Schemes to Dream – Direct Sales Meeting Themes

Direct Sales Meeting Themes

In any situation, having a unifying theme in place often increases participation, excitement and results. Why should it be any different in the world of direct selling? However, while many direct sellers understand the importance of coming up with direct sales meeting themes, when the time to start brainstorming rolls around, coming up with ideas can get pretty intimidating. Fortunately, with a little creativity and a lot of dedication, just about anything can be transformed into one or more direct sales meeting themes.

Think Seasonally For Meeting Themes

Often, you can find inspiration and ideas simply by pulling out a calendar. What season are you in? Is it Spring, Summer, Winter or Fall? Each one of these times of the year offers unique opportunities to build a unifying theme for your direct sales meeting. More specifically, you can look for particular holidays or events that unfold throughout the year and run with them. While Fall may make many think of falling leaves, others think of pumpkins, others think of Thanksgiving while others still will focus on County Fairs. Obviously, there’s a great deal of room for interpretation here, so try to see the seasonal calendar through the eyes of your direct selling team. Google the internet for strange seasonal holidays to build your theme around.

Plant Seeds For Future Of Sales Business

This is my favorite theme. One of the principle rules of direct sales is that you reap what you sow. What you do today effects your business 3 months down the road. If you’re trying to train your team of direct sellers to understand this overriding principle, why not actually use seeds to do it?

You could request that your team members each bring in a packet of seeds – whichever ones they choose. Then, you supply them with potting soil or peat moss, planters and gloves and let them work their magic. Find ways to decorate the potters so that every time they look at their plant, they are reminded to get to work growing their business as well.

Think Up A Vacation Meeting Theme

Everyone loves vacations. After all, one of the reasons entrepreneurs set out into the world of direct selling is to take control of their futures and have more time for families and fun. With a vacation theme at your next party, you can stress the importance of working hard now to retire early, or working hard now so that you can play hard later. How about a vacation theme called “business made in the shade” and ask everyone to wear sunglasses! Have some fun! That is what keeps people coming back for more!

Think Outside The Box Team Meetings

If you are dealing with first-time direct sellers, you could easily stress that they are delving into exciting, uncharted territory where the sky is the limit as far as success is concerned. Meeting themes could be the Dora the Explorer, or pioneering your new business. No matter which of these themes you use or what other themes you come up with on your own, set out to be creative and captivating and see what happens next!

Meeting makers make more money! When you get your team to meetings your team retention and long term growth will increase.  Teach your team how to grow a year round business with more home party plan team meeting ideas.
