Considering Becoming an Consultant!

[pamperedposey]

I have always told my consultants if they decide to sign before their show then the show is theirs. If they decide after the show, I've already done my job so I should get paid. I don't say it in those exact words, but you know what I mean. And heck, they always get their bookings!

As a new consultant you need the sales from your friends and family to get you started. Once they have bought from your recruiter they aren't going to want to turn around next week and order again through you.

If it were me...I would give her $300 of the sales so that you can get your kit credit and 24 hours later you sign and start submitting the rest of your orders. She gets the $300 of the sales for helping you get started with your 1st show. That's just my opinion.

hey congrats on signing up!!! try go get you 4 dates for your first parties confirmed before you sign up! i didn't do this because i didn't understand that i need physical parties i just put dates in! so just letting you learn from my mistake!! and plead with your friends and family to host one for you and things will go good from there!

If you already gathered $500 in outside orders, consider asking your recruiter to keep those orders for yourself as you first show. If I were you recruiter I would TOTALLY do that with you!

That's what I do too.

Don't forget the charter gifts for your first hosts to help you get bookings!

what are charter gifts?

 

[pamperedtara]

Hosts whose shows close by your 30th day get a FREE gift in addition to their other host benefits. I think they can choose from either the cranberry silicone trivet or the Lemon Rosemary Hand Soap. Just another way to help you get off to a great start!

well thats nice to know. a little extra incentive for the hosts. thanks

Also New ConcultantHey i'm also a new consultant. And a stay at home mom. Have been for the last 3 1/2 yrs. I wish I had read some of this stuff before I did my first show. Because My first show guests sales weren't that high and I didn't have many people at my show. But I did get 2 future bookings one in March and one in April.
I'm having a very hard time getting anyone interested in hosting a Feb show even though the host deal is so great. They basically say they don't have any friends or don't think they can get many to show. I can't seem to convince them.
Also I'm a military wife and live in england. There are 2 bases where I live and it seems maybe too many consultants already who already have a good clientel. I'm fealing very discouraged..

Try an open house or a mystery host show, invite lots of people, and ask at the show if anyone would help you get started by hosting a show

Don't worry, sometimes it starts slow, but keep working at it! Congratulations!

It's your recruiters job to help you get your first shows & help you get started in this business. I would absolutely suggest you take the outside orders you already have & submit them as your first show, or maybe split them up into smaller shows - you'll qualify faster. I just signed 2 new consultants this week and turned over 7 show leads to them to get them started. My job is to help them be successful! I started in a similar way ... decided before my show that I was going to sign. Fortunately, it was before I mailed my invites so I scaled down my guest list & saved my closest friends for my grand opening. Maybe you can talk to a few of your friends about waiting for your grand opening and do another show in a week. You mentioned that you moved recently. Call all your old friends/neighbors & ask them to help you by hosting a catalog show!!
Good Luck!!!
