Effective Recruiting Packets for Conferences and Shows

PamperedchefDaly · Jul 12, 2011

After conference I made the decision to ALWAYS carry recruiting packets with me to shows. I want to carry them expecting to hand them out

What does everyone put in their packet, besides the obvious "Join Us" and a recruiting DVD?

Well, I don't have shows on my calendar right now, but I don't plan to carry recruiting packets when I do. A local director says she puts the customer's receipt in a Discover Us flyer, and that way gets one into every customer's hands.

Oh I like that idea. Sort of like when you buy an appliance at Sears and they put the recipe in a folder.

Thanks for the tip! I will try it tonight at my show.

I do that but you definitely want to have actual packets to hand out to those that are really interested!I personally would not give the Join Us. It has way too much information for someone just thinking about looking into it. I give the Discover Us, a FAQ about the biz (that I got from here), a commission statement and the current promo.

I like the commission statement idea!
I also include a Kit Credit Coupon and of course, the flyer for the current promotion - oh! and a business card magnet, so regardless of if they sign they have my info - if they do sign, they have my info handy for newbie questions

I give the discover us handout and then email the recruiting incentive. The impt part is the follow up phone call or meeting in person to do the interview.

My Packet has the discover US and Join US flyer in it, a catalog, a order form, kit credit coupon, any recuirting promo's going on I also have a business card and a recipe in the folder as well.

I give everyone a discover us in their show folder. I give people who are interested a packet with the join us booklet because it is designed to create questions (that's a direct quote from director express). I also include the dvd with a snack size bag of m&m's and snack size bag of microwave popcorn (to eat while they watch the DVD). And an actual invitation to join my team - this is actually an invitation like you can buy at walmart or target that says "you are invited".

I haven't given out many of these as of yet because I only do 1-2 shows a month right now. But I am getting them ready for the fall when I hope to have 1-2 shows a week.

good point - it's not really all that important what you give them - as long as you're following up and talking / listening. That's the key.

Good point, but if you look at the Recruiting Made Simple Flyer, that is under "Interview". I think that booklet gives them way too much information - the won't feel the need to talk to you again.

However, like someone said earlier, it's not really about that...it's all in the follow up and what you do AFTER you give them whatever you're going to give them.

Yes, exactly. Listening and learning what their needs are and showing them how the biz can meet those needs and work as part of their life is what it's about. The interview is where u connect and is about them . Showing them how our biz really is an opportunity is the key. The come join us booklet helps keep u on track, but its the connection in the follow up, and all about them and their Passion/need.
