Should I Recruit a Friend Who Lives Far Away?

[SilverCeladon]

Okay...I'm not very active with PC and I'm a hobbiest at most. The girl who I did the $1000 catalog show is totally thinking about joining. The thing is that she lives in Wisconsin and I'm in California. I think I'm going to tell her to join under another PC consultant in Wisconsin (someone she already knows) instead of me. I don't want the hassel of finding her a hospitality group when I already know I don't want to grow with the company-I'm happy with the way things are now. So, am I making a bad decision?

IMO you should sign her - you never know when things in your life may change and you'll want to grow...and what if she's the next Nancy Jo Ryan? Wouldnt you kick yourself if you'd let her sign under someone else?

 

[SilverCeladon]

Yeah, but don't you have to have 2 or more recruits to make any money off of her? I don't ever see myself having another recruit.

 

[dannyzmom]

And what will you be thinking when she starts turning in $5000 a month? You'll be drooling to grab up ONE MORE recruit so you can make your overrides on her, doncha think? Heck...if you don't want her, I'll sign her - I have a clusterfull of friends up in isconsin who'd take her in as hospitality for me

Sign her......I agree you never know what will happen in your future.

Wait'll all the Cheesehead Cheffers get in here to volunteer.(At least, I'm the first one, I think.)

Absolutely sign her! You never know what you will want in the future.

But if you absolutely have decided to give her away it's best to send her to the person she already knows. Otherwise there are a lot of WI consultants you could choose from here to connect her with. ...or I'm not in WI but since my sons live there I am up there at least twice a year.

Definitely sign her, I hear it's your Director's resposibilty to train her and find a hosptality director for her too !

 

[Gina M]

I agree with Heather - sign her and let your director help you out!

 

[dianevill]

I agree - sign her - there's lots of wonderful directors here in Wisconsin that would be happy to do hospitality!

 

[janetupnorth]

Sign her! ...and we'd be GLAD to help you find hospitality - where is she? My ED is in Wausau and has directors all over the state.Diane and KG and others are in SE WI and in a different cluster but I know there are uplines there.

sign her.... you never know when another one will crawl out of the woodwork and then all of a sudden you have 2. I am in your same position. I was doing 1 or 2 shows a month. All of a sudden I have a team of 3 and am trying to promote to director. It is not a lot of work to have a recruit.
