Preferred Hostess Program

From the "How to become a master booker" class

1. Select ten customers as your Preferred Hostesses
2. When making your next follow-up call, ask her if she'd like to pay full-price or take up to 20% off her reorder?
3. You'd like to get together with her once every season to get her opinion on the latest Mary Kay products.
4. When she shares her appointment with two or more (new) friends, she earns hostess credit!
   

Ten Preferred Hostesses would equal 40 classes per year--that's almost one class per week! At the average level ($300 sales per class) you would be selling more than $600 per month!

Maybe She Needs Me

It had been a long day; I was finishing a task
As I hurried past her, a little voice said, "ask!"
"Oh, not today," I told myself, "I'm tired and it shows.
"Besides, I might look foolish, and she'd likely just say no."

While drifting off to sleep that night, I saw her face again
I wondered what her life was like, her needs, her dreams, her pain
What if she'd been wishing for a friendly word and smile?
A chance to know somebody who would go the extra mile?
What if she'd been waiting for a break, an open door?
Was this the opportunity that she'd been praying for?

I saw the cars she might not drive, the rings she might not wear
Because I would not risk myself, to stop, to ask, to care.
So what if what I offer her is not her cup of tea?
That's a choice for her to make--how selfish can I be?

When all my dreams are realized I don't want to regret
The lives I wouldn't touch and change, the no's I didn't get
Oh let me live a true go-give and let my mission be
Not to think, "do I need her?" but "maybe she needs me!"
