Yea! I may have a recruit, but he is a guy and a little wary about that! Is there anything I can tell a male recruit that would make the opportunity more attractive to him?:confused:
 
I beleive that the men in PC have a higher show average. What woman would not want to come to a show, where a MAN would be cooking for them.
 
I am in the process of signing a guy next week. He too was a little wary-but I told him the same thing--women love to watch a man cook--plus he is very charming--and I think they would fall in love with him. He is a chef too, so it would be soooo natural. and his wife sells partylite!!! So he already knows what the buisness is like--yeah!

I sent him the Empowering Women mag with the male seciton highlighted so he can see that there are guys here that are actually more successful than the women! Can't wait until Monday when we get together and sign:)

Good luck!

Empowering womenThat is a great idea! I think the magazine will help! Thanks!
 
I'm signing a guy this week and I told him about Tom Marston and Don Funt and how successful they are. I showed him several copies of the kitchen consultant news and he was very impressed with how well they do in this company. I said I think it might be an advantage, not a disadvantage. Good luck and congratulations on your recruit!!!
 
I have a neighbor who would be SO great at it. I've planted a few seeds, but he's really a macho macho man. I think I'll copy the man article from EW for him-I don't know that he would appreciate reading "Empowering Women" You know how some guys can be...and I LOVE the idea of showing a copy of the CN so they see their awesome totals!
 
That's what I was going to say...if you've gotten your KCN. Turn to the page where it shows the conference awards; those men are awesome!
 
My husband was a consultant before I was. He loved it and did great at it, however, Sept 11th happened and he is in the Air Force and needless to say since then he has been "out of town" more than he has been at home. He went inactive and I signed the constultant agreement. Men do great at it. I think women see if men can do it they can too!
 
Tell him to do what Tom Marston does! Get a Home Depot paint bucket for his tools and wear a tool belt too! Thats such a guy thing!
