WOW! I didn't think it would happen, but it did! Now, on with qualifying them and getting them off to a good start.....the real work begins!:rolleyes:
 
Janice,

Congrats! Not a Future Director for long. Sorry I missed you in Chicago. Good luck with getting them all qualified in a timely fashion. Hopefully the newest one will want the special July/August promotion.

Thanks, Jeanine and mrs s! She does want the incentive, and she had already booked a show with me, so she had books and order forms, so she just put labels with her contact info on them over mine! She was going to do this with or without me!!
 
Good for you WooHoo! We will be standing and clapping at Leadership! And dont stop recruiting!
 
Congrats, Janice! That's wonderful!:D
 
Janice, Congrats! Did you do or say anything special to get the recruits? Did you get them over a period of time or all at once?

I always drop recruiting lines during my show (A LOT) and I always ask EVERYONE. I figure if only one in ten will sign, I better ask as many as I can!;)

I signed one in April, 3 in one week in May, and then this one in July. It is fun, but a whole lot of work! I just keep remembering that someone on a CD I listened to said "they won't always all be new at once". Thank goodness!

That's great!!! You have been kicking butt since you started!! First your high sales and now all these recruits. Reading your post is making me want to try harder to recruit. I usually don't try to hard.
 
Congratulations! Is there something in particular you say during your shows to get the point across? Do you play the questions game to get them interested in the business? Do you follow up w/ a mtg to get their questions answered?
I ask b/c I want to recruit (espcially now that i attended my first conference! lol) and I am nervous.
Thanks
 
CONGRATULATIONS!

Yes, please, do tell your secret!
 
Way to go.......................
 
CONGRATULATIONS JANICE! Keep up the great work.
 
Congratulations Janice,

Recruiting is a big problem for me. Sales and Bookings I got down but recruiting is all together different.

I'm so happy for you,


Charlie
 
I was so inspired by Janice at my show tonight that I had to try something. After I went through the demo and everyone was drooling over products, I had them turn the catalog over and I showed them the starter kit. I told them: If you want a little, place an order. If you want a lot, host a show. If you want it all, become a consultant. I told them the starter kit was only
$90 and if they submit a minimum of $200 every two months they can purchase the new products at half price when they come out. I have two people considering it!!!! One is a guy and I am really excited about that!!
 
Jennifer - that is awesome - sums it up simply and easy to remember! I will have to use that at my next show - and revise it somewhat for my newsletter! Thanks and good luck! WOW!

Way to go Jennifer!! See, they can't say "Yes" if you don't ask!

So JUST ASK!:D

Now, follow up with in 24 hours....or the excitement level will be gone!
 
Honestly...the top recruiters do that...JUST ASK. For so long, I was afraid to ask anyone for fear that they would get upset or something. Most of my recruits fell into my lap (10 to this day) without any work on my part.

What I have realized now is that I HAVE to ask because I need the numbers on my side....out of 10 people, I want 1 to be interested in the opportunity, 2to want shows and 7 that just want to buy! (BTW-can't claim credit, heard it at conference! Recruiting with the Stars, I think).

Needless to say, I have asked my last 3 hosts...got 2 no's and a yes-an interview TONIGHT! I have 2 HOT leads, 4 warm leads and about 5 cold leads that I am working with so I WILL promote!

I always tell everyone that I am a recruiter for a large world wide company (it's the truth!).

I ask them if they are interested in making $30-$50 per hour a few hours a week, and when the last time their current employer rewarded their hard work with a trip to the Bahamas?

Yeah, that always gets them!:D
