Some recent comments in the chat box made me want to share some thoughts about whether someone should wait to sign because of the changing paperwork next month. I don't think we are helping New Consultants by encouraging them to wait. (Please excuse anything that doesn't make sense. I'm typing fast cause I'm tired, but I know if I don't do this now, it probably won't get done.)
Misconception: I should wait and start with the new catalog in September (or at least wait until the consultant kit includes both summer and fall paperwork).
- Our biggest selling season is the Sep-Dec timeframe. New consultants can leverage July and August to hold their initial shows and build their booking calendars for September. If their goal is to be successful (and make money), they will be glad to have the momentum that having a strong September will bring .
- They can start earning money now while also getting comfortable doing shows. The more they know about the products and the more comfortable they are with host coaching, selling, and the business in general the more successful they will be come September.
- By joining this month, they can earn PC$ in July/August and purchase new product samples for free...and have them in time for their September shows.
Misconception: It's a waste to get the Summer catalogs this late in the season.
- Those summer catalogs will make great 'business cards' once their August shows are ending...and for New Consultants, the more their name is out there, the better.
- They will be able to get the new catalogs with the discounted bonus supply package. (Make sure they write "Fall/Winter catalogs only" on the order form before mailing....versus using P3).
- They should still receive the changeover kit so they will have fall catalogs and materials for their September host coaching (which is why we get the changeover kit)
Misconception: My friends and family will want to wait for the new catalog.
- Not necessarily. July is an incredible host special. We can't guarantee them their July hosts will have shows of $500 or more, but we can help them with the host coaching.
-July/August shows can have great sales because of the changing season. New Consultants (and the rest of us) can leverage the discontinuing items and coming price increases to generate sales.
- The complete August host special isn't announced yet, but the "two new products" available to Aug hosts will probably be pretty amazing. And August hosts will likely get the Sep and Oct host specials anyway thru the booking benefit.
- Many friends and family will book now, if the New Consultant shares with them how much it will help them get started.
I am strongly discouraging my potential consultants from waiting. I want them to be as successful as possible and get the most out of the coming season. Not waiting will give them a head start. (But it is still always their decision on when to sign!)
I have to stop and go to bed. I just wanted to share these thoughts before I lost them. There are directors here who have a whole lot more experience than me, so here's hoping they post if I'm not thinking this thru right. (And these are just my thoughts; your milegae may vary. ):chef:
