I've not been so lucky either! I live in upstate, ny & it's pretty rare that I actually get 1 that turns into something.....I'll get my own leads :)
 
Well, the 3 leads are not panning out. One has no phone number or street address, but wants me to send a catalog!!! I have e-mailed a couple times with no response. Tried to look her up on any who.com but nothing seemed to fit with what little information that I had.

The second was a consultant that one of my downline has signed up 2 times. She had signed up one other time previous to when she met my downline. All three times she did not qualify. Once she sent the kit back, another she donated to the church (ridding her of guilt) and I don't know what happened to number 3. She wants to sign...AGAIN! She had called my downline consultant that recruited her while she was in Miami. She couldn't wait so she put in an HO referral. She told me she did not have my downline's phone number!!! In the meantime, I am passing all of this on so my downline (who is trying to promote) can sign her again. She then needed a consultant number but e-mailed me to just give her any number. I gave her the downline's number. That was a week ago...still hasn't signed. :mad:

The third did book a party then cancelled it because it was on the night of a co-worker's birthday:confused: We have not connected to reschedule. Have one more lead and she did book a party.

HO leads are not the gold mine that you think they would be. And HO needs to get the street address if they get any information.
 
The best thing about HO leads are the online sales. otherwise, my other leads have never panned out wonderfully.

I have a had a lot of leads be duds but I LOVE, LOVE leads.

Some may have given me nothing at all but I have gotten a lot of shows and several recruits through the lead system - and those online sales!

...and I was a lead!
