Yeah for me!! I'm so thrilled to have officially signed my first recruit. I just submitted her show and I have a signed contract in my hands. She will be great at this because she wants the extra income. She has lots of bookings lined up, fairs planned, etc. We got her signed before the 31st and she plans to qualify before the end of Sept because she wants those knives!

I'm personally thrilled because prior to a combined cluster meeting after conference (I didn't attend this year), I didn't even consider recruiting. I was just focused on my shows/sales and not messing up. They got me so fired up about recruiting, I wanted to try it! Now, I have my first recruit and two other "potentials" out there!

I'm trying not to let the fact that my Sept only has ONE show get me down (one more just cancelled!!)- I want to enjoy this moment!!

Yippee!!!
Joanne
 
Fantastic. Focus on the positive.
 
Yay!! Congratulations! I too just recently signed my 1st recruit, it really keeps you excited and pepped up being excited for someone starting their own business! Enjoy it!:D
 
That's great, ME TOO!

Be sure the paperwork is RECEIVED by Thursday for the recruting bonuses!
 
Congratulations!!! Build a strong team and you're buiulding your future!!
 
WAY TO GO!!!
 
Congratulations! I too just recently signed my 1st recruit too and working on my 2nd!!! :)

Anne,
I just NOW read the fine print on your last quote (I've seen your posts lots of times) and never laughed so hard! I almost fell out of my chair! I LOVE IT!! May I copy it and forward it on to a few friends?!?!

Thanks for all the support! My Director and Hosptiality Director were thrilled!!

I plan to sign her up online, I'm just waiting for the show to be received in the system.

Thanks again!
Joanne
 
Congrats...I signed my first a couple of weeks ago now we are working on getting here qualified.
 
Congrats to you! My first just signed up last Thursday & I have another who will be signing tomorrow or Thursday!
 
Congrats everyone! That's great!! I had two consultants sign in July and was thinking I'd have a few more by the end of August, but those didn't materialize into anything. There's a chance I may have ONE more by the end of the month, but there's only today and tomorrow left!:eek:
 
Joanne: By all means, go ahead and copy it!

I have two recruits right now. Three actually, but one went inactive before qualifying. The two I have, one is going to be incredible. I think she has five shows lined up already through Sept and Oct. The other is either $500 or two shows away from qualifying, and she is struggling.

What resources should I provide to my new recruit?

Provide your new recruit with access to training materials, product catalogs, and any relevant company resources. Introduce them to your team and encourage them to participate in training sessions or webinars. Sharing your personal experiences and tips can also be incredibly helpful as they start their journey.

How can I support my recruit in their early days?

Support your recruit by being available for questions and offering guidance as they navigate their new role. Schedule regular check-ins to discuss their progress, challenges, and successes.
