BOP Etiquette

Posted by: Bob Firestone under Leadership

A BOP is a Business Opportunity Presentation where you invite prospects to see a group presentation.

BOP’s help you…

1. Build credibility
2. Highlights the professionalism of the business opportunity
3. Show you are not the only one
4. Introduce the group and support structure
5. Start the training process for your new recruits

To make this work everyone needs to be on the same page.

1. Dress well. You don’t have to be in a suit & tie but it needs to be business casual. Never wear shorts, cutoffs, gym clothes.
2. Show up 30-45 minutes early. You want to greet your guests. Do not let your guests beat you to the presentation.
3. DO NOT BE LATE! The BOP will start exactly on time. Starting late looks bad to your prospects, is not professional, and wastes the time of the people who had the courtesy to show up on time.
4. Introduce your guests to your up-line and the group leaders who are doing the presentation.
5. The presenter will ask for all the new people to sit in the front and as a rep you will sit in the back.
6. During the presentation don’t chitchat. It is distracting for the presenter, the guests and doesn’t look professional. Pay attention like it is the first time you have seen it.
7. When the presentation is over there will be a 15 to 20 minute break to speak with your prospects and sign them up. There will be Training session after the break.
