OMG I did customer care calls last night and noticed that one of the women had put down that she may be interested in doing PC! well when I called she said she is very interested and we are going to sit down for Coffee tomorrow!!!!!!!!!! I'm still pretty new myself what do I say? I have a call into my director hope she gets back to me soon but I figured I'd get pointers from you guys... Do you have stuff you give them to look at, my recruiter did but I dont still have all the papers AND I was not overly impressed with what she gave me anyway!

I think I have the your life your way DVD from when I got it from my Director but it really does not give you much as far as information goes just gets you excited!

:love: I"m so happy!!!! hope this pans out I could use a boost for my buisness!!!

plus the recruiting points ;)
 
Just remember, don't make it about you. You might be nervous, but make it about her. Don't bombard her with too much info, Keep it simple and answer her questions. Be honest with her, if you don't know an answer tell her you will get the correct answer for her. I recruited 2 in my first 90 days, so you don't have to be a pro to recruit!! Good luck!
 
You can go onto CC and print off the Come Join Us Booklet and review that with her. I believe there is also a training you can do online that cover's the booklet.

Good luck.

That's what I'd recommend too. If you have time, the online training course called "The Recruiting Interview" basically walks you through a recruiting interview by following the "Come Join Us" booklet. If you don't have one of those, you can print it up. This is the most basic way to do an interview and it covers all the bases. Like mentioned about, make it about HER and what she wants out of PC and why she's interested. IF there is a question you can't answer, just let her know you'll find out and get back to her.

Sometimes it's helpful to do a 3-way call with your Director and let your Director lead the call. It's also good training. But, an in-person interview is always better. Good luck!!!

Do this! It only takes 20 minutes and you can print out the exact words to walk you through the booklet. I just used this at an interview this week. It's very useful. Good luck!
 
So how did it go?
