I'm sure there are rules against blatantly walking through the store handing brochures to the employees, and I don't want to be arrested, and even more sure there are rules against putting flyers on the cars at the shopping center (you can be fined for that).

So what are your thoughts on how to point out to the Linens N Things employees that there is a better option after they lose their job than to just find another one at another big box?
 
You could talk to them while you are shopping. Ask them what their plans are when the store closes. Could be that they are looking for something.
 
Are all Linens N Things closing? Or just the one by you? I hadn't heard anything yet.
 
I read it on yhe internet! They are all closing!
 
The one by my house in Virginia already closed...:(
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the LNT Closing technique in direct sales?

The LNT Closing technique stands for Listen, Nurture, and Transition. It is a method used in direct sales to effectively engage potential recruits by first listening to their needs, nurturing the conversation to build rapport, and then transitioning into discussing the opportunity to join the team.

How can I effectively listen to potential recruits using the LNT Closing?

Effective listening involves paying close attention to what the potential recruit is saying, asking open-ended questions, and showing genuine interest in their responses. This helps you understand their motivations and concerns, which can guide your conversation toward the benefits of joining your team.

What are some ways to nurture the conversation during the LNT Closing?

Nurturing the conversation can be achieved by sharing personal stories, providing encouragement, and addressing any concerns the potential recruit may have. Use affirmations to validate their feelings and experiences, which can help build trust and make them feel more comfortable discussing the opportunity.

How do I transition to discussing the recruitment opportunity?

Once you have listened and nurtured the conversation, you can transition by linking their interests and needs to the benefits of joining your team. For example, if they express a desire for flexibility, you can highlight how being a Pampered Chef consultant allows for a flexible schedule and the potential for additional income.

What should I do if the potential recruit shows hesitation during the LNT Closing?

If a potential recruit shows hesitation, it’s important to acknowledge their feelings and provide reassurance. Ask them what specifically is causing their hesitation and address those concerns directly. Offering additional information, testimonials, or even a trial experience can help alleviate their doubts and encourage them to consider the opportunity more seriously.
