Amusing Observation About Home Office Lead Orders...

[DebbieJ]

There is also a recruiting requirement to be eligible for leads, but I forget what it is at the moment. I'd have to go look it up. LOL

One Recruit within the past 4 months. Doesn't have to be qualified.

I just remembered the recruiting requirement the other day. My last recruit was in Oct. so I have until Sun. to get someone else to sign. Gotta get moving on getting one of these leads to sign already! I CANNOT lose my HO leads.

I got a lead at my show on Sat. She's 73 and facing her last round of chemo in April. I love that she's seriously thinking about PC.

Is that under the new plan or was it the old plan? I have the Director's flip chart that my Director gave to me when she quit. It details out everything & I haven't read that in there.

Nevermind - I just found the answer:

Who's eligible to receive Home Office leads?
Team Leaders and above who have $1,250 in personal commissionable sales in three of the last four months, one new recruit in the same time period and an e-mail address on file with the Home Office receive leads. (Note: A grace month does not count as having met $1,250 for Privileges & Awards, such as leads. Please refer to the Consultant Policy Guide.) Requirements vary for Senior Executive Directors and National Executive Directors.

AND THEN......


On the other end of the spectrum - just had a home office lead call me back - to place a $300 order! Whoooo hoooo!

She didn't want to host a show, just order what she considers "the necessities" for her (getting married in July) daughter's kitchen....

I added it on to my catalog show I'm closing tomorrow...and gave her the host bonus and half-off items. She was thrilled, and so am I! A $300 order right now equals 600 points! Whooo Hooo!

We just started in our second month and have two leads that we are working on signing, if they both sign will we be eligible, or will we have to wait until we hit the end of our three months? Will both recruits have to complete a full calendar month for us to get the leads, or will we be eligible as soon as our teams total hits the requirement for the month?

I can usually count on getting a order or lead about every 5 days or so. must be a bit slower now as my last was Apr. 2nd. Hopefully tomorrow will get something. During Nov and Dec. tho I had a lead or order a day!!!

Well, you have to have $1250 in sales for 3 of the past four months, and your team also has to make the $2500 required for a team leader - so I think you might have to wait a couple more months.

April has been slower for me - a couple online orders, and no "you have a new lead!" emails. I was wondering if it's because so many are on Spring Break around here, but who knows?

I have lots of months like that. Some months less that $50 in orders and no "leads"; other months a couple orders and no leads that go anywhere; and other months with lots of orders and others with leads that do shows/sign. It's all in the hands of those generating the leads and how many of us are in the rotation.

This is my first "lean" month since I started receiving leads last May! I usually have 8-10 online orders and 6-8 other leads. I guess I still could...

You just have a lucky star or something or other! :balloon: :thumbup: Please share! :love:

I think it's just that there aren't many around here qualified to get leads. There must be more this month.

And again....

Just had someone spend $8.75 (incl. tax and shipping) for 2 citrus peelers. What a waste of a perfectly good lead.:cry:

EArlier this week I had someone buy a TTA and paid over $21 in shipping alone. The shipping was more than the product.

Another online order earlier this month had hosted a show on March 26. I guess she wasn't happy with her consultant.

But wouldn't you know it, neither gave contact information :-(

or maybe she didn't realize she was going to be assigned to another consultant through the lead system.

I had an online HO lead order for 85 mini whippers! Woohoo! Almost $300 in sales!

Very cool! Last month, I had one for 15 silicone hot pad/trivets! That just helps to balance out the one I had this month for 2 citrus peelers!

 

[BethCooks4U]

If she didn't give info how do you know she had a party on March 26?


I'd love to get one of those xx# of an item! My latest lead order was for 2 mini-serving spatulas and I think I already said once I had one for one citrus peeler (75c).

How I knew about mine was that the total for her order (before tax and shipping) was an odd amount...and the only thing I could think of that would do that would be a PHD - so I looked up her name, and sure enough, she'd had a show the month before!
