CHECK IT OUT
For this direct sales recruiting game for stay at home mom businesses, as guests arrive, give them a fake check you made on your computer, payable to them, and signed with a made-up name.

(Write their name on it as they arrive.)

Also give them a certain amount of play money, to “cash” others checks.

They must then go around the room and look for the person who can cash their check.

Make sure each check has a different made up name.

Wonderful hostess party games to use as icebreakers! Guests are on a hunt for the person to cash the check, but that person does not exist. Meanwhile, she is mingling and getting to know other guests. Finally, someone will come to you to let you know that the person on her check is not present. When this happens, let the cat out of the bag!

They are the only ones able to cash their checks, by becoming consultants!

Do You Have a Party Plan Theme Book?

By creating your own theme party book, custimized with the parties you choose to offer, you can do both. Leave your theme book on the coffee table before your show, and guests will flip through it, finding a theme that matches their personality.

Then they'll be even more excited about dating a party with you!

HAWAII BOUND
This is a great hostess party game to be used for direct sales recruiting. Stand in front of your guests and tell them that you're going to on a trip to Hawaii and need some help figuring out what to bring. Each guest will need to name two items to bring on the trip. Once a guest cannot think of two unique items, that player is out, until only one player remains. That player is the winner.

At this time, talk about how your trip to Hawaii (or another place, you can alter any of the in home show party games to suit your needs) is free, paid for by your company as a bonus or paid for by your earnings as a consultant. Ask if anyone else would like a free trip to Hawaii, and set up opportunity interviews! A great direct sales recruiting game.

ARE YOU LISTENING
For this of the party games for consultants, as you are passing out your lapboards and catalogs, start to talk about yourself. Tell guests your name, husband's name, children's names, how long you've been married, and about how you got involved in your business. Mention what kinds of prizes you've won, how many parties, you've given, how long you've been in the business, etc. Make sure you are listing specific information.

When you are done with your big speech, ask guests to take out the index card you've given them and then say, “Ok. Number One. What is my husband's name?” You'll get a lot of “Oh, I wasn't listening!” You can bet they'll be listening next time!

When you have a lot of repeat guests, change this up a bit (which you can do with all of the party plan games). This is a great game for direct sales recruiting as you can show guests that even though you are busy, anyone can do this wonderful job too!

DIRECT SALES RECRUITING GAME

Glue each description on its corresponding card, on the opposite side of the picture.

Also make up cards for any special offers you have, like hostess only gifts, bonus buys, free products for holding a party, recruiting info, etc.

As guests arrive, have them choose a card, picture side up.

Now have guests take a turn and demo the item they have chosen, using the cards to guide them. You may need to coach each guest a little by showing the item yourself and talking a bit about it.

This will show you the guests that would be natural as consultants! You can tell them that they did such a marvelous job at demoing the products that they could earn money for it next time. Great hostess party games for direct sales recruiting.

They really must listen ---no repeating.

The one with the most checks (and closest to correct total) wins!

I was THIRTY SOMETHING, living through THE WONDER YEARS with my FAMILY and my husband, taking ONE DAY AT A TIME. We were doing okay, but THE FACTS OF LIFE were that we were not born with SILVER SPOONS in our mouths. Our savings were in JEOPARDY and we didn't want to be in debt for the rest of the DAYS OF OUR LIVES. I finally told my husband, "It's time to get out of THIS OLD HOUSE" or at least make some HOME IMPROVEMENTS.

I don't want to start a FAMILY FEUD, but I'm YOUNG AND RESTLESS and I want to contribute to the family finances. It's time for me to GET SMART. Don't be THE CRITIC, I'm IN SEARCH OF / AMERICA'S MOST WANTED job!"

FAMILY MATTERS to me and I don't want to miss out on PRIME TIME with the kids by hiring THE NANNY. offers a great opportunity. THE PRICE IS RIGHT, no investment! Part-time work with full time pay! And WHO'S THE BOSS? I am! But could I get up in front of a FULL HOUSE of PERFECT STRANGERS for 60 MINUTES and tell them how to take home their BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL merchandise and become DESIGNING WOMEN?

"Sure," my Supervisor said. "We'll be here to COACH you and if you need a GUIDING LIGHT, just call!" Of course, I have experienced some GROWING PAINS, but I was able to spread my WINGS and watch my business BLOSSOM. (COMPANY) has made me feel I am part of A-TEAM. I have GOOD TIMES at home with ALL MY CHILDREN. My family has extra income and we've even added PICKET FENCES!

My husband CHEERS when my weekly paycheck arrives! Soon, I'LL FLY AWAY to PARADISE...a dream vacation for which (COMPANY) will pay. My husband and I will be like HONEYMOONERS again, sharing HAPPY DAYS in ANOTHER WORLD. (COMPANY) may not be for everyone; as they say - DIFFERENT STROKES for different folks! But, if you are MARRIED WITH CHILDREN and have strong FAMILY TIES, I highly recommend (COMPANY) to you!

CANDY GAME
Here's another story for party plan games and direct sales recruiting. This one has the guests keep track of the number of candies they hear in the story.

In ( year ), I was bored with my life, stuck in a dead-end job, and I wanted to find something that would be fulfilling NOW AND LATER. So, despite the SNICKERS of others and their opinion that I was an AIR HEAD, I set out to follow my DREAM. It was hard getting started, I wasn't exactly supported with HUGS and KISSES, but before I knew it, I was on the ROLL. Soon I was making a JUNIOR MINT!!!

Demonstrating is MOUNDS of fun!! At first, I had BUTTERFINGERS, but others were LIFESAVERS. Those SMARTIES gave me pointers, and before I knew it, I had earned a trip to Hawaii!! Now I don't mind saying good-bye to my BABY RUTH each night when I go out to work. To anybody wanting to get out of a CRUNCH, why not do what I do? Though not for everyone, we all deserve a change to enjoy our work and be winners!
