Re: recruitsGo on to Consultant's Corner - it's all there! Go through the Consultant Policy Guide (at a high level) with her if she has questions: https://www.pamperedchef.com/images/cc/us/pdf/consultant_policy_guide.pdf
Hope that helps!

Re: recruitsThere is an online training course on Consultant's Corner called The Recruiting Interview. It will walk you through what you should share during an interview. Personally, I would avoid the policy guide- it's too much info for a potential recruit.Do you have a Come Join Us booklet? Walk her through that, that will guide you through the interview very well. Then ask her if she has any questions or concerns- listen carefully, then address them one by one. If you don't have a Come Join Us booklet I believe you can download them off Consultant's Corner.Make sure you start the interview off asking her what attracted her to PC, and focus on that- what her WHY is.Good luck!

Re: recruitsWay to go! If you don't have the Come Join Us book, you can download it from CC. And go to the Files Section on CS and download the notes, Interviews that end in Yes. They are notes from conference that are great with that book!
There is also a guide on CC that shows how everyone gets paid. But, I caution you about getting too into that. For us, its exciting, but for someone new, it might be intimidating.
I would go with:
There are two ways to earn:
* Your sales, which starts out at X and will increase with sales
* Sharing the Opportunity and Building a team
If the recruit asks for specific percentages, that's a different story.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do to prepare for a possible recruit visit?
To prepare for a possible recruit visit, ensure your workspace is clean and organized. Have Pampered Chef products readily available for demonstration, and prepare a brief presentation about the business opportunity, including potential earnings and benefits. Familiarize yourself with common questions recruits may have and be ready to share your personal success story.
How can I make the recruit feel comfortable during their visit?
Creating a welcoming environment is key. Greet them warmly, offer refreshments, and engage in casual conversation to break the ice. Make sure to listen actively to their questions and concerns, and encourage an open dialogue throughout the visit.
What materials should I have on hand for the recruit visit?
Have brochures, product catalogs, and business opportunity flyers ready to share. Consider preparing a sample kit that includes some of your best-selling products. Additionally, have a business plan or compensation plan document to explain the earning potential clearly.
How can I effectively showcase the Pampered Chef products during the visit?
Demonstrate a few popular products in action, highlighting their features and benefits. Engage the recruit by allowing them to try the products themselves, which can help them visualize how they might use these items in their own business. Share personal anecdotes about how these products have helped you in your own cooking or selling experience.
What follow-up actions should I take after the recruit visit?
After the visit, send a thank-you note or message expressing your appreciation for their time. Follow up with any additional information they requested and invite them to ask more questions. Keep the lines of communication open and check in periodically to see if they are still interested in joining your team.
