So I held my first ever cook and book today! Yay!! The only thing I was afraid was that I had never held one and I only had one RSVP! But that was okay for me because I she's my FD and I'll spend all day answering and training for her. :)

Well she called me at 12:30 to let me know that she was coming, bringing her newest recruit Molly and Molly was bringing her mom and mom's friend. Well, they came in and did introductions. We got to know each other for about 15 minutes and then I found out why the mom and friend came.

We then did the cook part and the mom did everything!! In fact, she told me what to do! She knew the recipe by heart just by doing it once the other night!

We got in the list of 100 and I asked what's holding them back, and they both said NOTHING!! :party::party: I said, alright, are you ready to sign up right now? They both said YES!!

So, I submitted two online agreements for my recruit's recruit!! I now have 2 future directors in my first line until Andrea promotes! YAY!! :D:D

Very successful day, huh? :D
 
What a great day for you :D Congratulations!

I have made a promise to myself that I am going to REALLY work the 3+2+1 method (that being 6 contacts a day)~I'd like to prove to myself that I can do it and show other nay-sayers that it really does work! Maybe I'll have some news like this in a few weeks!
