After everything just explained to you, I’m sure you’re wondering, “How do I get started?” It’s quite simple. Remember, the first five people from your Contact List? Well, call them up, invite them over and share the Vemma products with them. This set-up is called a Home Event and it is one of the best ways to kick-start your Vemma business. Holding a Home Event in your living room, office, clubhouse, or even your kitchen provides a very relaxed and comfortable environment for everyone.

Remember, making a presentation doesn’t always have to be as substantial as a Home Event. Your presentation may be as simple as a three-way or conference call, a one-on-one meeting in a coffee shop or an online discussion via an interactive meeting tool. Keep building relationships wherever and whenever you can. Sharing the product with people you encounter is like “planting seeds” that can grow into great relationships, and a perfect business that can reward your family like never before.

Here’s How to Set Up Your Home Event

Invite Your Guests

Reach out to your contacts via e-mail and phone to send them an invitation to your Home Event. We recommend scheduling the Home Event on a Tuesday or Thursday evening around 7 p.m. Please ask your guests to arrive 15–25 minutes before the meeting begins.
Arrange to have one of your Upline Success Coaches attend your event, so he or she may share his or her experience with the group.
Set a goal. How many people do you want at your Home Event? You can expect a 50 percent show ratio. Plan accordingly! If you want to have a minimum of five guests, then you need to have at least 10 guests confirmed prior to the event. The more people you invite, the better chance of getting a bigger turn-out.
Decide if you have accommodations for people who need to bring their kids. The night should be free from distractions, such as children interrupting or cell phones ringing.

How to Invite

The invitation process is very important and plays a pivotal role in the success of your event. Pay the price with this important step and everything else will be easy! Use some of the following key phrases to invite guests to your event:

“Hello _____, this _____ calling.”
“I understand you’re a good friend of _____…”
“If you recall, we spoke about a week ago…”
“Is this a convenient time for you to talk?”
“What are you doing Tuesday evening at 7 p.m.?”
“We’ve scheduled a private Home Event and are inviting a few key people who we like, trust and respect…”
“Do me a favor…”
“I want your feedback/opinion; can I count on you?”
“If something comes up, please call me ASAP so I can fill your seat!”
“I understand, but before I go, may I ask you one question?” “If you could improve any aspect of your financial situation, what would it be?”

Confirm a Few Days Before Home Event

For guests attending your Vemma Home Event, remind them and confirm 1–3 days before your event. The week can get hectic and people may forget.
Call or leave a message with a friendly reminder that you’re looking forward to meeting them at your Vemma Home Event on (day) and (time).

Set up Your Home Event—Keep it Simple

Pick a location you feel comfortable in and will accommodate the number of guests attending, such as a living room, home office, clubhouse, etc. Remember to tidy up the location and spot clean if necessary.
Set up early. Arrange seating and set up slightly less number of guests expected. You can set up more chairs if needed, but you don’t want to have empty seats.
Play some low, pleasant music and burn a scented candle as guests arrive. Turn off the music once the presentation begins and turn it back on immediately following the meeting as guests leave.
Set up a simple display of chilled products and make sure you have enough Vemma products on hand for guests to taste and take home as a sample.
If you would like to provide snacks, keep it simple with finger foods, such as chips, pretzels, grapes, cheese, etc. If you want to provide beverages, offer water or iced tea—no alcohol. Keep it simple and professional; duplication is the key.
Have a TV and DVD player set up to play the Vemma DVDs. We recommend the Reinvent Your Life DVD.
Have product CDs, company magazines, product brochures and Vemma Voice labeled with your contact information for guests to take home.
Print out order forms for people to supply their information on the spot, so you may refer to it later for follow-up and placement strategy.
Decide on the date for your next Home Event and create flyers with the details. Print out copies of the flyer and pass them out at the end of your Home Event.
Minimize distractions.

Start the Event on Time—Have Fun

Even if guests are running late, start your meeting at the scheduled time and cater to the guests who arrive on time.
Introduce yourself, welcome your guests and briefly describe the purpose of the get-together.
Introduce the speaker for the evening (your Upline Success Coach) and let him or her lead the presentation to help your guests make a well-informed decision to be a part of your Vemma team. This may also be done by speaker phone if necessary.
Play the Reinvent Your Life DVD.
Talk about product testimonials.
Give a brief overview of the Compensation Plan or play the Understanding Our Business Model DVD.
Pass around the products for your guests to sample and enjoy.

After Your Vemma Home Event

Be available at the end of the evening to answer questions from individual guests. Make sure you listen, listen, listen!
Take product orders and set up Auto-delivery orders.
Hand out the Vemma Action Plan to new Brand Partners
Follow up, lead by example and duplicate! Help new Brand Partners schedule their own Vemma Home Event.

Keep in mind, this business is all about duplication. No matter what you do, those you bring into Vemma will duplicate your habits and commitments. Make sure you are setting the right example.

Keep your business simple and recognize that you will build a team where everyone does a little bit. Through time and duplication, amazing things will happen! Build something extraordinary together!

Congratulations, you’ve now completed all the steps in the Vemma Action Plan. You’re on your way to starting and building a successful Vemma business. Best of luck! Remember, we are here for you every step of the way.
