How Can You Support a New Recruit Balancing Life Changes and Business Goals?

[Leigh0725]

Okay, I signed a gal at the beginning of August and here is my situation. I don't want to push her too much, as I don't want her to feel so overwhelmed and quit. At the time that I signed her, her and her husband put a bid in on a new house (new for them, but not brand new). So, towards the end of August, they closed and are now in the process of painting/moving and getting their son settled into a new day care. She currenlty has one gal that is doing a catalog show (set to close on 9/10). If she could go back and have a redo, she would have signed up at the end of September. The timing ended up being kind of bad. She seems really motivated and says that she has contacts that are interested in doing shows. I am assuming the $200 in sales in two months only pertains to those who have qualified correct? I think that she will do a great job at PC, just wish the timing was a bit better. My main thing is that I don't want to overwhelm her.

Life happens. Unfortunately she can't get her first 30 days back but she still has 60 more to get bonuses and even if she doesn't earn the bonuses she is still going to reap the benefits of a great, generous company.

She will not go inactive unless she doesn't submit $200 in the 2 calendar months prior to her 4th month of business. So if she signed in August let's say August is month 1 so she must do $200 in September and October combined so that on November 1 she stays active. But you know what? Even if she doesn't do that she's still okay. You don't get the trip points but otherwise it really doesn't matter. She'll be fine.

Hi there! It sounds like you are in a tough situation with your new recruit. It's understandable that you don't want to overwhelm her, especially with all the recent changes in her personal life. It's great that she seems motivated and has contacts interested in doing shows, so hopefully that will help her reach her sales goal.To answer your question, the $200 in sales in two months does only pertain to those who have qualified. So as long as she reaches that, she should be on track to start earning commission. Just make sure to keep checking in with her and offering support as she navigates her new role with all the other things going on in her life. Good luck!
