I love Rupert Everret. Depending on the lighting he can be strikly hot or not.  Anyway not to show case my singleness, Rupert stars in the Movie An Ideal Husband, with Minnie Driver, it is a great movie and I recommend it.

The premise behind The Ideal Husband is that there is a perfect man out there for you, so don’t settle!

Er… Ok Party Plan Pat, How does this help me build a solid home party business?  Glad you asked.

Thomas Merton, author and spiritual writer says, “the biggest human temptation is to settle for too little!”

By holding on to antiquated strategies that don’t work, you are settling for less than the best.

What can you expect when you settle for less than the best?

“The customers who are willing to pay you the least will always demand the most.” ~ Mark Sanborn

So What Is A Red Velvet Rope Policy?

It is a policy that will keep you happy!  It is a policy that ensures your best work.  It is a policy that eliminates frustomers all the while attracting “the ideal customer!”

During my 30 min. Consults I ask people to tell me what criteria they have in place to determine who qualifies for their time.

Boy, so many people balk at this question.  Well my upline told me not to exclude anyone.  You never know when you are 3 feet away from gold!  Oh yeah?  Well this is what I have to say, if you had done your research in the first place, you would have to guess where the gold is (see the story on the 3 foot rule

When you value yourself enough to identify the qualities and traits of those with whom you do your best work, you give your self an immeasurable advantage over other direct sales reps and home party consultants struggling to serve a herd of the hard-to-please crowd!

Creating a Red Velvet Rope Policy of working only with ideal clients, clients with whom you do your best work, is not just about you. It’s also about (and for) your clients.  When you work with customers and clients that embody the personality traits and interests that inspire you to do your best work, you automatically save time and energy and earn more money as a result.  Why? Because working with clients you naturally resonate with is easy and effortless, allowing you more time to find more client like them and make sales in less time ~ Michael Port

Action Step:

Take a moment and think about the qualities of your best customers, business associates and/or clients.

Here’s who I work best with

• Intelligent
• Positive
• Quick learners
• Daring
• Contrarians (outside the box thinkers)
• Creative
• Open to new ideas
• Well read
• Fearless
• Determined
• Teachable
• Coachable
• Honest & Ethical
• Hard working
• Prompt
• Committed to excellence
• Do not make excuses!

These are the people who inspire me.  They are the ones who don’t drain my energy.  They are they who I am willing to go the extra-mile for.

What about you?

As Mark Sanborn teaches, “Learn to walk away from an unprofitable sale. You’ll do a better job of selling and serving customers when you feel you’ve received a fair price for your effort!”

It’s been a plum, pleasing pleasure.
