I know someone who may be interested in selling PC, but she lives over an hour away from me.

How does that work if she were to sign under me, can my director find her a hospitality cluster? I'm already in a hospitality cluster myself, (I moved from FL to MA) and was just wondering if meetings would be available to her.

Thanks
 
That's exactly what Hospitality is for.

Great! I didn't know if they had strict guidelines of how far away you had to be to get hospitality, and I know she won't travel an hour for a cluster meeting.

Thanks for the info!
 
I have a lady from Mass that I met at a fair last year. She was visiting the state and was interested in PC. She hasn't signed yet, but my point is that you can recuit them no matter where they are!! I figure the biggest problem is the time change, but if she is only an hour away that shouldn't be a problem! AND..... I hate driving to my cluster meetings 1.5 hours away, but I do!

Where in MA does she live? I live in MA and might be able to point her in the right direction.
 
Are the meetings you go to in your town? If she comes to one & sees how beneficial they are to your biz, she might not mind driving.
There are several gals in my cluster that drive 1 1/2 - 2 hours for my director's meetings...
