Hi ...

 

Technology is such a game changer, isn’t it?

 

Think about laptop computers, the internet and cell phones.

 

They would have seemed like science fiction 40 or 50 years ago.

 

Here’s a stunning example.

 

Back in the day (I’m talking 1993 and 1994) EE’s show average was around $500. 

A $600 show was considered “pretty good”.
 

A $400 show was considered “so-so, but acceptable”. 

 

But here's the thing.  Shows easily took 4 or 5 hours to do.  Often they took six!

 

But nevertheless, when we had meetings and did recognition, everyone got really excited when folks were standing up for $600 or $700 shows.

 

Excited... until the day someone did a $1,000 show.

 

Then folks went crazy!

 

Selling $1,000 of Black Art in an afternoon? 

 

That was just bananas!

 

Folks were so excited that the host of that meeting broke out the bubbly and served champagne! 

 

As we all clinked glasses, consultants marveled at how so much art could be sold in a single show. 

 

We all thought it would be a rare event. 

 

Some kind of aberration.

 

An outlier.

 

So, we called this amazing anomaly… a “Champagne Show”.

 

Little did we know that Champagne Shows would soon become commonplace.

 

Expected even.

 

Was it the product line?

 

Or was it that consultants started believing it was possible?

 

We really didn’t know.

 

Nor did we care.

 

We were just excited about it.

 

I tell you all that to say this.

 

History is repeating itself.

 

We expected Zoom Parties to be around $250 to $300.

 

But instead, they’re tipping the scales at $700, $800 and $900.

 

And $1,000 parties are happening as well.

 

But not only that, these big parties are also coming with a crazy number of bookings.

 

And I do mean crazy.

 

For example, Greta Douglas from Boston had her first Zoom party a couple weeks ago.

 

It was a Champagne Show.

 

And it had SEVEN bookings!

 

Hence Greta’s phrase, “Sipping with Seven”.

 

Get it?

 

Sipping champagne… with seven bookings.

 

Wow.

 

And all that goodness came in one hour… while sitting at her kitchen table.

 

SMH!  What does one say to that?

 

Technology is indeed a game changer.

 

And history is indeed repeating itself.

 

Greta is claiming more of these kinds of parties in the future.

 

She sees EE 2.0 as her outlet for having fun… and making $200 per party while doing it.

 

She says a big key for her was coaching her hostess to dream big and have a BHAG.

 

(For those who aren’t familiar with BHAG, it stands for Big Hairy Audacious Goal.)

 

Next, Greta says, “I make my Zoom party an experience”. 

 

She strives to create a Zoom party experience that is so powerful, it makes the guests want to invite her into their circle of family and friends. 

 

When asked by her upline, Bernadine Kirkland, how many parties she wanted to book... Greta’s response was “ALL OF THEM.” 

 

She feels like, “If you’re not going to shop with me, you’re going to book with me!”

 

And she definitely prefers the booking.

 

If you went back in time and told EE consultants in the early 90’s, that consultants of the future...

 

They would have surely said…

 

You crazy mon!

 

I know they would have said that… because that’s what I would have said.

 

It’s all pretty amazing!

 

And so is Greta Douglas.

 

Lets all lift a glass and congratulate her for “sipping with seven”.

 

Then go make your own ruckus.

 

See you at the top,
