Hosts and hostesses say, “Think of yourself as a product.”

For example, let’s say you work for a company and you have to sell the company’s products. First of all, the sales pitch starts with trying to know about the company’s products in order to better understand the products. Then, think about the appearance and performance, etc., and think about how to sell from there. In a way, it’s very easy to say, but the host and hostesses think about it by replacing the company’s products with themselves.

So how does one go about this, exactly?

THE UNDERSTANDING ASPECT

Think about the following questions when it comes to yourself, in order to get a better understanding, in the same way that you’d do research about a product:

• Who are you?
• What are your strengths?
• What kind of people do you like?
• What phrases work for you/are a part of your day-to-day?
• What are you missing, what is difficult for you?
• How can you be confident?

THE ACTIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS ASPECT

In the same way that a product will constantly need improvement, you can technically consider a person’s development to be the same. For example, if you want to learn how to draw, that’s something you’ll need to practice and develop the skills for rather than be good at it from day 1. Examples of how this is used in the hostess world as follow:

• If your smile is your strength, you can use it as a weapon
• If you’re a little fat, you can lose weight by doing muscle training
  • Alternatively, if you’re comfortable with your body, GRRL YESSSSS! As you should! ✊🏼
• If you’re not good at makeup, you can practice
• You can also use affirming phrases in order to help you gain confidence

Now, the last thing for any sale is to actually sell the product — and how do you do that? Publicity. This can be through the following:
