Hi there!

Does anyone have a flyer they give to anyone with a full time job? I know I have seen one before, I just can't find it. I need something to help this lady see past having a full time job and kids. She is sooooo in love with the products and I know she would be soooooo good at this. thanks so much!
 
I work 6 days a week + online college courses + pampered chef. That is why PC is so great b/c I can work it around my schedule. There is no stress b/c I'm my boss. I don't have a sheet but I don't mind speaking w/her if you need me to.

Thank you so much!!!!! I would love to offer her to talk to you! Is there a good number to reach you at?
 
Uh, yeah, introduce her to me (to tell her she can do it not to steal your recruit). Honestly, PM me if you want.I bet I can beat her list of activities! ;)Reminder her that it is her life, her way...she can do PC as a hobby even, get great stuff.
Emphasize that you would love to support her no matter what her level in PC.
 
By the way those hours I gave you in the PM are CST.
 
I was working full time when I signed ... 2 months later they moved me out of management and 5 months after that they took 8 hours away from me.So my sometime gig is becoming my lifeline.I'd offer to have her call me but I'm working, house-sitting and oh yeah ... doing shows. I'm busy, busy, dredfully busy ...

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main concerns when recruiting full-time employees for direct sales positions?

One of the main concerns is ensuring that potential recruits understand the nature of direct sales, including the commission-based pay structure and the need for self-motivation. Additionally, there may be worries about job stability and benefits compared to traditional employment.

How can I address the concerns of full-time employees about transitioning to direct sales?

It's important to provide clear information about the earning potential, flexibility, and personal growth opportunities in direct sales. Sharing success stories from current team members can also help alleviate fears and demonstrate the viability of a direct sales career.

What benefits can I offer to attract full-time employees to a direct sales role?

While direct sales typically do not offer traditional benefits, you can highlight flexible work hours, the opportunity for unlimited income potential, personal development training, and a supportive community. Offering incentives like bonuses or recognition programs can also be attractive.

How do I ensure that full-time employees feel supported in a direct sales environment?

Providing ongoing training, mentorship, and access to resources can help full-time employees feel supported. Regular check-ins and team-building activities can also foster a sense of community and belonging, which is crucial for retention in direct sales.

What strategies can I use to recruit full-time employees who may be hesitant about direct sales?

Utilizing a consultative approach during the recruitment process can help. Engage potential recruits in conversations about their career goals and how direct sales can align with those. Offering trial periods or shadowing opportunities can also help them experience the role without full commitment.
