The "party plan" model of direct selling--introducing products through home parties, social gatherings, and fund-raisers--has been the route to financial freedom for millions. This inspiring, hands-on manual, written by an author who has achieved unprecedented success herself, shows other women how they can generate more bookings, more sales, and more business leads at their parties, as well as build a team of independent party planners, and drive up their own commissions.

I enjoyed this book very much. I immediately put some tips to work. And I had a WONDERFUL online party with several sales. More importantly, she gave me the encouragement I needed to do it.

The only downside of this book is that it's really meant for in home parties. I am just not at that stage of my life where I can do in home parties. All my parties (the one I had) are going to be online on facebook. I hope she updates it with facebook parties.

There are MANY good tips, party games, get acquainted ideas, ways to sell, close a sale, get a downline. Just SO MANY great ideas.

One of the best books on sales and marketing that I have ever read. Mary Christensen is a genius. This book is well-worth a read no matter the direct-selling company with which you partner.

This book is excellent to keep on the shelf (bookshelf or eBook shelf) as a reference guide. There are many tips and tricks to get started and to remain successful. The author shares an incredible wealth of knowledge in all of the books of her "Party Plan" series.

Highly recommended.

This is a very good book for the beginner multi-marketer. The tools are presented in an easy to understand and use style. This book introduces the concepts that are more thouroughly explored in "Make Your First Million in Network Marketing". I give this book to all of my new recruits when they sign the contract so they can get started immediately on building the skills to be successful.

Well written without a lot of fluff. Great ideas and lots of low-key, not ridiculous games. I look forward to reading more from Christensen.
