TEAM ETIQUETTE &
GROUP PRESENTATIONS
Purpose of EventsDistributors…the purpose of these
events is for you to build your business and the leaders to help you do this.
There is a misconception that guests are to get their energy from the speaker. NOT TRUE! It comes from all the distributors in the room! The speaker needs your help. PARTICIPATE WITH ENTHUSIASM!
Before a Meeting…
Whenever possible, pick up your guests
Do not give them the presentation on the way to the event!
Tell them your story Edify the presenter Be excited and enthusiastic*All of this information is also true when
preparing for a 3-way call
At the meeting…
Be early! Set an example for your guests.Introduce your guest to the leaders around
the roomSeat your guest in the front of the roomMake sure your guest has a “decision
pack” clipboard with a cover sheet to write names on and take notes
Sit with your guestLean forward in your seat while the
speaker is talking. Keep a positive attitude even if your guest
or other distributors don’t have one.
At the meeting
Do not leave to go to the bathroom during the presentation
Do not take phone calls during a meeting unless it is an absolute emergency
Your phone must be on vibrate or off. If a phone rings, you will owe a fee to the “Boresha Cell Phone Charity Fund” which will go to the kids we support.
Participate by raising your hand and nodding in agreement with the speaker
After the meeting…
Stay seated with your guest after the meeting is over Ask your guest, “What did you like?” Ask your guest, “Is there anyone you can think of
that would benefit from what we have to offer?” (Start their list right then on their clipboard.)
Wait for a leader to come to the guest to answer their questions.
Do not interrupt when a leader is speaking to a prospect!
DISTRIBUTORS…DO NOT ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT PRODUCTS LIKE BUFFERED CAFFEINE AND MATRIX OR THE COMP PLAN AT THIS TIME!
Time spent…
Spend 95% of your time with the RED apples in the room
Spend 5% of your time with the GREEN apples in the room
Spend 0% with the rotten apples. Move on!
Simple Rules
No children at meetings. Children are distracting to the speaker, other guests and parents that have the children. No one around them will be able to focus on the information if a child is being disruptive.
Find an alternative way to get the parents to a presentation (one-on-one, 3-way, etc.)
SUCCESS!
We are the Boresha team! The leaders do these events to help
you build your business and maximize your efforts.
Follow our guidance and we will all be successful together.
1. The following is a proper introduction: ”Mr. boss, I would like you to meet our client, Mr.
Smith.”
True or False
FALSE! Introduce the person of greatest
authority or importance first. When a client is involved
mention him or her first. Include first and last names.
2. If someone forgets to introduce you, it’s
appropriate to move on with the conversation
without saying anything.
True or False
False! Say something like, “My name is Mimi. I don’t believe we’ve
met” or “I’m Mimi, Dave’s wife…and you are?”
3. If you forget someone’s name, don’t worry about it. Just keep
talking.
True or False
False. It’s o.k. to admit you can’t
remember someone’s name. You can say something like, “My mind just went blank. Your
name is…”
4. When shaking hands, a man should wait for a
women to extend her hand.
True or False
False. Business etiquette has become
gender neutral. Women don’t have to hesitate to offer their hands first.
5. Who goes through the door first…the host or the
visitor?
Host or Guest
Host. That allows for the host to be
ready on the other side to direct the guest.

business transactions.

9. It is appropriate to tell business associates that
their zipper is open.

embarrassed once they realize their zipper has been open. Take that person to the side and subtly advise them to zip it up. Same goes for food or
lipstick in teeth and other potentially embarrassing
situations.
