Partylite!! (You know, that Home Show Candle Company?) I didn't see this coming at all!! I went to my show on Friday trying to recruit the Host because she had been showing "some" interest. Anyway, during the show, I heard a guest say "I'm thinking about selling Parytlite Candles, but boy the Consultant has been so pushy! She says I have to do 6 shows, etc, etc". During the show, this guest said "I am having a Pampered Chef show in Sept!" You know, one of those can't wait to book guests - gotta love them. Anyway, at the end I played the "Queen of Shoppers" game with the Opportunity ending. After the show, she asked for more information. When I showed her the Knife Promo, Our SS information, and qualifying information, all the free products she could earn, etc - she kept saying "Wow. You have to be kidding me?!?!? Just 4 shows or $1,250? I can easily do that!" Then I told her I used to sell Partylite about 8 years ago and it was tough - needed $250 a month to stay active. I hated going to the shows and hearing all the guests say "I love that - but OMG look how expensive it is!!" I always felt bad trying to sell expensive items. She thanked me and said "You are so nice and not pushy at all! I want to work with you - I'm so glad I didn't sign with Partylite!" She took the Kitchen Consultant Agreement and kept saying - "Make sure I have contact information for you!" So.... my recruit is doing a catalog show now, we are going to meet the week of the 21st and she plans to use her $40 to get the kit. Then she is going to do a large Kick-Off show in September!!! I'm so tickled. This would be my first official recruit. I have one that is so close - she actually has generated 4 shows for my business and I'm trying to convince her to take them!! I've learned to open my ears A LOT during the little buffer time before I start my presentation - you can learn so much about your guests. I am still shocked at how I didn't see this one coming!!
Thanks!!
