I have a meeting tomorrow with my very first recruit ( I now have 5! : )). I've encouraged this little meeting to help her set some new goals. Any words of wisdom? She's been very part-time, but does well with individual shows. I'm just wanting something that will help re-start her business- she wants to move up but as heard all of my bits of wisdom- hoping for some help!

thanks! :)
 
How did you get so many recruits? I am struggling with this part of the biz. I cannot seem to entice people enough. Any tips are welcome.
 
RecruitingThere are lots of reasons why some people recruit and others don't. The main one is attitude.

An other thing to note is that most people don't say yes the first time they are presented with info. Typically you are looking at 5-12 times of being asked to get them to yes. So keep in contact. The people I'm signing recently are people who were at my first shows in 2001 and are finally ready to give this a try.

So keep in contact with people, you aren't being a pest if you go with an attitude of service. The consultant who did my show in 1997 never contacted me after the show, so when I was finally ready in January 2001, I went to the Home Office to start.

You can do this!

I'd talk to her about setting goals. First figure out how much she wants to make each month and then break that down into how many shows she will need to meet that goal. I think it is very important to help your recruits set goals and post them, track with them, and help them meet their goals.

Once she has set a goal and figures out many shows she needs, help brainstorm where she will get her shows. Go back to the list of 100.
 
Thanks! I appreciate the tips!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What strategies can I use to motivate part-time recruits to set ambitious goals?

To motivate part-time recruits, start by understanding their personal motivations and aspirations. Encourage them to set specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals. Share success stories from other recruits to inspire them and provide regular check-ins to discuss progress and challenges. Additionally, offer incentives or recognition for achieving milestones to keep them engaged and motivated.

How can I help part-time recruits balance their time between their job and Pampered Chef?

Encourage part-time recruits to create a structured schedule that allocates specific time blocks for their Pampered Chef activities. Help them prioritize tasks and set realistic goals that fit within their available time. Providing tools and resources for time management can also be beneficial, as well as sharing tips on how to integrate their Pampered Chef work into their daily routines.

What role does communication play in motivating part-time recruits?

Effective communication is crucial in motivating part-time recruits. Regularly check in with them to discuss their goals, provide feedback, and celebrate their successes. Create an open environment where they feel comfortable sharing their challenges and asking for help. Utilize various communication channels, such as group chats, emails, or virtual meetings, to keep them engaged and informed.

How can I create a supportive community for part-time recruits?

Building a supportive community involves fostering connections among recruits through team meetings, social media groups, or local events. Encourage collaboration and sharing of experiences, tips, and resources. Recognize and celebrate individual and team achievements to strengthen the sense of belonging and motivate recruits to strive for their goals together.

What incentives can I offer to encourage ambitious goal-setting among part-time recruits?

Incentives can vary widely, but consider offering rewards such as gift cards, exclusive products, or recognition in team meetings. You could also implement a tiered rewards system where recruits earn points for achieving specific goals, which can be redeemed for larger prizes. Tailoring incentives to individual preferences can also enhance motivation and encourage recruits to set and pursue ambitious goals.
