I have 5 recruits signed - 3 need to qualify this month and I will walk the stage at conference. I feel like they will qualify...that is the good news! All have at least 4 shows booked. The reason I need a hug is I am sooo frustrated with training. Am I doing something wrong? I love both these girls...they are just ditsy! I need patience! I need wine!
Recruit #3 - was supposed to qualify by the end of May and turn in all her shows May 30. We have talked 2 or 3 times every week. I had a phone call set up with her to help walk her thru closing out all her shows. She had 4. All were near the end of May. Guess what...she never applied for her PC Debit Card...even tho I TOLD HER TO like a bajillion times. She forgot. So now we are closing out all 4 shows over this weekend and she will qualify in SS#2. And she will not get her 3-tier stand.
Recruit #4 - First show tonight. The host lives 3 miles from her. I went with her to this show because she really wanted me too and I know the people. I am glad I did. She forgot order forms. I said no problem - went to host computer to log onto PC and download one. She did not have Adobe and our forms are PDF. Tried to install Adobe but she has dial up and it would have taken 3 hours. Went to chefsuccess to print a June outside order form - host does not have MSWord so that wouldnt work! Recruits husband was not home to bring the order forms...so I took her keys, went to ther house and got them.
I got back, she was in the middle of the demo, she was reading out the ingredients and not really talkng about the products. Demo was at the kitchen island. She turned around and started washing dishes..said it just comes "naturally and she can't help it". She also brought her 17 month old. Now these people are all her close friends and family so it was okay, but during show, the recruit jsut sat down with them and starts talking and jabbering and feeding her little girl the taco pizza. I gave her a few minutes and tried to prompt her over to the counter to collect orders, well then the little girl is all over her. She got a booking and ask the new host if she could brinig her daughter...she lady said yes! She is at $110 with a bunch of outside orders to come in, most people just left and are bringing the host orders at work on Monday.
Sorry y'all - I am just in a ranting mood and it helps to write it all down. I have to remember that recruit #4 is a "country girl"...she lives down in the county as we call it. This was close friends. She did fine, but she sure can't be sitting and mingling and eating at her show for long extended times like tonight. No two people are going to do a show the same and I should not expect her show to be a clone of mine, but to not even hardly talk about the products!!! This was all on paper order forms and it took some time. Way too much sociallizing. I have fun at my shows & talk but I sure dont waste and hour sitting around!
I dont know how to talk to her. Im just gonna have to tell her...she hardly even talked about products. She talked about the ingredients in the recipe. She is pretty sensitive.
Yes I ask them both if they had read the Recipe for Success and watched the DVD. Both said they did. Recruit #5 btw is awesome. She is doing fine and has it together. It jsut makes me scared that I am not doing enough to train them and am I ready to be a Director? Trust me, I call them, we train on the phone, I gave them all a checklist of what to do, what to bring to the show. Everyone has a training period and I need to be more patient, I am just thinking I might not have a very strong downline in these two.
Again sorry for the rant. It has been a long week. Pouring a glass of wine and taking a deep breath now!!!
