Ok, this was my very 1st recruit. She signed then I never heard from her again basically. So I get a random email today, that she had a lot going on with her when she signed so NOW she is ready for PC 8 months later....

My ??? is, she needs to sign up for a debit card before reactivating. So does she just call HO to get that set up? Since she can't log onto CC right (being inactive???) or can she sign up at CC for her debit card??

I wasn't sure what she could do, since she's been inactive and never submitted anything or set up any debit or TPC credit card. :confused:
TIA!
 
$200. In sales will get the ball rolling---Monday she will have to call---to get the Debit application---Keep on her---she is excited now---get the new books to her- congrats-===

Ok, thanks for the info! I will tell her to call HO first thing monday to apply for the debit card!

Once she reactivates, will she get a change over kit for the new season or will she just have to buy the new spring cattys?

I was going to send her some in the mean time to get her orders going to submit that $200 minimum! ;)
 
Heather be sure to warn her that they will take out insurance for the whole time she was inactive. I had a consultant reactivate after 8 months and was pissed because she didn't know that they were going to take out the insurance and hasn't done anything since.
 
Yeah, my recruit that just reactivated wasn't happy about the insurance deduction, either.
 
She CAN still access CC, even while inactive. Inactive consultants can see CC, and can place supply orders except for product (like the saucepan that's on supply order). Because she can get to CC, she should be able to apply for the debit card herself. And as Amanda pointed out, she will be charged for the consultant insurance (and changeover box) out of her first commission check. So if she reactivates with the minimum ($200 in one month), that check will be very small. That's great that she's going to reactivate! Woo-hoo for you!
 
Ann, I never noticed the fee for the changeover kit...how much is it?

Thanks Amanda for the insurance reminder. I have a gal reactivating after almost nine months and I forgot to mention this to her (yikes!).

Does this apply for new consultants who are in their third month and only now starting to work their business? (I.e. will she be charged the insurance from day one when she gets her first commission check...I'm guessing yes?)

leggy
 
2 per month 6 for change --over
 
Morfia's right, $6 for the changeover. But I think HO only charges for and sends the one for the current season.Leggy- Directors aren't charged the $6 for changeover, so you've probably forgotten all about it. :)
 
Ann I didn't know about that perk for Directors. Oh the things I need to learn.First how to recruit, I lost it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some effective strategies to re-engage a former recruit?

To re-engage a former recruit, start by reaching out personally to express your support and interest in their journey. Share updates about new products, promotions, or training opportunities that may excite them. Consider offering a one-on-one coaching session to discuss their goals and how you can help them achieve success. Additionally, invite them to team events or meetings to rekindle their connection with the community.

How can I address a recruit's concerns about returning?

Listen actively to their concerns and validate their feelings. Ask open-ended questions to understand their hesitations better. Provide clear information about any changes in the business model, compensation, or support systems since they left. Offer reassurance by sharing success stories of others who have rejoined and thrived. It's important to create a safe space for them to express their thoughts without pressure.

What resources can I provide to help a recruit feel confident about rejoining?

Provide access to training materials, product guides, and success stories from other consultants. Offer to pair them with a mentor or buddy who can guide them through the reactivation process. Share information about upcoming training sessions, webinars, and team events that can help them feel more connected and informed. Encourage them to set achievable goals and provide tools to track their progress.

How can I motivate a recruit who is hesitant to return?

Motivation can be fostered by highlighting the benefits of rejoining, such as potential earnings, personal growth, and community support. Share testimonials from current consultants about their positive experiences and successes. Offer incentives for reactivation, such as discounts on products or bonuses for achieving specific milestones within their first few months back. Regular check-ins and encouragement can also help keep their spirits high.

What should I do if a recruit is still uninterested in returning?

If a recruit remains uninterested, respect their decision and give them space. Keep the lines of communication open by sending occasional updates about the business and inviting them to events without pressure. Sometimes, timing is everything, and they may reconsider in the future. Focus on maintaining a positive relationship, as this can lead to future opportunities for re-engagement.
