Here are some starter suggestions. Try one each day in the coming month. People you pay regularly Previous Jobs Make a list of the names of the names of the persons to whom you pay money on a regular basis, such as every week or every week or every month. As starters, list your grocer, cashier of the electric company, or hairdresser. If you had another job in your present community before you started selling Mary Kay, you have a circle of friends and acquaintances with whom you used to work. Also, you must know people whom you used to think of as competitors, or who were in a competing business. Make a list of their names, then go out and talk to them. People you pay occasionally Today talk to your druggist, jeweler, painter, decorator, clothing storeowner, shoe store proprietor, furniture dealer, and so on. From now on, include anyone you buy from. Your husband’s Organization If your husband belongs to a sports team, hunting club or a business association, he has a circle of acquaintances you will want to consider as possible prospects. Don’t pre-judge their needs or value. Call each one and see what happens. Professional people You deal with professional people frequently. Everyone has contracts with doctors and dentists. If you have children in school, you probably are acquainted with a number of teachers. Other professional people may be your lawyer, your banker and your clergy. Put their names down – then go out and talk to at least 10 of them. Recreation contacts Do you play golf or tennis, or have a hobby in which you are active? If so, you have met a number of people through this sport or hobby; and this source automatically supplies you with a list of names to contact today. Organizations you belong to What about the church you worship at, and the clubs and associations whose meetings you attend? Make a separate heading for each, and list the names of your friends and acquaintances among the members. Then contact them. Newcomers to town You can find names of these prospects through the chamber of commerce lists, newspaper society pages, church bulletins, etc. When you approach them today, offer to help them get situated in their new community. Social acquaintances You mix with people socially, at your home or their homes or during evenings out. They are prospects, so put their names down. Also, don’t forget the neighbors – as many of them as possible. School classmates What about the people with whom you went to school? Don’t forget the night schools, trade 5 schools, professional schools, and so on that you may have attended in recent years. Call on at least 10 of these people today. Present Customers Go through that collection of business cards you’ve been gathering from sales people and other business people you talk to. Call each one and, this time ask for the opportunity to talk about your products. Newlyweds Visit your library or newspaper office, go through local newspapers, and list every couple that got married during the past month. Most newspaper wedding announcement will give the couple’s address, where they work, etc, Call them today. Referrals Call 25 friends, customers and associates: ask each one for the names of at least two people you can talk to today. For best results, ask for specifics categories of people – for example, “Who is your friend? Your hairdresser? Your neighbor? In your car pool?” Aim for situations where you can use your friends or customer’s names when you contact these referrals. New homeowners When a woman moves into a new home, she is eager for her friends to see it. What a perfect opportunity for a woman to show her new home than by inviting her friends in a skin care class. Check courthouse and tax records for names of people in the area who have recently purchased homes. Call them today. New business owners Go back and search through those recent newspapers again, and this time focus on the legal notices for the names of people who are starting up new businesses. Call them to offer them a complimentary facial and ask if you may leave a facial box in their place of business. Prior cancellations or postponements Today, go back through your records and make a list of those people who had to cancel or postpone their classes that you haven’t yet re-contacted. Call them to see if they would like to book a class this week. Promotions and transfers Still another list to make from the past months newspapers is that of women receiving promotions or transferring to offices in your area. Call to congratulate them and to introduce yourself. Do it today. City directory Go to your local library and obtain the City Directory. Take down the names and addresses of families near you, or in areas you wish to develop. Look up their phone numbers, call and offer them a complimentary facial. Keep track of your results and see how many numbers you have to dial to make a contact and how many contacts you had to dial to book a facial. Then on this date next month, try to increase your batting average. Telephone Yellow Pages Let your fingers do the walking. Make a list of all the names of owners given in display ads; then either call them for an appointment or visit them. Clerks, Secretaries Today’s paper Spend today calling people working in stores and offices. Offer to give them a complimentary facial in the evening so that it doesn’t interfere with their work schedule. Go through this morning’s paper and write down each local name of a woman you can find and why she is mentioned (social club, hobbies, etc.) Call on each name and offer a complimentary facial. 6 Local organizations Obtain a list of area clubs and organizations from your chamber of commerce, then call the officers and offer to teach a “makeup” class and demonstrate the latest glamour techniques. You select a model and give her the facial in front of the entire organization. Then offer complimentary facials to all the women in the audience. Try to book classes. 7 HOW TO BOOK YOUR FIRST EIGHT CLASSES (Holding five in your first week is the most important part of your training! We always book “extras” because people’s plans DO change and we are always prepared for postponements). 1. Make a list of 20-25 people you know (who have skin). 2. KNOW THIS: When you give people a choice between TWO things, they will choose one! You are making an appointment to SHARE! 3. Telephone – and enthusiastically USE THESE WORDS – THEY WORK! “HELLO ____________! This is ______________! Do you have a minute? I have just gone into business for myself and I am SO EXCITED!! I am teaching Skin Care for Mary Kay Cosmetics!! Have you heard of it? Well, it is absolutely wonderful and I can’t wait to have you try it – I want your opinion of our products! The way we introduce the program is to give you a complimentary facial – teaching you good skin care and glamour tips too! Now, __________, I want to schedule your free facial for next week – which would be best for you, the BEGINNING OR THE END OF NEXT WEEK? GREAT! THURSDAY OR FRIDAY? OKAY – IN THE MORNING OR AFTERNOON? OR AFTERNOON OR EVENING? – (Remember, only two choices – this makes it easy for her) – HOW ABOUT ______________? OR WOULD _____________ BE BETTERFOR YOU? OKAY, THAT’S JUST PERFECT! AND LISTEN!! IT IS JUST AS EASY FOR ME TO GIVE SEVERAL FACIALS AT ONCE SO YOU MAY INVITE YOUR FRIENDS AND BE SURE TO TELL THEM YOU ARE TAKING DEFINITE RESERVATIONS SO IF SOMETHING HAPPENS YOU CAN INVITE SOMEONE IN HER PLACE – OKAY? IT REALLY IS MORE FUN TO HAVE A GROUP AND EVERYONE GETS A COMPLETE FACIAL – FREE!! ISN’T THAT SUPER! I’LL SEE YOU ______________ ABOUT ____________ SO I CAN SET UP THE TABLE AND WE’LL START RIGHT AT ____________. THIS IS SO MUCH FUN, I CAN’T WAIT BYE!” 4. DON’T “chit chat” and DON’T try to sell her on how great the products are – all you want is the appointment to SHARE and let her find out for herself whether she likes it or not. (WE KNOW she’ll love it, but she doesn’t know it until she EXPERIENCES it personally)! DO be enthusiastic – it is “catching” – and women are naturally “curious” – IF YOU are sincerely excited, she will be too!!! 8 PERFECT START OR POWER START As with any new opportunity, it’s important to determine what your goals are for your Mary Kay business. Consider the following points to help you select the business plan that’s best for you. 1 2 Will you be working another Director (leading a team) career, OR will your Mary Kay be your main source of income. Will you work your Mary Kay business parttime, 10-15 hours per week, or on a full-time basis 20-40 hours per week? If you answered yes to Question #4, would you like to achieve this goal in one year or less? A few years? 3 4 How much income are you looking for from your Mary Kay career? Your goals might range from simply earning extra spending money to substantially improving your financial position. Are you interested in reaching Director status (leading a team) or higher with your Mary Kay? Now use your answers to choose Perfect Start or Power Start. For a part-time or supplemental income goal, choose Perfect Start. If you’re ready to make a strong commitment to your Mary Kay career, choose the Power Start plan and electrify you business! PERFECT START POWER START To reach your Perfect start goals, you’ll want to read all the materials in your showcase, observe skin care classes and attend as many of the Director’s teaching as possible. You’ll also need to complete one of the following activities within a two-week period, beginning with your first class or facial: If you accept the Power Start challenge, you’re on your way to success. Just like with Perfect Start, you’ll want to read all the educational material in the showcase, observe classes and attend as many of your Director’s teaching sessions and unit meeting as possible. You will also need to complete one of the following activities within a one-month period, beginning with your fist class or facial: Hold five (5) skin care classes or Facial 15 customers 9 Hold 10 skin care classes or Facial 30 customers THE 4 MOST COMMON BOOKING OBJECTIONS FEEL, FELT, FOUND 1. I DON’T WEAR MAKEUP I understand how you feel, I know other people who have felt that way too. However, what I have found with Mary Kay, the importance is placed on skin care, and I know to have a softer, more radiant complexion is something that’s important to you. Wouldn’t you agree? So what’s best for you: a weekday or weekend, AM or PM? 2. I DON’T HAVE TIME I understand how you feel, because we as women are always busy doing so many things for everyone else, however, what I found when I had my facial is that we need to take time out to pamper ourselves before time takes us. Wouldn’t you agree? So what’s best for you? 3. I DON’T WEAR MARY KAY, I WEAR BRAND X Great! Because part of my training is to get 20 people opinion of my products that are non-Mary Kay users and I have been looking for a loyal _____________ user. Is there any reason why you couldn’t honor me with your opinion of Mary Kay the #1 brand of facial skin care and color cosmetics in the U.S. as it compares to what you’re using? So what’s best for you? 4. I TRIED MARY KAY AND I BROKE OUT How recent has it been since you tried our products? (Wait for a response before going on). I ask you because our products have been updated and improved so much now that the products are #1 in the U.S. which means we have made a lot of changes – wouldn’t you agree? Is there any reason you cannot honor me with your updated opinion of the new Mary Kay? One of the things I’ll be doing is a skin care analysis so that I can customize your skin care needs to your skin type, because everyone doesn’t have the same type of skin. Wouldn’t you agree? So what’s best for you? Isn’t it nice to know that Mary Kay believes enough in her products that she backs them 100% and the products are ophthalmologist and dermatologist tested and safe for sensitive skin? 10 Booking Success Scripts ARE YOU LOOKING FOR FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE?

I believe that you could be good in Mary Kay. I really do! With proper training don’t you believe you could do most of the things you just saw me do? Well, I am in training to become a red jacket, team leader, free car driver which means I need to do 10 practice interviews this month with my Director and I only need just a few more. Could you and your family use an extra $100 - $300 a week on a part time basis, would that be helpful right now? Well, that’s great because at the practice interview you will learn all the facts about our incredible company, whether it is for you or not at this time. Wouldn’t you agree that as a woman it is nice to know all of your options? And for helping me with my training I will give you a special gift! It takes about ½ hour and we can do it at your house or mine, which would be better for you? 12 NOW! DO IT! Let the games begin!

You’ve just set up a simple system to keep these three I’ve suggested. However, it’s up to you! TREAT IT LIKE A BUSINESS AND I PROMISE IT WILL PAY HANDSOMELY!!!!! 17 IDEA MARY KAY Exchange A Checklist for Super Skin Care Class Success Hostess Coaching A Mary Kay business is built on skin care classes that hold. Your Consultants can avoid postponements when they use the following checklist for consistent, thorough hostess coaching. Adapted from ideas shared by National Sales Director Sonya Grogian and Executive Senior Director Toni Fischler of Smithtown, NY, these suggestions help Consultants see where their strengths and weaknesses lie. 1st Class 2nd Class 3rd Class 1. When I booked my hostess for her skin care class, did I make sure it was a firm business appointment by saying: “You can count on me to be there. May I count on you? Was I enthusiastic? Did I share the Gift for You brochures with her and make sure she understood how she can earn hostess points she wanted? Did I mention she’ll earn $50 in free products for holding the class on the date it was originally booked with two friends. 2. Did I coach her thoroughly, telling her how to invite her guests so she would have a good skin care class? Did I remind her she can earn credit for each guest who attends (see page 22)? 3. Did I send her a reminder note about the time and date of her skin care class? 4. Did I give her a specific time when I would call to get her guests list and their phone numbers? 5. Did I call her back on the date I promised and get her guest list? 6. Did I call each guest and ask if she had a minute? Then did I tell her what to expect at the class including a complimentary facial with emphasis on skin care, a touch of glamour and a oneon-one consultation at the end of the 18 4th Class 5th Class 6th Class 7th Class 8th Class 9th Class 10th Class class? Did I complete each guest’s skin care profile? 7. Did I coach and confirm each guest on the phone? Did I emphasize the importance of her attendance? 8. Did I write a thank-you note to the hostess before her class; telling her the guests were eagerly looking forward to her class? 9. Did I arrive at least 30 minutes before the class to set up and kitchen coach my hostess? Did I ask which two guests would most likely book classes? Did I ask for referrals? 10. Did I use the four-point recruiting plan? a) Asked the hostess which guest might be interested in doing what I do? b) Gave a heartfelt, enthusiastic talk on why I began my Mary Kay career. c) Selected someone at the class and gave her recruiting literature? d) Offered the hostess and guests a special gift for any person who becomes a qualified Consultant? 11. At the skin care class, did I mention a second facial: a) At the opening b) During the Microdermabrasion c) During the Satin Lips d) During the application of the Mineral Powder e) During the application of the Lip Gloss f) When I talked about the satisfaction guarantee? 12. Did I make a special presentation of the thank-you gift? 13. Did I do a strong one-on-one closing, including asking for each person’s order, in another room? 14. Did I smile throughout the skin care class presentation and really care about how each woman looked and felt? 15. Did I follow up with every guest with the 2+2+2 rules (two days, two weeks and two months)? Did I schedule a second facial for each person who bought the basic? Did I turn that facial into a class to be held within the next two weeks? 16. Did I choose at least one person from the class to share the Mary Kay opportunity with? Did I set a definite 19 time to see her again, perhaps as my guest at my next skin care class or unit meeting? Did I tell my Director about her? 20 ROADMAP TO SUCCESS The first two weeks as a Consultant, you will need to do Three Things: 1. Educate yourself in your new business. 2. Recruit others to train with you. 3. Order your inventory (diversified orders are available from your Director). (This give you the ultimate advantage of immediate product availability for your customers). NEXT: 1. Make a List of 25 names of people you know. A. Choose 10 of them that could possibly do what you will be doing (which is teach skin care). B. Talk with them to determine their interest. Proceed with interested and obtain referrals from the others. Always keep a current list of ten (give a copy of this list to your Director). 2. Bring five guests to unit meetings/guest events the first four weeks in the business. 3. Observe three classes (ask your recruiter) (video counts as one class), attend unit meetings and training classes (this is your opportunity to have specialized training every week, your success depends on it)! 4. Book 10 appointments beginning two weeks from the date your agreement is signed. Turn in list with hostesses’ names, phone numbers, and dates to your recruiter. She will call or write each hostess to thank them for helping you with your Perfect Start, if local. 5. Learn your prices and your products 6. Order your business supplies. See your Director for best sources. 7. From your showcase, learn the following: A. B. C. D. E. 8. Flip Chart Consultant’s Guide (Mary Kay Correct Booking Approach) Focus on Skin Care Class Video and Workbook Beauty Book and Order Blanks Date Book Prepare for your first ten appointments with the proper tools, such as hostess packets and recruiting packets, etc. 9. Role-play a class from beginning to end (practice, practice, practice). 10. Organize your inventory (if available) to make only the necessary. Take six complete collections plus your “Switch Case” that holds your extra colors in glamour an Day Radiance, as well as any of your other line in boutique, hair care, nail care, or body care. A complete Skin Management for Men is nice to have too. 11. Wear your Mary Kay pin everywhere. 12. Read Mary Kay’s Autobiography 21 13. Check your attitude. It is normal to be nervous. It is a new adventure. It is all right to have “butterflies”, just get them flying in the same formation. 14. REMEMBER TO HAVE FUN WITH YOUR NEW BUSINESS • COACHING MATERIALS During the initial process, you’ll want to give your hostess a folder of coaching materials called a hostess packet. You can use a pocket folder, file folder or large envelope to hold the coaching materials, or simply clip them together. You’ll want to include: Hostess flier, which explains how your hostess can earn points to receive either Mary Kay products or a special hostess gift. A beauty book, which lists all regular-line Mary Kay products and suggested retail prices. A look book. 10 sales tickets for taking outside orders. Skin care profiles in case you can’t contact some of the guests and ask your hostess to do so. Recruiting literature, such as the Company image brochure. Your business card. Outside order sheets (i.e.: the pineapple smoothie set, the satin hands set, lip gloss duo…). Tax benefits sheets ($33,000 sheet) Pondered pink sheet Image possibilities DVD (get someone to burn them for you, if you don’t know how or are too busy). 22 SUCCESSFUL HOSTESS COACHING! Several years ago, Nancy realized how important it was to coach her hostesses and obtain guest lists for their skin care classes in advance. Because many women working outside the home arrange their schedules a week in advance, beginning the coaching five to seven days before the class give your hostess time to confirm her guests’ plans and invite additional people if anyone cannot attend. This also gives you time to pre-profile the guests so you can provide them with great customer service. 1 4 Send your hostess a postcard immediately after she books the class: say: “Hi Kathy, this is Diane Sharp, an Independent Mary Kay Beauty Consultant. Do you have a minute? Great! I’m the Consultant who will be teaching Mary Smith’s class on Tuesday, October 12 at 7pm. I wanted to ask you a couple of quick questions so I’ll be prepared to work with you.” Hi Mary! I enjoyed meeting you at Susie’s skin care class and look forward to checking your results with three or more of your friends on Tuesday, October 12 at 7pm. Please call me with your guest list by Tuesday, October 5, so I can pre-profile your guests. That way our class will take only one and a half to two hours as I promised. Enjoy your skin care products and I’ll talk with you soon. Call me if you have any questions and have a great day. 2 After reviewing the questions on the profile, Nancy suggests saying: ”We’ll start promptly at 7pm and the class will take about an hour and half to two hours. The class is complimentary; however, I will bring products with me in case you decide to purchase something. At this class, I’ll teach basic skin care and basic glamour. I’ll also give you a private consultation at the end so I can get your opinion and answer your questions. (Wait for answer). May I ask what you are interested in learning at the class? I want to let you know that Mary could only invite six friends, so if for some reason you can’t make it is there any reason why u can’t find someone to fill your spot? (Wait for answer). I look forward to meeting you, Kathy, Tuesday at 7pm. Have a great week!” The week before the class, write a note in your date book reminding you to call your hostess for her guest list. Don’t assume that she will call you; after all, it is your business and your responsibility to see that it runs smoothly. (After coaching her hostesses like this for nine years, Nancy says now many call her!) 3 When you call to pre-profile her guests, you can If her guest list isn’t ready you can say, “I By covering these points in advance, your class is more likely to hold and begin on time – which is important if you or any of the guests are paying a baby sitter. Preprofiling also eliminates the awkwardness of waiting for a guest who may or may not show. understand Mary. You just can’t help having sick children (or whatever the reason is). When would be a good time tomorrow for me to call back and get your guest list? I still want to pre-profile them just like I preprofiled you before Susie’s class.” Calling seven days before her class gives your hostess time to talk with friends who have busy schedules. Explaining that the class is complimentary takes pressure off the guests who may feel obligated to buy. However, when you point out that you make on the spot deliveries, you plant the seed to bring the checkbook, credit card, or cash in case they decide to purchase the 23 products. You also spark her interest by asking what she wants to learn, then tailoring your class accordingly. 5 Nancy has found that pre-profiling this way encourages guests who may have changed their minds about attending the class (and weren’t going to tell their hostess) to come anyway. Remember, a skin care class worth holding is worth coaching. Nancy began using her guaranteed success hostess coaching approach during DIQ and “it enabled me to hold three to five skin care classes and three to four recruiting interviews a week, have a phone time and manage my entire life more efficiently!” 24 Kitchen Coaching 11. keep the conversation on Mary Kay?” (Show her how to promote what’s in your boutique basket). 1. Always arrive ½ hour early. This gives you the opportunity to coach her well and set up before the guests arrive. 2. Greet her, pay her a sincere compliment, and find out where she would like you to set things up. 3. Ask for the hostess packet back, take out the Just For You brochure, and go over it. Make sure she has filled out the back of it, and filled out her wish list. 4. Ask her, “How many guests do you have coming for sure?” 5. Ask her, “Do you have your two confirmed booking lined up?” (If not, ask her who’s coming that she thinks would make a good hostess). Let her know that you will ask those people, and you know that she will get her full hostess points. 6. Ask her, “Who do you know that’s coming today/tonight that you think would be good at doing what I do?” – (be silent 1 second) then say – “ Which is teaching skin care and color cosmetics? How about you? I think you would be great doing what I do. I’ll tell you what, why don’t you watch me tonight and see if it looks like I’m having fun and we’ll talk later.” (Follow up). (1st point in the 4-point Recruiting Plan). 7. Help her figure out which glamour colors she would like to try at the class. 8. Tell her, “You and I are going to be business partners for the next couple of hours, and together we can be successful. I do want you to win a lot of products free. Can I make a few suggestions for you?” 9. Ask her, “Are you going to serve refreshments? Could you please keep them until the end?” (Her clue is when you have just finished going over the sets). 10. Tell her, “While I’m talking to the guests individually in the other room, can you try to 25 DEVELOPING YOUR HOSTESS TO BE YOUR BUSINESS PARTNERS File under hostess coaching Your hostesses are the biggest asset you have in your business next to yourself! They must be treated like gold. They are your business partners and like most partners they can be one of two types – either a working partner or a silent partner. Motivation: You must get her excited about hosting her class and the best way to do that is to be excited yourself and make sure it is obvious. She will do everything she can to make her class a success, if she knows the benefits and how she can help herself. A working hostess will have outside orders, outside bookings, and potential recruits ready for you before you even arrive. She will also increase your class sales just by her attitude. A silent hostess is just that – silent and in this case silence is not golden! What type of hostess you have depends largely on you. How you treat her, coach her, motivate her will determine whether she is silent or a working partner in your business. Explain The Hostess Points Program: 50 points for holding the class on the originally scheduled date; 50 points for every guest who books her own skin care class; 10 points for each guest who attends her class; and 1 point for each dollar of her total class and outside sales. Let her know that she can trade her points in toward FREE Mary Kay products, or use them for an exclusive hostess gift. Coaching Your Hostess: You must always remember that your hostess is not holding the class to help you. She probably booked to help her friends, to entertain her friends, or to obtain products for herself. She also did not book the class to have it be a flop. She wants it to be a success and she needs your help as much as you need hers. Now, Hand her the beauty book and ask her to make a list of all the products she would like to have for free. Tell her you are going to work together to make sure she gets everything she wants. Explain that you will be working for her during the class, but she can do something before hand to help herself. When Inviting Guests: tell her to ask bookings from persons who cannot attend, to guarantee her at least 50 points. Also, explain how outside orders will build her class sales and help to increase the amount of her points. You may even offer an extra gift if she has $50.00 in outside orders. It is your job to teach her how to have a successful class. Just handing her a “Just for You” brochure is not coaching. You must motivate and instruct her on what to do. Preparation: make up 20 hostess packets, using a manila envelope. Include Sample lipstick blisters, a “Just for You” brochure, and Outside Orders Sheet, 3 Beauty Books, a “Dear Future Hostess” letter, and the “We are Business Partners for One Day” script. Invitations: Teach her how to invite her guests. Be sure she explains to her guests that everyone receives a complimentary facial and a complete instruction on skin care techniques. If she is excited she will pass the excitement along to her guests. Coach her immediately after setting the date and time. It only takes a few minutes and is worth every second. You want her to start working her class right away. Go over the “suggestions” step-by-step. Be sure she explains that she only has room for five or six guests and gets a definite confirmation, maybe does not count. Make sure she realizes that more guests means higher sales and more points for her. Time: Always write down the time 15 minutes before the actual appointment time, i.e. 7:15 instead of 7:30 and explain that it is important for everyone to be on time because you will be starting on time! Encourage her to mention that products will be available at the class, so her guests will bring their purses, checkbooks, etc. Show her the guest list for on the back of the “Just for You” brochure and ask her to use it. This is a prospect list for you. Refreshments: Keep them light! Only tea or coffee is necessary. You are the one who should be working, not her. this is very important as it will encourage other bookings when potential hostesses realize they do not have to prepare food or incur additional expense. REMEMBER ANY CLASS WORTH BOOKING IS WORTH COACHING!!! REMEMBER ALSO THAT EVERY ONE HAS A SIGN ON THEM THAT SAYS “MAKE ME FEEL 26 SPECIAL”. GO OUT AND MAKE SOMEONE FEEL GOOD AND HAVE FUN AND THE SALES WILL COME!!! 27 PRE-PROFILE Introduce Yourself – “Is this a good time” or “do you have a minute”? I am calling on behalf of (Hostess’ Name) and I have a few questions to ask you about your skin care to be better prepared to serve you. FIRST, lets get some personal information for my files: - What is the correct spelling of your name and your address? What is your home and work telephone numbers? When is your birthday? NOW, tell me a little about your skin: - Do you consider your skin to be dry, normal, combination or oily? How do you best describe your pores? Do you experience problems with breaking out? What is your skin tone? What are your special needs for your skin? NOW, tell me: - What would you like to learn at your skin care class? Have you ever used Mary Kay? Are you currently using a skin care program? If so, does it have 5 steps? Remind guest to be a few minutes early so everyone can get acquainted before the class starts. Now say, “Guest name, I am a woman of my word, and you can count on me rain or shine, I trust I can also count on you also. We’re going to have a lot of fun! I look forward to meeting you personally on date and time of class.” Follow up immediately with a reminder post card. 28 Preliminary Coaching 1. Give your hostess any literature you may wish her to read and review it with her (but don’t overwhelm her!) Telephone coaching 1. Be cheerful and positive when calling your hostess. 2. Help her make a guest list and encourage her to call as quickly as possible. Emphasize having a least five guests. 2. Review with your hostess how hostess credit works and ask her about setting goal. Reemphasize bookings and outside orders. 3. Suggest that the hostess say, “I’d like to invite you to a complimentary facial at a skin care class conducted by a professional Beauty consultant. The class is on a reservation only basis – no maybes!” She’ll also want to recommend that guest wear comfortable clothing, preferably something with a loose neck. 3. Ask her for the guest list, including addresses and phone numbers, so you can pre-profile them. Also ask for the names and phone numbers of anyone who couldn’t attend so can try to book them later 4. Explain to your hostess that you’ll be calling in about two days to get her guest list. If time allows, you may want to offer to send invitation postcards to the guests 4. Remind the hostess having trouble booking of possible sources such as relatives, church, friends, neighbors, work colleagues. 5. Ask your hostess to keep it simple. She may serve refreshments after the class if she wants. 5. Remind the hostess to encourage her guests to be prompt. 6. Give your hostess “Just for You” brochure and explain the hostess credit program. Ask her to think about her hostess credit goal. 6. Discuss where you’ll be having the skin care class and be sure to let her know your needs. Review directions to her home. 7. Encourage your hostess to take outside orders. Remind her that any outside orders turned in the day of her class will count toward her hostess credit. You’ll want to show her how to complete an outside order form. 7. Reassure your hostess of your professionalism, and end the conversation with positive, enthusiastic expectations. 8. Plant the seeds for bookings and recruiting. Ask her whom she thinks would be interested in the career opportunity. You can put an asterisk beside their names to remind you to follow up. 9. Stress the value and importance of bookings and outside orders for increasing hostess points. 29 An adopted Consultant in Susan Director Susan Marshall’s unit developed the following suggested form and checklists to help a new Consultant organize her skin care class hostess coaching. You may wish to adapt these for your unit members.

Be sure to get a definite yes or not from each person. Call each one on the day of class to confirm. Two (2) future bookings ensure you 100 points towards your hostess credit and free Mary Kay products. Check with those unable to attend and see if she would like a facial or class of their own. Why short yourself these extra credits? Outside orders all count for your total sales, and your hostess points. This is the best and easiest way to really add to your hostess credit! Just show the enclosed beauty book to friends, neighbors, and co-workers who can’t attend to see what they may want to order. Use the enclosed outside order sheet. I’ll fill them all when I arrive. This is too easy! I will arrive about one hour early to set up, and will collect this packet back. I will also be calling you two days before the class for your confirmed guest list. If you have any questions, please call! Sincerely, (Consultant Name and Phone Number) P.S. you can count on me rain or shine. If for some reason you should need to reschedule, I ask for a 36 hour notice. *FOLLOW UP YOUR HOSTESS PACKET WITH A REMINDER POSTCARD* (It should arrive about 3 days before the class) If you have booked her at a class, go over briefly what’s in her packet and help her set her goals on her wish list. Let her know what she has to do to win the products she wants get her excited for her class and get a firm commitment for that date. Let her know that you will be calling her two days before the class for her confirmed guest list so that you may call them and find out their proper formulations for their skin type. Also, let her know that she can count on you to be there, “Can I count on you too?” Also, tell her that if she must reschedule, can she please let you know at least two days before, so that you can put someone else in her place. If you have booked her over the phone, mail her the packet with the personalized note in the front, if you have booked her in person, give her the packet, and then follow-up with the personalized note. THE NOTE IS CRUCIAL!!! 31 MARY KAY Dear Future Hostess: There were so many instructions to give you the last time we talked that I did not have a chance to suggest some tips that will make your skin care class more successful, 1. Invite 8 to 10 people to your class to be sure to have six. Sometimes, last minute problems cause a few to cancel. It might be a good idea to ask each to bring a guest to assure good attendance. 2. Please tell all of those you invite that they will receive a complimentary facial and be instructed in proper skin care techniques. 3. Also, tell them that I will bring the products with me so that they can take them home and start their skin care program immediately. 4. You will receive hostess points to be used toward FREE Mary Kay products for being the hostess. You will receive 50 points for holding your class on the originally scheduled date; 50 points for every guest who books her own skin care class; 10 points for each guest who attends your class; and 1 point for each dollar of your skin care class and outside sales. 5. An easy way to increase your hostess points is to obtain orders from those who can’t attend. Those presently on our skin care program might be running low on some items. Others could be interested in ordering cologne or other makeup needs. Outside orders count towards your hostess points and can make a big difference. 6. Plan to keep your refreshments simple. It is best to serve after the class has been completed. 7. On the day of the class, please call all those you’ve invited to remind them. 8. Your class is scheduled for at 9. I’ll be arriving about a half hour early to set everything up. SEE YOU THERE!!! Sincerely, Skin Care Consultant 32 .
