Parties are the best way to build your business. A lot of direct sellers wonder how many parties they need to do to reach their goals, and that’s what we explore in this episode.

If you are not building a team or working toward a big incentive like a trip, one party a week (four a month) will be a good rhythm to get you in front of enough new people, get the experience you need, and build your customer base.

If you are building a team or working toward a trip, strive to do two parties a week (eight a month). This will bring you a steady stream of new people to add to your recruiting pipeline, provide training opportunities for your team members, and give you enough time to build relationships.

After establishing a solid first line, you can cut back to four to six parties a month to have more time to work with your team and develop leaders.

Building a business by doing parties is like getting in shape by going to the gym. At first, it’s awkward, confusing, and hard, but once you develop the habits you need and know what you’re doing, it becomes part of your routine.

But there is a point of diminishing returns, and if you do too many parties, you’ll get burned out, and your results could actually decrease.
