A friend of mine from high school contacted me and wants to do a cooking show, not a catalog show. She lives FIVE HOURS AWAY FROM ME!!

Anyone want to sign up under me as a recruit!!???!!??

I have NO idea how to go about looking for a recruit so far away from me! ANY WORDS OF WISDOM!!!??!!!??:cry:
 
Offer the opportunity to your friend! :DIf she really insists on a cooking show, she could go to the main PC website and look into asking for a consultant in her area. Then her request will go through the Lead system and someone will get her info.

The only way you can get "credit" for the show is if you do it or she signs under you. If she isn't interested ask her if she has a friend who might be?

Maybe she'd like you to come for a visit. You can deduct the mileage and expenses. Does she live near others you know? Try to get additional shows at the same visit. Then recruit someone while you are there to do the bookings from the show(s).
 
If she isn't wanting to sign, which would be the ideal scenario, What about a "virtual" cooking show? Skype in and instruct them on the cooking demo and products. Maybe a consultant in the area would allow you to borrow the products needed?
