I May Have My First Recruit!! She Doesn't Live Near Me and Has Asked

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The thread revolves around a participant's experience with potentially recruiting their first consultant, who lives overseas. Participants discuss the information needed to support the recruit and share personal experiences regarding the recruiting process and its implications.

Discussion Character

  • Anecdotal
  • Opinion-based
  • Exploratory

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses uncertainty about what information to send to their potential recruit and seeks assistance from others.
  • Another participant suggests a three-way call with a director or recruiter instead of email, noting that the recruit's questions require more detailed answers.
  • Several users mention the challenges of connecting with a director or recruiter, particularly if they are not actively selling.
  • One participant shares specific details about the recruit's requirements for qualification, including the need for shows and sales to remain active.
  • Another participant notes that the recruiter may receive catalogs once the recruit qualifies, sharing their own experience of receiving catalogs quickly after the agreement is transmitted.
  • Some participants discuss the implications of the recruit being overseas, particularly in relation to military status and the ability to sign under the participant.
  • One participant emphasizes the importance of reviewing policies and procedures to prepare for questions from the recruit.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Contextual Notes

The discussion reflects the experiences of consultants navigating the recruitment process, particularly in relation to geographical challenges and varying levels of support from their networks.

Who May Find This Useful

I may have my first recruit!! She doesn't live near me and has asked me to send her info via email. What info do I send to her?? I was looking in the files section but i'm not really sure where to start. If yall could help me that would be great. TIA

ps. some of the info she is asking for is:

"How long do I have to place the first orders, blah blah...how much a quarter must be purchased to stay active, etc."

Also i'm not even sure what having a recruit will do for me?? I am only a hobbiest so I don't even really sell that much... can yall help clue me in on this part also.

Thanks

Rather than e-mail her, try to get her on a three-way call with your director or recruiter. The questions she's asking won't be answered with a flyer. Good luck!

I don't think that will work either. I don't know my directot and my recruiter isn't selling much anymore herself.

She has 90 days to earn her bonus rewards, what used to be called super starter months.

To Qualify she needs 4 shows at $150 each or $1250 which ever comes first.

She needs $200 every two months to stay active I believe it is.

You don't start getting "overrides" until you reach Future Director with 2 active consultants and you have to submit $1250 in personal orders for you to receive the override bonus.

I hope that helps?!

Does anything happen for me once she qualifies.. I thought I read somewhere that once a new recruit qualifies the recruiter would get catalogs or something along those lines??

You get the catalogs as soon as she signs.......25 of them. Sometimes, I have gotten the catalogs the day after the agreement is transmitted!
 
Where overseas is this person? She may or may not be able to sign under you...hopefully she can...

If she is in the military I believe you are just fine because you use APO/FPO addresses. If she was in Canada or overseas NOT in the military then there would be an issue.

...and don't apologize for ?s, it is all a part of the process.

Basically all the ?s I had could be answered with the policies and procedures file. I'd read through that and then make up a list of ?s and answers. Mainly how to submit shows, commission structure, selling requirements before you go inactive...all that...it's all there for you.

She is military;)
 
That's great though Jaime! Even if you're a hobbiest, you never know what could happen!
 
Not sure if this will help you or not, but this is what I give my potentials to help with any questions.
