I have done the Street Fair in my town for the past two years (2-3 time a year)
I have always done it alone, because all 5 of my recruit signed after the season. I have always done well - usually $200-500 in sales and many leads that have resulted in future sales, bookings, referrals and even a recruit.
Well...tomorrow is the Street Fair and 3 of my 5 recruits are participating.
I have 1 recruit - we'll call her Barbara- she is a good friend of mine.
She loves PC and is pretty knowledgable about the products. The problem is she is a know-it-all and a bit "pushy". She had a show last week - $600 in sales - 9 guests - ZERO bookings... Now - before this show her words were: "I'm sure the sales will be good, but I know I won't get any bookings".:grumpy: Negativity like that DRIVES ME CRAZY. Anyway...I explained that attitude is 1/2 the battle, yada yada...
Well - she is a bit peeved that the other 2 on my team will be at the fair. She has made CONSTANT comments about "how will it work with so many people...) She has no bookings and desperately needs them, and I totally GET THAT - but when she makes comments like "I know I do a great show, I just need the bookings" it make me cringe. :bugeye:
I know I am rambling...whoever is still reading- THANK YOU!!
Anyway---
I am not even sure what my point is anymore...I guess I just needed to vent.
I have repeatedly told her to GET ON THE PHONE and to not immediately ask for bookings, but make a connection, etc...I am just worried that her negativity will bring my other recruit (the one with no car who is EXTREMELY timid) down. I am not worried about my 3rd recruit. She is a self starter and very positive.
Okay - that's my story.
Oh wait - I remembered my point ---LOL!
Obviously I will lead potential hosts to my recruits, even though I need bookings too - right? That would be the right thing to do, yes?
I am thinking I will throw all my energy into recruit leads. I am just afraid "Barbara" will be overbearing and scare them away too.
Okay - clearly I need help - or a drink - LOL - and it's only 11:45am. :cry:
