I signed my first recruit yesterday. I am so excited right now. Since I got back from conference I have been all about recruiting. I currently have 6 people that want to do it. 2 are definates for the end of the year when things calm down. 2 I am hoping will sign any day and 3 that are almost there, but just not quite ready to commit. So thats actually 7. Oh How can I get them to go for it? I really think this is the best time to do it.
Just jumping out of my skin right now, because I feel like I am so close to getting directorship, but so far away.

Also, can anyone tell me.. I know directors get an increase in pay, but is 30% the base? Does that go up based on monthly sales just like a regular consultant does?
TIA
 
Re: Wahoooo!hooray for you :) the first recruit is a great feeling! use your momentum to keep building your team. The first one is the hardest!for the fence-sitters.... have you shown them the no-risk opportunity flyer? adapt it to show the rebate promo & it shows them that signing is really a no-brainer!
 
Re: Wahoooo!I'm so proud of you!!! Way to go!!!!

You can't. No matter how much we may personally feel it's the best thing for someone, it is ultimately their decision. Respect that, and they will respect you for it. (And if they don't sign, they may send you referrals.)
 
Re: Wahoooo!Oh yeah,


CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Re: Wahoooo!Thanks- I was determined to make it work. The beginning was rough to say the least, but I am happy I stuck with it. Guess my problem now is that I want it all right away. I need to pace myself huh?
 
Re: Wahoooo!Pacing yourself is good, though I can't say I've really learned how to yet (but I'd like to!). I've always been one to try to fit as much into an alloted time as possible; drives my family nuts.
