Hi - I've only been doing PC for about 6 months now, and I'd really like to start recruiting. I've listened to trainings, CDs, etc. - given out all of the proper info and followed all of the steps i've been taught so far, but i haven't had too much luck yet. I was wondering if whoever reads this, could tell me their single most successful way to recruit.

Thanks so much! I can't wait to hear your responses and try them out!

1. Being excited about my business! That is the one thing that really helped me recruit last year.

2. Don't make it look too hard. Don't overload yourself with things to carry in to every show. That looks too hard to them and they won't see it as something that they want to duplicate.

3. Use the recruiting promotions. 3 Forged Knives!! That is awesome. When I signed I got the Santoku when I qualified. I was thrilled with that, but 3 would have been so much more exciting!

I couldn't agree more!
 
And ask everyone!! You'll hear that from all the top recruiters. Ask everyone as they check out from a show, "Have you ever thought of doing something like this?" You never know what doors that will open. If that makes you uncomfortable, definitely start with talking to your hosts about it. Good luck!!:)
 
For those who are sitting on the fence, I often just say try it out for 4-6 shows. After you've done these shows you will definitely know if this is a good fit, but you'll never know unless you try. I share a story about my director...she signed for the products, but after doing her first few shows she had more bookings than she knew what to do with, her commission blew her away, and 14 years later she still doing it and loving it!
 
All the tips you've gotten so far is what I would have said...

Remember, it's all about what PC can do for THEM, not you.
 
Don't think it's going to happen overnight! We need to develop relationships and get to know people. Just from hearing our story, most won't sign that night. It's a process and it takes time.I know for me, I waited about 9 months before I signed. Last year I had a women sign right at a show. The next day, I signed a woman who I had been talking to about the opp for 3 years. We just never know! So keep developing the leads, talk to everyone and some will be ready to go!

Anyone still out there? I would like to know which online training is a favorite or the best. Should I look for a tele class or one of the online training courses. I know I could do any and all of them but does anyone have a favorite or a suggestion?
 
First of all, be patient! It took my directo 2 years to recruit me.... and she's glad she waited, and I'm glad she persisted! No isn't always NO, it's usually "not right now". Keep everyone informed and in your calendar. Follow ups are great times to offer the biz again. :thumbup:
