Has anyone ever hosted a "coffee and questions" session for potential recruits? If so, how did it go? What would be a better name than "coffee and questions"?

I have 3 hot leads who want to start before the end of the month so I was thinking about having a "coffee and questions" session on Monday the 29th (after Christmas but before the end of the month) to get them together and get excited again about doing PC.

Your thoughts?
 
sounds like a good idea to me. not sure how I would do it yet. I only have one potential, and she wants to wait until after the 1st of the year, plus she lives in Ohio and I'm in Illinois.

Have you suggested that she sign on 12/31/08 to get that bonus?

Just a thought, if you sign them in January YOU get double points (would be good if you are looking to earn Disney!) Maybe toss in something yourself for them if they sign in January!

Double points are only for sales NOT recruiting.

But if they sign in December then qualify in 2009 then your December recruit DOES count for Disney. so that is good.
