Recruiting Interview With More Than 1?

[Careyann]

I got a home office recruit lead yesterday, she's never had a PC party, nor has she been to one. I am giving her a catalog, and some of the recruiting flyers today. We setup a time to meet at a DQ near her home (so her 6 kids will have something to do!) next Wednesday. I have another lady who was interested and she hasn't called me yet but I had talked about having a meeting with her too. Would it be okay to meet them both at the same time (if it worked out with the other lady), or should I keep it one on one with them?

I have done several at one time, but usually at my home. You may want to run it by them and see if they're ok with another joining.

Just let them know that there's someone else interested in learning more about the biz and you wanted to see if they were ok with meeting up together. You can start the interview by asking them what they know and think of PC and what they hope to get from the biz. You just have to be sure to answer both their questions and personalize it for each. Since they don't know each other, it may be harder to do.

I have met with more than one person at a time at Panera Bread, but if you are meeting with the first lady AND her 6 kids, I would not include another recruit. I have 4 kids so I would have no problem meeting with someone and their kids, but 6 kids with icecream can be very busy and crazy and messy. I think it will go great with the mom, but if you add another lead it may be very distracting for her. I notice that I have no problem multi tasking with my kids and other people if need be, but usually other people find that distracting if they are not used to being around little ones. I would suggest that you meet them on the same date at the same place and just schedule them in two separate time slots. I have done this before and it works great!
