Books to Build Your Business
Where ̶ and How
̶ to Find Customers When You
Run Out of Family and Friends
$29.95
Back in 1998, I decided to pull together all of the strategies,
skills and techniques I had developed in nearly 20 years of
direct selling into a series of books on how to build a
successful party plan business.
My first book was
The Lemon Aid Lead Alphabet: Where to find
customers when you run out of Family and Friends. And right
away it became a bestseller in the direct selling industry and
the leading handbook on building a top business and team. Why?
Because I wrote it to be practical!
There are many out there who claim to motivate you to be better,
coach you to be better, and provide you with "systems" and "goal
setting strategies" that should make you a better direct selling
professional. But party plan isn't about systems or goals or
"feel good about yourself and your business" platitudes.
Check out this video introduction...
Direct Selling the Party Plan Way
Building a successful party plan business is not about systems, personality, or buying
"leads" from online sources. It's about doing the basics well:
- Finding customers in a natural way Attracting ̶ not attacking ̶ potential party hosts
- Conducting your parties in a professional yet fun manner that keep your customers and hosts asking for more and lining up to host your next party
- Sharing your opportunity with others without being pushy (or shove-y!) to build a solid, profitable team
But direct selling does not stand still. New technologies such as the Internet and social
marketing (YouTube, etc.) have revolutionized your industry.
That said, it's still the basics done well and adapted to these
new developments ̶ not the technologies themselves ̶ that
will make a party plan professional tops.
Introducing Where to
Find Customers When You Run Out of Family and Friends Second
Edition
For over a decade I took notes and made updates to my copy of
The Lead Alphabet in anticipation of
publishing a completely revised and updated edition
incorporating my experience gleaned from:
- Working with top leaders in the Party Plan industry
- Providing consulting services to newly formed businesses as well as established party plan
companies
- Holding parties and recruiting ̶ even leading my own team (which I grew to over 600 consultants in a year and a half
In short, I've been out in the field working like you in order
to adapt and update my concepts and ideas so that you can have
the the latest information you can get in finding new customers,
hosts, and recruits.
Easy-to-Read, Easy-to-Use Ideas and
Concepts
Just like the original edition, this new
Where to Find
Customers book is organized by the letters of the alphabet
("advertising" is under "A", "bulletin boards" are under "B",
etc.). And throughout the book, I challenge you to
TWIST the way
you look at finding customers ̶ to think "outside of the box"
̶ so you'll see possibilities you've never before considered.
In fact, I'll bet you'll immediately see several new ideas for
finding customers from the partial list below of topics covered

Ideal Guidebook for Anyone Owning a Business
Even though my original book was written for direct selling
party-plan people, I've had hundreds of small business owners as
well as others relying on personal relationship to sell their
products and services ask for the book.
So this updated edition
has been expanded and massaged to offer my unique and successful
concepts to those business owners outside of direct selling.
(If
you have friends or acquaintances who own their own business,
tell them about this book!)
