What is potential: Definition and 155 Discussions

I have potential hosts who ask me to call them to schedule their party but consistently get an answering machine-even when I've asked if this is a good number and time to reach them at. What kind of message can I leave to let them know I am following up at their request to schedule a party? And...

I have decided I'm missing the boat by not trying to get more fundraisers. I would love to contact some local schools, pre-schools, churchs, etc. but have a couple of questions: 1- If you're approaching a business, etc. where you have no personal contact/relationship, how do you go about...

I am in Las Vegas, NV and my sister in Brentwood, CA (Northern California), is thinking about becoming one of my consultants. I understand the home office will not offer a hospitality Director until she signs. However, she has not been to a party in over 10 years, and I would love to have her...

What info entices a group to raise funds with you? I can get people to the point where they say "send me some info to share with my group" but then after that they either don't get back to me or say they are going with something else. What can I put together for them that may be more...

I know the no money for a kit has been cussed & discussed a thousand times, but I'm really not good with wording! Can someone help me with a response to this: I sent her the Come Join Us booklet and talked with her at length on the phone. She would make a great consultant and is really...

I’m fairly new and have not had many shows. At a few of my shows at the end of last year I had people express interest in hosting but wanted to wait until after the holiday/Christmas rush. So far I have had no luck with any of them returning my calls or emails to book a show – and my calendar...

So I'm a newbie and I just submitted my third show, and I just noticed that when I finalized the show, it says something about only bookings from the show count toward the past host benefit...and that the host will not benefit from potential bookings. Does that mean if someone from the show...

My hubby was transferred to evenings at the last minute & I couldn't go meet with my new recruit tonight without bring my 2 little ones along. She felt confident that she could close show #3 on her own. We were on the phone discussing it afterward, and she said she did put in the bookings...

I have two customers from my large show last night that put 'yes' on their doorslips to being interested in learning more about having a show and I'd like to followup before we close the show Wed morning. However, one is without a phone until Friday, just moved. The other left after the show...

Hi all, I couldn't find a thread on this... so thought I'd ask! I was talking to a lady today (she's hosting a show for me in December) who's very interested in PC as a business, just lost her job recently, was a chef a few jobs ago... BUT her husband is very much against it. She sold...

My sister hosted a show and there was a woman there who wanted to book. She didn't set a date and I tried following up with her. Months went by and we still never pinpointed a date. Then my sister told me that her son died in a tragic accident. I meant to send her a condolence card, but kept...

I have a potential recruit. We've been working together since July. I last spoke to her on Tuesday to answer any questions she may still have. She told me that (and I know it to be true) everyone in her house was sick about 3 weeks ago for 3 weeks. They are just now getting healthy. I guess...

I have a friend I went to high school with in south Texas who now lives in Michigan. She is extremely interested in the business, and actually, the distance (Michigan to Texas) is not the issue..... here is her concern (which I have no idea how to answer)... Her husband is the...

I have a friend who hosted once for me and I recently spoke w/ her about hosting again. It was when I was having my Power Cooking Workshop where she expressed interest in it but couldn't come. She has a couple friends/neighbors also who wanted to come but weren't available. So I asked her...

I have a potential recruit and I want to make sure I give her all the right information right now. This will be my 2nd recruit and the 1st one hasn't done anything since getting her kit so I want to make sure that things go better this time around. She wants me to email her some info and we are...

I have customers who want to call me to book a show-either I met them at a show and they did not have their calendar with them and/or want to pencil in a date, or I met them earlier in the year and they want me to call them in June (or a specific month or time) to set a date for their show. I'm...

Hi all, I'm sure this has been discussed before....I tried 4 searches, and there were over 15 pgs for each....but the first couple of pages were not what I was looking for....so I'm hoping everyone with this kind of experience can offer their advice... I have a potential recruit who lives...

Hi, I have several people on the fence about becoming consultants. I am looking for additional reading information to give them. Does anyone have anything written up or any suggestions? Thanks! Andrea

Has anyone had an open house type event to invite potential recruits? I have a few people that expressed interest a long time ago and I thought the mini-kit is the perfect chance to get them re-interested. Thought I could invite them over at the same time and do all their questions in a...

My potential recruit has a lot of questions that are not covered in any of our flyers. I am going to see if my Exec. Director can call her (my Director's in Paris!) but I'm worried since I want her up and running by my 30th day (Friday!) Are there any more detailed PDFs or anything with the...

Last night was a "work" night for me and I wanted to get more shows on my May calendar. I wasn't getting any bites. So I decided to try a different approach. I got out my list of "potentials" that mentioned that sometime they might host and I called each and every one of them (really, it was...

I am looking for a letter anyone sends to potential recruits. I would like to send them the the new promotions and want a letter to go with it. (These are all of the yes/maybe's from booths, that have never taken the plunge!) Any help would be great!

Ok this just blows my mind. My Fed Ex driver has changed again, which is a good thing. No more 10 PM deliveries. So today the guy knocked on the door. (not always does he knock). So I open the door and he says oh someone is home today. He picks up the box ( it is my supply order) and he says...

Hi all! I've been going back and forth about selling PC for a few years now. I am having a party in April and when I asked my consultant about the business she told me about the March special. It just seems to be the right time in my life and for me to take the plunge. I am a bit worried on...
