Giving My New Recruit the VIP Treatment

Do you give a new recruit your customers?

I just signed my first recruit. She was a guest at a show. The host and a few of the guests work with my top host. We joked about him at the show because he's a silly guy! Then after the guest signed up she said something to the extent of having my past host do a show for her to help her out. My past host is scheduled to do a November catalog show with me. His shows have always been over $1100 which would be great during SAT. I've been working with him almost my entire business.

I was planning on giving my new recruit the catalog show that was booked from the show she attended but what do I do about my past host? Maybe I'm thinking too much into this!

Figured I would bump this and see if anyone has anything to say by the time I get home from work.
 
I give my recruits shows booked off their shows or any booking with known family and friends. If they are mere acquaintances or my past hosts and not close friends or relatives, I'd keep them.Do you have the Guide for Directing New Consultants or whatever the exact title is? If not, ask your director to share. There is some great wording/training in there to help your new consultant make her list of 100 and book new shows from their acquaintances, not yours.
 
I wouldn't give up your host you already have scheduled with you. You have worked for that business relationship and you deserve to keep it. It will not help you out any if you give that lead/show to her.

I honestly wouldn't give her the catty show either. The way I see it, she was a guest at the show who decided to sign at the show. She needs to find her own shows. Now, if she was the host who decided to sign up, then I give her the catty show b/c she did the work to get the guests there and what not.

This is just what I would do! I can't justify handing off a possible $1k show! You have worked for your business :)
 
I would not give her the show you already have scheduled. You worked for that relationship and deserve to keep it. Plus, that host obviously enjoys working with YOU!

I would give her the catty show you booked at the show. That's how I got my first show. I signed after attending a show and my upline gave me the show she booked. BUT it was a close friend of mine (both girls-host and booking).
 
I agree with LiquidSky. If she were the host I'd give her the catalog show. Definitely not your long-time host with the big shows. You want to help, sure, but she'll be better off getting her own shows. Offer to let her come "watch" your big show.

I'm not too worried about giving her the other catalog show - I haven't even mentioned to her, just the host because I was asking if they knew each other (recruit and new catalog host). I just felt really selfish for "keeping" my past host.
 
Don't feel selfish! The past host has a business relationship with you already. If they decide to reschedule with your new recruit, then it's up to them - but don't give them away. You want to keep that relationship going in case (heaven forbid!) the new recruit ends up not doing anything, or quitting after a year. Then your past host still feels comfortable coming back to you.
 
I think by not offering her the Nov catalog show it will create some tension between you, her, and the Nov Host. Plus don't you want her to get off on the right foot, get motivated and stay motivated??

Personally, for me, my recruits get all leads either from their opening shows, or any present customers of mine who are attached to them. At least for 1 show, after that, if the customer wants me to do a show rather than the recruit, well then that is their decision.

I think its up to her whether or not she asks your past host to help her out...and then its up to him to decide yes or no. He may decide to hold that Nov. show with her, but he might just decided to do a show with her and keep his Nov. show. I wouldn't mention it to her. I would just continue to work with him as if nothing has been said. It sounds like you have a good working relationship with him. I would just walk her through that list of 100 names to get her shows booked. Whether or not he holds a show for her is up to him. We can work with our customers all we want and even if we have lots of parties and work well together, they do not belong to us.
