FINDING
EMPLOYEES
YOU CAN FIND PEOPLE WHO
WILL WORK IF YOU TRY.I DON’T BELIEVE PEOPLE WHEN THEY SAY THEY
CAN’T FIND PEOPLE TO WORK.LOOK IN COLLEGE CAMPUSES, HIGH SCHOOL
THEATRE DEPARTMENT. CHEERLEADERS DO GREAT AND ALSO CHURCH YOUTH
GROUP TEENAGERS CAN BE USED.SOMEONE TO WEAR A COSTUME AND FOLLOW
THESE FEW SIMPLE RULES IS NOT HARD AND SHOULD NOT BE A JOB TO OVER
PAID. 20 OR 30 DOLLARS PER HOUR IS PLENTY.
CHARACTER
RULES:
*DO NOT TAKE IT OFF IN THE
PRESENCE OF CHILDREN
*DANCE WHEN THERE IS
MUSIC
*LISTEN TO THE PARTY
LEADERS INSTRUCTIONS
*HUG CHILDREN THAT COME
CLOSE TO YOU
*MOVE AWAY FROM CHILDREN
THAT CRY
*STAND BEHIND THE CAKE
WHEN SINGING HAPPY B-DAY
*BE AVAILABLE FOR
PICTURES
*IF THE BIRTHDAY CHILD
LIKES YOU STAY CLOSE TO HIM OR HER DURING ALL
GAMES
*DON’T GIVE YOUR BACK TO
VIDEO CAMERAS OR PHOTO CAMERAS
*DON’T SAY ANYTHING UNLESS
YOU CAN DO THE CHARACTERS VOICE
*NEVER TAKE AN ALCOHOLIC
DRINK OR CIGARETTE IN YOUR HAND WHILE DRESSED IN A CHARACTER
SUIT
ALL THESE RULES SEEM LIKE
COMMON SENSE-BUT MANY DON’T HAVE COMMON
SENSE.
PARTY LEADERS SHOULD BE 18
YRS OR OLDER AND SHOULD HAVE THEIR OWN TRANSPORTATION. YOU MAY
ALLOW THE PARTY LEADER TO TAKE SOMEONE HE OR SHE KNOWS AS A
CHARACTER BECAUSE THEY WILL BE TOGETHER ALL DAY. MOST LEADERS WILL
HAVE FRIENDS, NEPHEWS, NIECES, COUSINS, ETC. THAT WANT TO MAKE SOME
EXTRA CASH ON THE WEEKEND.
A PARTY LEADER IS MORE
VALUABLE TO YOU THAN PEOPLE TO WEAR THE COSTUMES BUT THEY ARE NOT
INDISPENSABLE OR NON-REPLACEABLE. AS LONG AS YOU HAVE TAUGHT THEM
EXACTLY HOW AND WHAT YOU WANT THEM TO DO .THEN YOU CAN TEACH MORE
PEOPLE AND NEW PEOPLE TO FOLLOW THE SAME
ROUTINE.
THE PARTY LEADERS JOB IS
LIKE AN ACTING JOB. THE SCRIPT IS LEARNED AND APPLIED OVER AND OVER
AGAIN WITH A NEW AUDIENCE EVERY TIME. WHEN HIRING, DON’T LOOK FOR
PEOPLE WHO LOVE CHILDREN.... LOOK FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT SHY, DON’T
LOOK THREATENING, SMILE A LOT, HAVE A LOUD VOICE, HAVE THEIR OWN
TRANSPORTATION, HAVE SOME PERFORMANCE BACKGROUND. BY PERFORMANCE
BACKGROUND I MEAN, ANYTHING- THEATER, CHEERLEADING, CHOIR, BAND, OR
JUST A GROUP LEADER OF AN ORGANIZATION.
THE PARTY LEADERS JOB IS
SIMPLE BUT THEY MUST FOLLOW THE FOLLOWING
RULES:
*GET YOUR SCHEDULES BY
THURSDAY OR FRIDAY AND CONFIRM DIRECTIONS TO EACH
PARTY.
*PICKUP YOUR COSTUMES AND
PARTY SUPPLIES BY FRIDAY AFTERNOON
*BE ON
TIME!!!
*LOOK HAPPY... EVEN IF
YOUR NOT
*DO NOT BE RUDE TO ANYONE
BIG OR SMALL
*FOLLOW THE COMPANIES
ROUTINE OF PERFORMANCES
*SMILE A LOT AND BE
FRIENDLY
*HAND OUT YOUR COMPANIES
BUSINESS CARDS TO EVERY ADULT
*COLLECT THE BALANCE AND
TURN IT IN NO LATER THAN MONDAY AFTERNOON, ALONG WITH
COSTUMES.
YOU MUST(AS AN
ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY OWNER) BE REALLY GOOD AND UNDERSTANDING WITH
YOUR GOOD PARTY LEADERS. TRY TO KEEP THEM AS LONG AS POSSIBLE
BECAUSE EXPERIENCED PARTY LEADERS WILL GIVE YOU A GOOD NAME. ALSO
TRY TO GET THEM TO BRING A FRIEND WHO IS INTERESTED IN BEING A
PARTY LEADER. PARTY LEADERS GET PAID 30 TO 50 PER I HOUR
PERFORMANCE. YOU CAN DO 30 PLUS GAS MONEY, DEPENDING ON THE
DISTANCE TRAVELED TO EACH PERFORMANCE THAT DAY. I HAD INCENTIVES
FOR THEM TO PUT ON A GOOD SHOW.
#1:2 CUSTOMER COMPLIMENTS.
WHEN THE CUSTOMER CALLS IN HIM OR HERSELF TO SAY GOOD THINGS ABOUT
THE PARTY-GIVE THE PART LEADER A BONUS $50 CASH AT THE BEGINNING OF
THE NEXT WEEKEND.
#2:IF THEY GET PEOPLE
REQUESTING THEM(SPECIFICALLY) THEY GET $10 OR
$20
MORE FOR THAT PARTY
EVENT.
#3:IF THEY BRING ANOTHER
PERSON WHO BECOMES A GOOD PARTY LEADER THEY GET $100.00 WHEN THAT
PERSON HAS STAYED FOR 3 MONTHS.
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A
SUCCESSFUL ENTERTAINMENT BUSINESS AND A SO SO ONE IS YOU. HOW WELL
YOU CAN ORGANIZE YOUR EMPLOYEES, HOW WELL YOU CAN CONVINCE FIRST
TIME CALLERS TO CHOOSE YOU, AND HOW MOTIVATED YOU ARE TO GO OUT
THERE PERSONALLY MEET PARTY STORE OWNERS(EVEN SMALL SHOPS), CAKE
SHOP, DAYCARE, FLOWER SHOP OWNERS.
THE MORE PEOPLE YOU KNOW
THE MORE THEY WILL RECOMMEND YOU.
