Recruiting Games >10 Ticket Game<
You need a roll of numbered tickets. You can use playing cards in lieu of make sure you have 20 matching pairs
it goes something like this:
"Is everyone ready to play a game? I have this lovely gift here in my hand." show gift.
"Has anyone here played the 10 ticket game before? The rules are really simple. I have 10 tickets. You earn a ticket for each question you ask me about my business. There is one question I am especially hoping you will ask so if we get to the last ticket and no one has asked me I will hang on to the ticket until you can guess what it is. Once all the tickets are given out we'll do a draw and the winner will receive the mystery gift. Are you ready? Let's begin."
examples of questions often asked
"How long have you been selling Tupperware?"
"What made you decide to go into it?"
"What is your favourite/least favourite thing about your business?"
"How many parties do you do a month?"
"How much time do you spend a day/week?"
"How many people sell Tupperware (in my area)?"
"Do you have territories?"
"How many people on your team?"
"How much does it cost to get started?"
"Is there a minimum you have to sell?"
"Where is the farthest you have had to travel?"
if someone asks about a product my answer is
"That is a great question, I love answering questions about our wonderful products and I would love to tell you all about it right after we award this lovely gift."
I want people to learn about the product but my number one product I can give them is the Tupperware Opportunity.
There are many more questions that may be asked or variations of the above. Remember I said there was one question I really wanted. Can you guess what it is?
"How much do you make?"
I go tell them that is just the question I was waiting for.
Remember if you are playing the ten ticket game be honest. Answer to the best of your ability. Think about what went through your head before you signed up.If you are new or if you don't know. Say so.
" That's a great question, you know I asked the same thing before I decided to start my business last month."
Be excited, have fun and your team will grow at every party. After all who wouldn't want to do what you are doing.
>3 Minutes<
This is a variation of the ten ticket game. All you need is you, an egg timer, your gift and your guests. (thanks to SG)
"Is Everyone ready to play a game? This one is called 3 minutes. The rules are really simple." give wrapped gift to hostess.
"Ok so I am going to start my egg timer for 3 minutes. When the timer goes off the person holding the gift gets to open and keep it. The way this works is each time you ask me a question about my business you get to hold the gift til I finish answering. So the more questions you ask themore likely you are to get the gift."
Remember the reason for recruiting games is so that you can tell people about the Tupperware opportunity in a fun engaging way. Throw away assumptions about the people in front of you. Often people don't think "gee i am going to go to this party and come back home as a consultant". Sometimes something simple like a night away from the kids will be what makes someone decide to sign with you. We are not all motivated by the same things. Some people are motivated by the money, by creating new friendships, by free product and trips. If you are excited about what you have to offer they will be too.
Ask everyone when they place their order if they would consider doing what you do. If one person in particular asked alot of questions invite them for an information session. You can say something like
"Wow Betty you seemed really into the ten ticket game. Have you ever thought about starting your own home based business? You know i would never expect someone to make a big decision like that without learning more. Perhaps we could get togther for coffee this week and i could show you more of what we have to offer."
Dating Games
So you need to keep busy. Sure you can start calling all your friends, neighbours, co-workers etc to date parties, but you need to get beyond your own circle of friends as well. The best place to do this is at your party. Don't forget to ask every person at the end of the party when they are doing up their orders if they would like to host their own party. Sometimes people are just waiting to see if you will ask them. Dating games help you to determine who might be a good candidate and also allow you to get parties right away. Anyone willing to play a dating game is probably considering dating a party anyhow.
>Smidget Game<
You will need at least 20 smidgets (for 5 item #76105)
in each smidget you will need to put a piece of paper
on the paper will be one of three things.
"Free Gift"
"Free Shipping"
"Party!"
Give each person a smidget at the beginning of the party. Tell them to hang onto them but don't peek inside. Once you have gone through introductions ask everyone to bring out their smidget. Now ask them what they would do with their smidget. Once everyone has had a chance to say what they would do with it. Say:
"Wow so we discovered some really great uses for the mighty smidget. Now who hear thinks they might like to keep their smidget? Well you can if you are willing to play the Smidget game." Tell your guests about the pieces of paper in each one. They have a 1 in 3 chance of getting a party.
" So who thinks they would like to play, remember you get to keep the smidget if you play no matter what is on the paper inside. If you want to play you have to be willing to have your party if that is what comes up"
This game is good because it highlights who would be willing to host a party. Even if they don't "win" the party you know who to approach later.
