I have an opportunity to do another vendor fair. It is about 3 hours away, but it is where my family lives, so I was going to do it. I really like the business I have there(mostly family and friend) and can always count on them in a pinch. I would really like to use this opportunity to more get recruits than bookings. I know I should really want the bookings, but since it is so far away, I only schedule home show there about once a month or every other month. I do catalog shows there on a regular basis, but I just can't do the traveling as much as I would like.
My question is...It will be the first Sat in Dec. I wanted to really talk up the recruitment side of things. Does anyone have any dirt on upcoming recruit promotions that will be coming out soon? I would love to give them extra incentive to sign up!
Thanks,
Leslie
 
I'd focus on how they could pay off all their holiday shopping by simply working for TPC for 1-3 months and doing 4 shows a month.
 
You can talk about how you have a lot of business there that you would like to share so you don't have to do all that driving!
 
Another thing you can do is do a Mega show there once a month or every other month. That way you can see your family and do more than one show on I trip!

Additionally, prepare a presentation or a video that showcases your products and the business opportunity.

How can I follow up with leads after the vendor fair?
