products.

The first plus is that I have $50 booking vouchers that I will give to anyone who books a party with me tonight. So you can add that straight to the 20% - that's $150 in free products. Have you seen some things in the catalogue that you would want for free? I bet you have.

I never expect anyone to buy everything they like in the catalogue all at once. This takes time. I want you to think about where you will put things in your house. Burn our candles and fall in love with them. Then at the next show, you add to your collection. It’s likely that 2-3 of you will want to have another show, so all of you will have a chance to buy more.

OK, so now, so far, the host has gotten about $150 for free.

There is more. We have specials every month just for our hosts. Here are the specials for this month and here are the specials for next month. (Discuss/demonstrate specials.)

And, finally, for every $400 in sales, our hosts are eligible to buy one more at 30% off. So, as a host, if you don’t get everything you want for free, you get a great discount.

So do consider booking a show. I promise that every show is a little bit different, I demonstrate different products at every show, and I promise to make it fun, light, and informative. I've got my diary and we can discuss dates when you place your order with me.

I invite you to comment on this post. Share some feedback on things you say or do that might be different? I'd love to see what you say and I'd love for other people to see that we all do this differently.

Anyway, I'll start with the Sponsoring Card - $100 a night, 2 nights a week, fun, easy, free.

This card is all about me and my business.

• Let's start with $100 a night. Well, night or day, I rarely make less than $100 profit per show. That's after my expenses and not including the bonus I get for being a Unit Leader. All Consultants use this card, so based on averages, you can expect to make at least that much, too.
• Two shows a week. That is the minimum I like to do to meet my monthly income objectives. Some consultants do more, some do less, but 2 shows per week pretty much guarantees that a consultant will achieve PartyLite's bonus level each month.
• Fun? Well, I’m having fun. :) I get to meet great people like you, drink the host’s wine (that usually gets a giggle), and tell people all about the candles I love. And that's fun.
• Easy? PartyLite provides free training and cue cards. :) I really don’t have to remember very much for my presentations. Some people think the hardest part is getting shows, but I have to say that we offer such great benefits to hosts that I am usually booked a few months in advance.
• The best part is that it's free. Turn over your catalogue and see the little insert there. That is the starter kit. It costs you absolutely nothing to get it. You just schedule a show at your home and I come do the presentation. As soon as we hit $550 in sales, the kit is yours. It includes enough literature and supplies to get you through your first six shows.

My personal show average is between $600 and $700 anyway, so achieving the kit is easy as long as you have 8-12 guests over. New Consultant Training is a free 2 hour orientation and we run those classes every week.


So, you see, it really is fun, easy and free. It might not be for you, but you might know someone who wants a part time job. We're growing. Who could use an extra $200 a week?
