Possible Recruit, Need Suggestions

In summary, my first recruit turned out to bail and run.. so I am a little nervous about this, I had a customer want to purchase the kit and possibly get the rebate, but she is not 100% sure if she wants to consult. I plan to call her back on Friday when she places her order for my next show...First what are her concerns?We call those "Kitnappers". If she is telling you flat out that she only wants the products and not to be a consultant, I personally would tell her that she is signing a contract to sell $1250 in products and could not sign her up if she was not planning on doing so...

Any advise: I plan to call her back on Friday when she places her order for my next show...

You don't need a Recruit who is not planning on working her business IMHO!
 
If she wants the rebate, then she'll have to at the very least fulfill her agreement to do $1250 in sales - and that's all that PC asks, really.

That was my plan when I signed up - and as I say at my parties - obviously I've done more than 4 shows in the last 7.5 years!

If she's willing to work to get the rebate, then I'd say Go For It! She might find out (as I did!) that she absolutely loves it!

we here's an update she said I could call her Friday after 1 because that's when she said she would be available, well she did not answer so I left a message, then I called a little later on friday eve and today its sat so I called her on my cell b/c I will be in and out and her phone goes to voice mail of course I left her a nice message saying that I will be available to take her order for my show which I need to close soon

she has not returned my calls so I plan to leave her be and carry on, I feel she has changed her mind and that's why she's not calling me back...
 
Give her the chance to tell you that. Just like potential hosts that don't get back with me, I leave a message letting them know that it's okay if they've changed their minds. I just need to hear that from them via phone or email. Usually I get a call or an email relatively quickly. Most of the time they've just been too busy to get back with me. Sometimes they've changed their minds. Either way, I've maintained the relationship.
