Default All of a sudden it's hitting the fan...

In a good way! I promoted to Director December 1st (yay!) and all of a sudden I have recruit leads coming out the wazoo!!

-I signed one December 31st
-another one due to sign tomorrow.
-One of my hosts from the summer e-mailed and she's ready (and probably will be signing her mother as her first recruit--yay for Senior Consultants-to-be!).
-Met a lady on the plane home from Leadership and she's interested as well as doing it with her daughter

I did get one home office lead but so far it hasn't panned out, but it's all good...I still have a list as long as my arm I probably need to connect with.

Now, if I can get my show schedule to match my recruiting schedule, I'll be soooo on track for Disney!!

Kristen,
The same is happening for me. I think it is a combination of since we promoted, it is like we know we know how to recruit, we've done it, and also, I think that with the economy the way it is, people are more open to looking at PC as a viable source of extra income.

Wow....I wish mine would pan out like that. Most of them just want me to do an adjusment or want just a catalog and never answer my follow up calls.

I'm jump on this too! It's truly all about listening and ASKING!!!

Just tonight on my calls, I tried to reconnect with a host who had cancelled her show back in November. Right off the bat she was defensive, and upset that she didn't have time to host a show since she had just lost her job. DING DING DING the bells went off! So, of course I asked her if she had even considered doing PC. We are meeting Thursday for lunch to discuss the possibilities. JUST ASK!!!
Another lead coming to observe a show this weekend. Another set to sign in mid-Feb. Another doing a catalog show for February and will possibly take the kit credit.

And keep in mind that EVERY host is a lead.

I'd love to have that! I'm getting nothing but "no's" from my booking calls and the one "maybe" recruit from October is driving me nuts with, "When I'm not so busy"...."my parents are ill"..."It's tax season and I'm a bookkeeper for multiple clients". She is a former consultant so she knows what she needs to do. I'm trying...rub some of that on the monitor please! LOL!

Amy and Jane,

Just so you don't think this all comes naturally, my first 5 consultants were kitnappers...they did not even one show! And I didn't even sign my first one until I was 18 months into the business! It has been a long, hard road...I'm just so excited to finally see some of my efforts paying off.

Don't give up and ask, ask, ask!!!

BTW, my newest did sign today!! :cheerleader:
