Make Money By Doing Home Parties And Selling Gift Items From Catalogs!

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

Make Money Easily With A Home Party Business!

Here’s How Easy It Can Be:

#1: Find a woman you know to host the party, and have her invite 20 girls to her house for a fun filled party where various types of gift items will be available for sale!

#2: Get there a few minutes before the guests arrive so you can set up a table with a dozen or more different items that you purchased (with some of your previous profits) at a 25% discount from the catalog prices.

#3: While she serves chips, dips and sodas, or coffee and cake, you give everyone a catalog, a sheet of paper and a pen to use. Play a game or two, show a few products that you have with you, and encourage them to order some of these cool items!

#4: After the items you brought have served their purpose of being samples that the girls could see up close, you can then sell these for the normal price right off the table! Also try to convince a few party guests to date a party with you within the upcoming two weeks! This is a very important step…keep booking parties and fill up your appointment book!

#5: Have them all make a list of what they want to buy, you total their lists, and they give you cash or write you a check for their totals. You explain that the party hostess will have their merchandise within a couple of weeks and she will drop it off to them or call them when they can stop by and pick it up from her!

#6: After the guests leave, you total up the party sales total, then take that grand total, and figure out what 10% would be, and tell the hostess that she can select that amount worth of FREE items for hosting the party.

#7: When you get home, you go online, to our website where you will have a special code for 25% off, and you will input the order of all the things which are going to be shipped via UPS to the house of the hostess, including her free items, which you pay for out of your profits! You submit payment with PayPal or a credit card, and we ship the items via UPS to you or to your hostess!

#8: You keep the remainder of the money as your commission! It’s that simple! Then you do more parties in the same way, over and over…

Please Click Here To See These Wonderful Money Making Catalogs! They are really nice and there are several different ones to choose from! You can even skip the party plan, if you feel it is not for you, and make money by showing these to people, one on one, and taking orders!

Back to the party scenario for a minute, please…let’s imagine that you offered her ten percent (knowing that you make 25%) and her party sales total $800 (which can easily happen) then you tell her she gets to select $80 worth of merchandise! Of the $800, you are sending in 75% or $600 for that merchandise, and the $80 worth that you are giving her as a thank you gift, will cost you $60, so your total cost would be $660, and there would not be a shipping charge for an order of that size. You would net $140 for yourself…Not Bad for a two hour party!?

This is why so many people sell Tupperware, and that’s why others host or hostess the parties!

All of our catalogs are ideal for these types of home parties! Imagine what your income would be like if you had four or five parties each week? It is all up to you! We are willing to sell the items at a 25% discount to ordinary people who really want to earn some money for themselves! 

Or just get a few catalogs, show them around, and take some orders! We’ve had customers who began with one single catalog, showed it around, took orders, made money, and then put that money back into their business. They ordered a few more catalogs so that they could have extras to loan out to people for a few days! The word would spread, and they would gain more customers, through word of mouth advertising! Always be sure to get these catalogs back and don’t ever be afraid to ask the people if they want to order anything!

Maybe you will also go to GoDaddy.com and set up your own simple little website, where you can sell items, which you buy at wholesale from us, use a PayPal account to collect the funds from your customers online, PayPal us the 75% (your cost) then we can ship the items to you, or to them if you would rather, and you can mail them a catalog and hopefully get more orders from them in the future!

How to Convert B2B Software Free Trial Users into Paying Customers

Saturday, November 21st, 2009

“We generate quite a few leads from the free trial of our software, but not enough leads convert into paying customers. What can we do?”

It’s a question I’ve been asked by clients, seen on LinkedIn and other online forums, and a problem I had to help solve while working in the marketing/PR department of multiple software companies. Since free trial offers are a main source of lead generation for many B2B software companies, it’s imperitive that these leads are converted if sales revenue goals are to be met.

Free Trials Alone Won’t Sell Software

I believe the root of this problem comes from the mentality of many software marketers that once a prospective customer uses their software they’ll love it, and once they love it they’ll eagerly pay money to have it. The prospect will convert from lead (free trial user) to paying customer without much influence from marketing or sales because the software will basically sell itself.

Unfortunately this way of thinking doesn’t take into account:

  • Prospects are probably not only using your free trial, they are also using other vendor’s trials for comparison
  • Prospects are busy and may only spend a few minutes with your software then not use it again
  • Prospects may not understand how to use your software correctly and therefore not experience its full value
  • Most B2B software sales involve several people making the purchase decision, so unless all of them are using your free trial, you’re not influencing everyone you need to in order to close the sale


Focus on Lead Nurturing

Having a lead nurturing program specifically for free trial users is the most effective method I’ve found for converting them into sales. It’s important to note that free trial users are usually further along in the sales cycle than most leads, meaning they’re usually past the ‘information gathering’ stage and into the ‘evaluation’ stage. Follow-up contact with free trial users needs to focus on providing information that makes it clear:

  • How your software is different from and better than competitors
  • How using your software is better than trying to solve their problem themselves


Lead Nurturing Tactics

There are many ways to nurture leads, but here are a few that I’ve found to be successful. If at all possible, invest in marketing automation software (such as Genoo) and a solid CRM system (like Salesforce.com) to ensure timely follow-up and the ability to track the success of your lead nurturing program and optimize it for even better results as time goes on.

Email

When prospects submit their personal information to register for your free trial, offer a simple way to opt-in to receiving emails from your company. To encourage prospects to opt-in, offer a valuable ‘how to’ guide or other marketing asset that they immediately receive.

Send a confirmation email to all prospects thanking them for registering for the free trial, and include a link to brief instructional materials or FAQ document that they can download to ensure they use your software trial correctly. If you offer customer support to free trial users, make sure to explain how to get help. Ask the prospect if there are other people in their organization who are evaluating your software who would like to participate in the free trial, and provide an easy, fast way for them to send the trial info to colleagues. If possible, send the email from the salesperson that is assigned to the lead, and provide that salesperson’s contact information.

If free trial users haven’t converted into buyers by a certain time period (whatever is appropriate for your particular software) and have opted-in to receiving emails, send them a link to a document, video, podcast, or other marketing asset directly comparing your software to competitors. You might also send a link to a case study describing the success of a customer that is similar to the prospect. One client I worked with had great success with a case study we did on a customer that had switched to their software from a competitor.

If it’s possible, send prospects a link to an ROI calculator or some method for prospects to calculate how much money or time they can expect to save or amount of revenue they can expect to generate, etc. by using your software.

Direct Mail

Use direct mail to send marketing materials discussed above to prospects who don’t opt-in to emails. You can send the materials themselves, or send postcards with links to get the materials online.

Phone

The salesperson assigned to the lead should call the free trial user 2-3 days after they register, simply introducing themselves and inquiring as to the user’s experience with the trial so far, if they have any questions, etc. Ask prospects what problem(s) they’re having that drove them to evaluate your software, which is a good way to break the ice and engage the prospect in a conversation about their needs and how your software can help solve them.
