Has anyone ever done this?
I am thinking of giving this a try...
My thought is to invite anyone who checked "yes" or "maybe" on information about the biz.
My fear: No one will come:cry:
Thoughts? Advice?
TIA! :D
 
We sure to make sure that you do the invite or a follow up call in a person way Not just and Evite and then hope people show up
 
I have started holding Cook and Look sessions. I have my downline and myself invite anyone that is interested in learning more about PC attend. I do require that the consultant who has the lead attend also. We watch the DVD go over what comes in the kit (I have all the products on display), list of who you know and we cook a new start recipe. Keep in mind that I just threw out a list of things that we do in no particular order...and I try to have the recruit leads talk and tell us what interests them and telling us more about themselves.
I am trying to hold this monthly, but not sure if I can schedule it in Sept. So far we have had 4 show up. One has signed. Results of this past month are 2 showed and no word yet on when they will sign. (one was a hospitality lead).
Keep in mind that this is new to us and I am hoping it will grow and also that our results will grow too!
