Well it finally happened...only took me six months :rolleyes: but I finally signed my first recruit today! She had booked a show in December (from a party in Oct.) and cancelled due to family sickness. Then she was going to do a show in January, but I could never get in touch with her. Finally she had a show today AND she signed the agreement! I guess even people that you might write off in the beginning should be given benefit of the doubt.
I'm so excited! Only 4 more to go and I'll be walking across that stage at conference! *and I've got 2 leads that are attending our cluster meeting on Monday! Wish me luck! :)
 
That's awesome!!! :D I may have my first recruit sign tomorrow!! It's very exciting just thinking about it!! Congratulations!! :p
 
That's great, Karen! I wish you luck with the other two. Way to go! :)
 
Hey Karen - good luck! I did a Womens Weekend Fair today in Morehead and have 3 very promising leads on recruits. One I am meeting for coffee tomorrow to discuss again, and the other two, I have to call t/m night. Sounds like it was a good weekend for us! :)
