Who May Find This Useful

It's great affirmation to know that for MANY people, they will take the plunge when it's the right time for THEM. As much as we want to grow our teams and share this awesome job with others, it needs to happen when it feels right.

Becky........She's like a little pierogi/perogi....I got that analogy from a director friend of mine who I do meetings with. She has a consultant now who took YEARS to sign. She calls her "my little pierogi" because she needed to wait to pop up to the top of the pot when the time was right! I just love that. I use that analogy sometimes.:):)

Congrats again!
 
Congrats Becky !!!!! Keep up the good work.

I LOVE that! I have a whole pot full of them!

Another past host (2 yrs ago) who I thought for sure was going to sign said "Now isn't the time". I recently had a phone conversation with her (but before conference!) and she thanked me for keeping her up to date and aware of promotions, but not "hounding" her. She still says she wants to do this when the time is right...so I guess she's not ready to pop to the top just yet!:D
 
Becky,

That is just awesome! Congratulations! You rock!

Yeah seriously!! Lots of us probably do have a full pot. We'd have QUITE a meal if they all popped up at the same time! LOL.:D I do like keeping those luke warm potential consultants up to date and do it in a manner that's not "stalker-like." It is nice to hear when they appreciate being updated. Maybe we need to start a mini-newsletter for those people to keep them updated every few months and call it "The Pierogi Post" or something like that. Ha, ha!
 
sweet Becky!!!!!!!!!!!

An Update:

Just spoke with her (I'd called and left a message on her cell - she is at the zoo and didn't hear her phone!) and gave her options for signing. She decided she would like for me to do a show for her in the next 2 weeks (has to go home and check her calendar) and then use the Kit Credit, and have some FPV to use too, and then she could observe me during that show and use it as training. She is going to work on her bookings right now, and have bookings lined up BEFORE we do her show, so we can close it immediately and get her kit for her.

Now - my director is on vacation, but I want to get a Paperwork Kit for her.....maybe I'll try call my AD!
 
If you can't find one, Becky, you can always lend her a pack of catalogs (if you can spare them) so she can hand out host packs, and she can repay you when her kit arrives. And you can print the policies and that other stuff for her to read (the policies aren't even in the kit anyway).
 
That is awesome Becky! Congratulations!
 
FANTASTIC BECKY!!!!

Yeah!!! I wouldn't wait "for the ink to dry" either - get her on board.

CONGRATS!!
 
That is such an exciting story!!! YAY!!! Way to keep the water lighting rolling for her!
 
Congratulations Becky!
 
Yay, Becky! That's great news! You're little pierogi is getting ready to pop up!:D
 
Becky I don't know how I missed this thread before! Congratulations! That is really encouraging to me as well. I have had a "maybe" lead for 2 years now.

I thought I posted it in the 3-2-1 thread...but maybe not!

But thanks Ellen! Her show is next week - and she's signing at the show!

I have been rehearsing how to encourage everyone at the show to either book a show to help her get started, or sign with her, and get their kit for an amazing price too!
 
That is AWESOME!
 
Becky- I'm soooo super, dooper, happy for you! WHAOOOOO!!!
