I had a lady respond to my PWS stating she wants to start selling PC. My first recruit came easy (thanks Jess!), so I am curious what I tell her, what information I give her, etc.
 
If she says she wants to sell, sign her up! Don't give her more info unless she needs it to make a decision.

what is the NEXT stepShe said 'she wants to Join my Team and start selling PC'. I WILL sign her, but I just was curious what info I should start her off with! :)
 
Ask if she has any questions, met up with her and such. Personally, I'm in love :love: with the Come Join us booklet! Its easy, not overwhelming and great to get all the information ya need. If by chance she knows a lot about the company already it can't hurt to use it as a goal setting time. :D

A nice question to ask (and I think I already know the answer in her case) is "Do you just need to know HOW to get started or do you want to know WHY you should get started?" Sounds like she just needs to know how to sign up. Other questions can be answered as she goes through the process. Just direct her to your website and she can go from there and call you along the way with questions.

How did you meet her? Did she just randomly visit your website and contact you? That's awesome! Congrats!

she is excitedShe signed! I am so excited for her! :)

I asked her if she wanted more info, or just wanted to know what to do to get started. She had already made her decision, so I just walked her through the on-line agreement!

The Come Join Us booklet is on CC, isn't it??? (I could send a link in the future)............
