Last month I had a "light bulb" moment.....I decided that along with my monthly newsletter I send, I'm not going to send a monthly newsletter targeted to just those who have mentioned they might be interested in the PC opportunity (hoping to get all my "fence" sitters to fall offf!).

For December, I bascially put together an e-mail (via constant contact) of everything that's listed on our website plus all of the promos going out right now if you sign.

For January I want to put something out like "commonly asked questions" by potential recruit. I have these...but wondering if I should put anything else in??

How much do you make
How much is the kit
How many shows do you need to do
What's the minimum show
Do you have to pay for host items
Do you have to pay tax or shipping on host items
Do you have to pay for guest specials
Do you have to pay for returns
Are your commissions deducted for returns

What else should I be addressing??

As always, thanks for your help.

How much time do you really spend on your business?
 
Do you have to carry all that stuff to shows?
What if I don't cook?
Is it easy to schedule shows?
Do you have inventory or deliveries?
 
This is what Jillian Eisenberg gives her potentials... hope it helps!

I personalized it with my info at the bottom...

That's greatThanks so much!
 
I wasnn't able to open it could you please email it to me at [email protected]
thanks I really like the idea
 
thnaks was able to open today. waiting for leadership Cinni City here I come
 
That was great! However, I'm kind of, okay, I'll go ahead and say it, anal, about grammar. I only noticed 1 mistake. It might be worth changing it for everyone. You know what they say about first impressions! In paragraph 9, fourth line, change "there" to "their" right before $155. I know for me, it's something I would notice if someone gave it to me to consider. (Again, I'm anal; I'm a teacher and I've worked in the legal field for years.) Not nitpicking, but wanting everyone to make a great first impression with possible recruits (who might be as anal as me!).
 
Thanks, Colleen. I like how it addresses the "non cook" and "salesperson" question. I always say that at shows, but it's helpful to have them read it too when they go through the recruiting packet. Do you happen to know what else Jillian gives out in her recruiting packet? Maybe just this, the catalog and the DVD, I'd imagine.

Darn, I just sent out a few recruiting packets, but I'll get this into the next batch.:thumbup:

I'm hoping some type of recruiting promotion will be announced at Leadership that's a bonus for new recruits in January. I wish we knew for sure because I have a couple people possibly wanting to sign in December, but wonder if they should wait until January. If I remember correctly, last year they DID announce something, but it wasn't retroactive back to Jan 1st like it was some years. I'm planning to bring envelopes and labels with me to Leadership (if I'm organized enough) and maybe this awesome flyer you posted and send out little blurbs to my warmest recruit leads while I'm at Leadership. I'm sure somewhere there I can get copies made of whatever they might hand out. Although that's usually on the last day anyway. I'm just brainstorming ways to get the best jump start to the year and let all my potential recruits know about something. I have way too many fence sitters!!

Becky...I'm hopingTo get a huge start for 2008 as well. So far my 6 shows for January are all booked after January 13th - which means double points. I'm hoping to get at least 2 more for January during that time frame. That certainly will help me. I have about 5 fence sitters right now, and I'm hoping my constant monthly "dripping" on them will push them over here sooner than later - as in January.
