I have had a similar experience and justed asked the recruit lead "You already have all the products and use them dailiy, have you ever thought about getting paid for your knowledge?" This will open your recruit's eyes and just lead into how most of your show is on product knowledge and she definitate already knows all of that, so it would be a walk in the park for her. Good luck!

Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean when a potential recruit marks "Maybe" on the DPDs?
When a potential recruit marks "Maybe" on the DPDs (Decision Point Documents), it indicates that they are uncertain about joining the business at this time. They may have reservations or need more information before making a commitment.
How should I follow up with someone who marked "Maybe"?
Follow up with a friendly and supportive approach. Reach out to them after a few days to see if they have any questions or need clarification about the opportunity. This can help them feel more comfortable and informed about their decision.
What information should I provide to someone who is unsure about joining?
Provide them with details about the benefits of joining Pampered Chef, such as flexible scheduling, potential income, and support from the community. Share success stories and testimonials from other consultants to help them visualize their potential success.
Should I pressure them to make a decision if they marked "Maybe"?
No, it's important to avoid pressuring them. Respect their decision-making process and give them space to consider their options. A supportive and understanding approach will build trust and may lead them to join when they feel ready.
How can I encourage a "Maybe" recruit to consider joining sooner?
You can encourage them by inviting them to attend a team meeting or a product demonstration. This allows them to see the community and culture of Pampered Chef firsthand, which may help them feel more inclined to join sooner.
