I just signed #3 today (#1 is inactive though)!!!!

Here is my question, #3 is the daughter and her mother wants to sign up under her. How does that work? Do I make commission off of her? Does she count as mine until #3's a director? I'm so confused!

Can you seasoned consultants help me?

TIA
 
Until you're a Director, you only receive overrides on your personal recruits. So you will not earn on the mom until you promote. She will count in your first line for maintaining Directorship until #3 promotes, but she won't count as one of the 5 you need to promote.
 
I have 4 personal recruits with one having her own recruit. Once I get #5 & become director, will my recruit's recruit count as my 5 to keep directorship? My director told me no but if I am reading your post right, you are saying she does. Please help. I am curious about that because I'm not sure one of my girls is staying. I know...keep recruiting. I plan to. Just wanted to know.
 
Yes - anyone in your group down to and including another Director (but not their team) will count for you maintaining Directorship.

thanks chefann! You are the best! I can always count on you to answer my questions!
 
Aw, shucks. Thanks. But a lot of the info I pass on is just from the Policies document from CC.
 
Thanks! That is what I was thinking but then she said otherwise. I guess I could have looked it up again but you seem to be the know-it-all around here. And I mean that in a positive way.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is recruiting family members often confusing for new consultants?

Recruiting family members can be challenging because personal relationships can complicate business dynamics. New consultants may feel hesitant to approach family due to fear of rejection or concerns about mixing personal and professional relationships. Additionally, family members may have preconceived notions about direct sales that can create misunderstandings.

How can seasoned consultants help me with recruiting family members?

Seasoned consultants can provide valuable insights and strategies for approaching family members. They can share their own experiences, offer tips on how to communicate the benefits of the business, and help you develop a pitch that feels comfortable and authentic. Their guidance can help you navigate potential challenges and build confidence in your recruiting efforts.

What are some effective strategies for recruiting family members?

Effective strategies include having open and honest conversations about the business opportunity, focusing on the benefits rather than just the product, and inviting family members to attend a Pampered Chef party or event. Additionally, sharing personal success stories and how the business has positively impacted your life can make the opportunity more appealing.

Should I offer incentives to family members for joining?

Offering incentives can be a good way to encourage family members to join, but it’s important to approach this carefully. Consider providing them with a special discount, free products, or exclusive training sessions. However, ensure that the incentives do not overshadow the genuine benefits of the business opportunity, as this can lead to misunderstandings or resentment.

What if my family members are not interested in the business?

If your family members are not interested in joining, it’s important to respect their decision. Focus on building your business with those who are genuinely interested. You can still share your passion for Pampered Chef with them, as they may become customers or refer others to you. Maintaining a positive relationship is key, regardless of their interest in the business.
