If you are in Direct Sales and looking to recruit new members to your team, then try hosting a T.A.C.O. Business Opportunity Party. This type of party can be done at a business networking event, expo, fair, community center or done from your own home.
How To Advertise The T.A.C.O. Business Event/Party: print up fliers and hang them up locally through out your community, mail out invitations to those who you know who might be looking to start a home business in Direct Sales, get a classified ad in your local newspaper and do some online advertising on local area message boards and web sites. It would also be adviseable to invite your past customers and party hosts to the business event.
Theme: Stick to the T.A.C.O. theme by serving mexican-style refreshments such as tacos, nachos, virgin margaritas, taco chips and salsa.
Decorations: If you are looking for some inexpensive Southwest and/or Mexican style party items, check out your local party supply store. You could purchase and wear a sombrero, get some southwest printed table cloths, use some cactus and aloe plants as accents etc, just get creative! You will want to set the mood as soon as your guests arrive for the T.A.C.O. business event.
Preparation: Make up some business opportunity information packets ahead of time and load them up with information about the business opportunity that you will be presenting. It is also helpful to have some visual aids on display during your presentation.
Time: Keep your presentation to about 30 minutes in length and then allow another 20 minutes for your guests to ask you questions and another 30 minutes for a little bit of mingling and clean up.
Make sure to get the contact information from your guests, a great way to accomplish that is by having a preprinted survey for them to complete or try offering a contest with a prize and have your guests fill out a contest entry form which will collect their contact information. After the event, follow up will be key in getting new members to join your Direct Sales team.
