I had a call out of the blue yesterday from the inactive consultant on my team. She has an opportunity to do a display at a vendor fair this weekend and wants to do it to reactivate. Since she hasn't submitted anything at all this year, she doesn't have any of the new products - Spring, either! She called to see if she could borrow some products and get some catalogs from me in case her supply order isn't delivered in time.

Yay!

I have spoken to her a couple of times since Conference - no pressure, just "we miss you" and letting her know that she has to submit something before the end of March if she doesn't want to buy a new kit. She sounded excited to get going again, so now I'm excited again!

I'm putting together a grouping of some new things, from all year long (it's a health fair at a hospital, so the salad items from spring will be great), and giving her some old catalogs. I'll "front" her some new mini cattys and full-size cattys until her order comes in and she can give me replacements.

Now if I can just keep the other 2 gals from going inactive (1 needs to submit $50 by the end of the month, the other needs $200) - then I'll have 3 active at the same time.
 
You go Ann... thanks for sharing with us how important it is to keep that contact going! You are always so much help here! Thanks for everything!
 
Woo-hoo Ann!

AND- the gal who called me is planning to come to our cluster meeting on the 2nd! Only my most recent recruit has been consistent about attending meetings and training. I'm hoping that the meeting gets her even more excited - we're going to be discussing Halloween and Holiday ideas. (Which reminds me, I need to get some of those together, since I'm the one handling that part of the meeting. :rolleyes:)
 
I'm happy for you, Ann. I imagine you're a wonderful trainer and motivator.
 
Wow Ann, that's great!

If I could get a few of my inactives to return a phone call, I'd be a director in no time!:rolleyes:
