What is coaching: Definition and 138 Discussions

So, I was on a training call with Belinda Ellsworth last week and she was going over her 10 step Host Coaching plan. :love: I love her. So much info she has...that lady is a GENIUS. Anyway, she mentioned that she ALWAYS sends the invites for her hosts, and REQUIRES a guest list. She says...

I have a party on Aug. 18th and haven't been able to make contact with the hostess since the time I dropped off her hostess packet. I have left phone messages, e-mails and nothing. I have not been able to go over her packet, help her set a goal, talk about a time change I may have to make...

I have to preface this by saying, I hate the phone. The phone, not my friend. I get flustered and stammer and stutter and feel like a total dingbat when I get on the phone. Especially with people I don't know well. So I did procrastinate this call (all my other 4 shows were for people I see...

I am so excited!!! My first four cooking shows have been for people that are relatives or close friends, so it's been really hard to host coach them. They get excited when they think of ten people to invite. :rolleyes: So I am having my first show with someone I don't know very well (my...

why is it some people are so freaking hard to host coach. They have the "I have done this before, I know what I'm doing attitude"! It is annoying!! I tried my best to host coach my mother in law and that was her response every time I asked her if she mailed her invites. So what did she do...

I would like to know what you ladies find to be the best "method" of host coaching? Do you like the way PC does it and the scripts they have or have some of you come up with your own?

I was at my cluster meeting last night and we were listening to the host couching workshop from conference last year. The leader mentioned she put a host Q &A flyer in her host packet. Does anyone have anything like this? Thanks

Last night at our cluster meeting we listened to part of a workshop from last years conference about Host Coaching. During the one call that they leader of the workshop did she mentioned a Host Coaching Q &A flyer she put in her host packets. Does anyone have anything like this that they...

I remember hearing on a training CD, Don Fount talk about "if you aren't doing lots of catalog shows, you are missing the boat". Well, when I first started with PC, I thought having catalog hosts would be great...not a lot of work on my end and more sales. However, after 2 years in the...

I am a slacker (kind of) when it comes to host coaching. I know I need to get more consistent, so please no jokes or lectures...I get enough of those from others in my cluster. :p ANYWAY, here's my dilemma, and I hope you can help me. I have a show scheduled for March 31. I hate carrying...

Does anyone have some kind of schedule they follow for host coaching and customer care calls? Something like: One month before show - send host packet 2 Weeks before - coaching call And on and on. I don't have any shows scheduled until February so I'm using January to re-focus and...

Happy New Year to everybody!!! I have a couple of catty shows and thought by having this checklist, it will increase my catty sales averages. I just started doing this in January, so I won't know the results until the shows close. I just wanted to share this with everybody. P.S...

Wow - I REALLY dropped the ball and need to do some major coaching ASAP (after the holiday weekend) and catch up with my January hostesses. My grandmother passed away last week and I had spent the week preceeding her death spending every possible moment with her and this past week grieving...

Hi All, I am fairly new and I have a December show hosted by a former consultant. She booked at a fair and is using the website. However she only web invited 25 people. She was a consultant 5-6 yrs ago. Does anyone have any tips on how I should be host coaching her? I've done my calls...

I don't know if Host Coaching is the right place to ask this question, but here goes! Does anyone do anything special for their hostess when her show goes over $1000? I heard at conference about a $1000 CLUB where the host will get free groceries every time they hold a show with me, 10% off...

Hey, I am hoping everyone can help me out I was wondering when everyone does host coaching calls, ie how close to the show and how many you do and what do you say I know this sounds kind of silly, my director did have training but I did not go to it and she is now over 300 miles away any help...

Do you use PP, Outlook, a calendar? I've been experimenting on what works best for me. I think my next step is redesigning my "Host Information" sheet (which I designed myself anyway cause I wanted it specific to how I do things) and adding a block in the upper right to track the dates I need...

Does any one else do this? How has it worked for you? I'm reading partnering with your hostess by Steve Wiltshire. his system is book the show, schedule a date within 1 week to pick up guest list and postage, on that date you also plan the entire show. Then last contact is the day prior to...

Okay - I am running into an issue where I have alot of hosts who are "every year" or "Twice a Year" hosts for me. I love them to death, but I am struggling with coaching them. They know my spiel, and expect it - but it's with an attitude of "Yeah, Yeah, you've said it all before, and I know...

Do you put their packets together differently? I'd assume the only difference is no postcards. How about host coaching, how do you handle that? I have one this month and one next. I'm about to send my packet out and would like to know the best way to do the follow-up. Thanks, I love you guys!

When you're coaching the hosts to hand out brochures to those who cannot attend, do you have them give their friends a deadline for ordering? (i.e. "Make sure you have all of the people you give catalogs turn in their orders before your party/within X amount of days after your party ends").

What do you guys do in your last host coaching call before the show to ensure the host calls and reminds her guests? My director tells her hosts that she is doing a scary spoon contest...any other ideas?

I'm sure there was a thread about this before, but I've ben looking and haven't found it. Who does in person host coaching? I made a deal with myself that I would do it for my next five shows. Any suggestions?

What are the 3 calls when coaching a host and what do you go over on those 3 calls?

Does anyone have a timeline sheet for your 3 host coaching calls before a show? Like when to mail the host packet, when to call etc?
