Recruiting is about numbers---you have to do enough shows to see enough people to generate enough leads.

You have to ASK EVERYONE (don't prejudge) and then FOLLOW UP IMMEDIATELY AND REGULARLY. I stress the regularly part as in the past two weeks I signed two people that I've been working with for over a year. You stay in touch and they'll pull the trigger when the time is right.

 

Melissa - Congratulations on your start coming up!

...and have to warn you right away, you are going to have to change your blog. We cannot say we are a Pampered Chef consultant online.

There are MANY threads here on the issue and when you get your userid, it is also in the policies and procedures manual posted on Consultant's Corner.

The only advice I have is be enthusiastic and enjoy! The personality and belief in PC goes a long way!




ETA: Also we cannot use their imagery or text on another website, only on our personal PC websites and we cannot link to our personal PC websites (once you have one). You have the right enthusiastic attitude though. Keep that up!

 

Melissa - PM me your e-mail and I'll send you a copy of the policies and procedures and relevant text.

I can tell you worked hard on it but it'll be fine!

You can get a personal website soon and have a ton of fun with that!

 

Consistancy and training would be the biggest key factors. I did Step Up training yesterday and that is such a big boost. She really stressed the 3 phone calls a day. The key structure is 3 phone calls a day, 2 shows a week, 1 recruit a month. But her thought was with 3 phone calls a day the others should follow.

 

Hi Melissa!

Welcome! I'm in Michigan too - what part of Michigan are you from? Who is your upline? You will find a good # of Michigan Consultants on this board! This is a very helpful, friendly place to hang out.

Janet has already emailed the policies and procedures regarding online advertising, so the only thing I would add is that the best thing to do would be to get an official PC Website - that is really the only way allowable to advertise your business online. I can tell you put a ton of work into your website - too bad your director or someone didn't let you know earlier about the restrictions!

 

You've got mail too!

We can say it here because this is a website "created specifically for communication among consultants" and you have to pay to join.

Notice in siggys though that people put:

/websitename


That would equate to Welcome to In the Kitchen with We cannot link to personal websites but that lets each other know what they are so we can get great ideas.


On the business, numbers are key - the more people you are in front of, the more potential recruits. Just start building - it doesn't happen overnight for most, but will come!

 

2 shows a week.....really! Being consistant at that will put you in front of enough people to book more shows, recruit more people and have your sales where you want them to be.

 

You might want to look into taking the Step Up to Director program. Email me at jensenkate@gmail.com if you want more info, or just talk to your director - that is what s/he is there for!

 

Hey, Melissa! I'm in Southfield, 1/2 mile from the Detroit border.

<end hijack>

 

Melissa - just sent you a PM!

 

Welcome to the business, Melissa! Good for you -- I am a "career consultant", too...if you call doing 2 shows a week "Full Time" then I am so there! I enjoy good sales and income of $1200 - $2500 a month with that "full time" job

I agree with all the girls here, they are so VERY smart at the biz and so VERY great at sharing!

It's all about PEOPLE -- the phone and ASKING, not announcing...and talking to everyone you know, and telling them to talk to everyone THEY know. It's a PEOPLE business.

One thing about Pampered Chef Consultants is that they share and they are TRULY an amazing group of people who really do want to help each other.

It's incredible to be in such an awesome company! Welcome!

 

That's neat, Melissa! You don't know how right you are about being close, because I'm in the far SW corner of Southfield, just north of 8 Mile, west of Beech. I'm trying to watch my costs this year (I just lost my FT job), but if you need someone to set up with you at the David's Bridal, let me know (of course, you'll start your own team between now and then!). My team is spread out: Novi, Warren and Inkster.

 

Wow ChefAnn I thought no one had ever heard of Inkster. That is where I lived before we moved to North Carolina. Still have a lot of family in Michigan though.

 

Yeah, I thought it was just a blot on the map...
