Notice: This is NOT a complaint about the lead system.;)

I need help in my approach in contacting HO recruit leads. The majority do NOT have phone numbers. Of course I send an email but we all know how that goes......
Would any of you be willing to share your wording/text that has been successful for you?
I'm feeling very discouraged that I am not having great (or any) success with the leads I do get. The kicker was this weekend when I saw a consultants name that seemed really familiar. Turns out she was a HO lead for me (no phone number), but signed with someone else at a later time. :yuck:bummer!!
 
I put all HO leads on my newsletter list so they do get an email from me about once a month.

When I first get the lead without a phone number I ask what they are looking for and request a phone number so that I can help them better and faster. That usually works. If I don't get a response from the email I will send a catalog with a note if they gave me an address. That often doesn't get me any where either though.

We can only do what we can do...
 
I do what Beth does also....
I usually say in my email that I'd be happy to provide more information if you could please let me know a # and good time to reach you or if you prefer you can contact me at ## and at....times....They usually always provide a number they can be reached at or I have had some call me....but unfortunately I have had many HO leads that go nowhere.....but I also keep them on my email list so they are receiving my newsletters and they haven't asked to be removed....
 
I also do what Beth does by adding them to my newsletter.I had written a while back about a consultant I got as a HO lead who was just trying to see "how the system worked" and how long it would take me to call her. Another one was already working with another consultant but wanted to see if I'd send her different info or if we were all on the same page. That was weird.But they are like anything else... leads... sometimes they pan out and other times they don't...

but can you share the exact wording of your email? Maybe that is where I'm losing them. Maybe I'm too direct?

OK-that stinks! Does anyone have a reason that HO has given as to why the phone number isn't mandatory for a lead to enter??

in all fairness, this particular lead had put on her online form for how did you hear about PC - cooking show.
So, I hope she signed with the Consultant whose show she attended. So once again, ask everyone at every show.

as for the other HO leads, of the 2 that I have signed they have been kitnappers. They were two of the 3 leads that had phone numbers. The other phone number wasn't valid:grumpy:
so if email is my only communication aside from snail mail I'm just looking for insight/guidance/suggestions. I understand that they are leads and not guarantees. ****sigh**** someday.....
 
My first email usually says something like...thanks for your interest...I'd love to explore how PC can meet your needs....please provide me with your phone or call me at your leisure...check out my site.But that typically gets no response (LOL) so then I send this. I think I got this wording from Becky. It's for my 2nd or 3rd email.
Hi Kelly,
I'm just checking in to make sure you received my previous email. I wanted to touch base so I can answer your questions about Pampered Chef and I have no other way to reach you other than email (that's all that was provided to me by our Home Office). I just don't want to leave you hanging! So, I just wanted to know if you still wish to be contacted so I can be of service to you. If so, please give me a call or send me your phone number so that we can connect. If not, that's fine too, but if you could send me a quick email to let me know, that would be great. I do need to update our Home Office as to the status/outcome of the referral to me. Either way, feel free to let me know what, if anything, you need from me. Thanks!
 
Excellent words!! Thanks!
 
THANKS DEB!!!!!I have one I'm going to send that to this morning!!!!!
