Got my first HO lead today. I was really excited. :p

Then I talked with her. Now I'm really, really excited! :D She's a former director. At one point she had 30 people under her. Life changed and she sort of let her business peter out. She hasn't been a consultant for a few months. She's been thinking about it, though, and wants to sign back up under someone local. That would be me. She just wants someone to be supportive and not pressure her.

Don't worry, I know that not every HO lead will work out like this, and I'm not counting my chickens til they're hatched. I'm just excited. :balloon:
 
Re: Wahoo!Yeah!! That's exciting! Keep us posted.I had an old recruit lead just email me after one of my Newsletters went out (I did a price-alert about the stoneware! ;) ).
She said
I appreciate your emails and I know why you are sucessful. I am going to begin a business opportunity. I would like to ask you some questions about tips on succeeding if you dont mind. I also want to order a stone on Friday.

I'm hoping she's looking to sign-up...her note was sort of confusing. But it would make me a TL finally! Course, I'm not about "ME" at all in this...just would be a hoot!

Re: Wahoo!Thanks, all! I'm blessed. My team is small and new, but they're going gangbusters. I couldn't be more proud of them.If this lead joins my team she'll probably be able to teach me more than I could ever teach her. That's okay, though. I'm ready and willing to learn.
 
Re: Wahoo!That is awesome, Rae! Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
 
Re: Wahoo!How exciting Rae!
 
Re: Wahoo!Yea, Rae!!!! Sweet! I'm excited for you.

Re: Wahoo!I spoke with her earlier this afternoon. She's been having a bit of trouble logging into my website. (People who try are often told I don't exist. You didn't know I was a figment of your imaginatino. Did you?) She managed to get there while we were talking. I'll have a chance to meet her tomorrow. She's got some people who want to host right away, so I'm loaning her some catalogs.
