That's actually a really good idea... I have 2 potential recruits who are on the fence, the want, but they're not sure, they're going to, but they don't know when.
Maybe if they sign up by 2/28 and qualify in 30 days they'll get a sweet Sign to Look gift, and an ok one if they qualify in 90 days

I had a thought but since I have no recruits of my own you can take it with a grain of salt...
While I think offering them a gift is a nice idea I think the more important question would be why are they hesittant? There has to be a bigger reason. It has to be more than they are just busy? In my experience people will allways "be busy"
I would think this is the classic situation where we need to ask specific open ended questions and listen. I know I am famous for scaring off potential recruits by giving them too much info and not listening.
just my .02$
I hope I am not too far off base. . Thanks!

One thing I do offer is a $10 refund on their kit when they sign AT THE SHOW. This is in all the recruiting packets I hand out at shows. I have to really start using it to my advantage....
Oh, and I don't give them that $10 until they qualify. Learned my lesson on that one.
