I had a show this afternoon. The show was a bit of a disaster-outside, sun, hot, bugs= NO FUN! But I did get 2 possible recruits. One I talked with quite a bit and invited her to a cluster meeting, will follow up with her on Monday. The other left before I got a chance to talk to her, but she checked "yes" to both hosting and selling on her DPDS. The only thing I'm a little worried about is that she doesn't speak very good English (she's Indonesian) and I'm not sure if she was checking yes to.
Anyways, I'm excited as these are the first people that have shown even the slightest interest. Any tips on what to say when I call them on Monday?
Thanks ~K
