Is My PC Recruit MIA? How Can I Get Her Back on Track?

[PamperedTammy]

I recruited a girl about 70 miles from where I live back in September. She was all ready and excited about doing PC. She had her 4 shows all ready in line and was ready to rock. Well, I don't know what has happened, but she has not done anything since she has signed. I have tried to call her on numerous occasions and have sent her several emails....Nothing! :yuck: I am beginning to feel like my efforts were worthless. :grumpy: :grumpy: I don't want to give up on her, but I am getting no where with phone calls or emails. What would you do?

I'd mail her (and email) a copy of the December consultant special and the November sell-a-thon. I'd also include information about catalog shows (local and out of area/state) and gift certificates. I'd include a handwritten note to her, reminding her about the friends that were ready to support her in her new business. Include how the holidays is a great time to jump start her business. Many people are looking for gifts for Christmas. Gift certificates are available. I'd let her know that you have tried to contact her to see how you can help her. Does she have a cluster meeting she can attend that is close to her? If so, remind her that those people are their to cheer her on.

I'm sending this to my two that just went inactive.

New recruitI had a coffee interview with a potential recruit today. I went through the 8 questions. #8 Do you have any ?s for me or are you ready to know how to get started? She wanted to know how to get started. Easy for me. Money was an issue with the full amount, so she is using her show on the 15th to apply $40 towards the kit. I gave her (homework) to get the bookings set with the names she listed as ones to host cooking shows with her. I'm following up this week to see who is set on the calendar. Her husband is against PC if she can't bring in money to add to family income. I suggested she tell her husband to give her 90 days, to show what she could contribute to the family. She will come with me 3 days before her show to my cluster meeting.

She's not who I would have seen as a PC consultant, but she asked me. Everyone should be given the information and make an informed decision. I'm not looking to recruit people, but to see who I can help. That's my motto. She just lost her job, and she's not wanting to go back to home care. She wanted to try something new. We had a great conversation.
This may be just the thing for her. On the 17th, I'm having a large vendor holiday bazaar. I'm having her come join me, to get outside orders and book shows.

Tammy, I know how you feel! Just realize that you are doing all that you can and are expected to do. The previous advise was excellent!!

If she continues to ignore you, just keep trying to keep in touch, then bless and release. And if that happens, please don't let it discourage you. It is something with her and not you.

Also, there may have been a reason, such as an emergency in her family. I just learned that my secretary's husband had a mild heart attack on Friday. He is only 45! Life can throw us off at any given moment!
