How many of you have recruited since conference? I just recruited one today. I have 3 others I'm following through with next week. I'm back to FD status and $300 in my pocket. Yeah!!
 
Signed one today and have two others seriously considering it... one of which I met on the bus in Chicago!

Still touching base with all my leads...
 
Way to go, girls! I'm workin' on it...! ;)
 
way to go...........YEA!!!!
 
I have 2 serious leads. Keep your fingers crossed.
 
2, with another supposedly signing tomorrow. Not trying to be negative, but I know better than to count it until the ink is on the paper!
 
I have a show tomorrow night w/15 attending. I hope I can get 1 or 2 leads! I'll be doing that recruit talk:)!
 
How do you approach it in your shows? Do you do a tiny blurb and then ask everyone at checkout? Or do you do a bigger discussion on it during shows, let them know the promo, etc.?

I've done a couple of things. Outside of shows I contacted all my recruit leads from the recent fairs, told them about the special. I asked if I could send them some information and get back to them the middle of August.

I have 3 recruit leads that were very serious. I set up and interview with one and two are waiting on funds this week.

In shows: I started implementing what I learned in Top Recruiters Tell All. I attach a label with Did you know statements on all the catalogs. They are Did you know... related to being a host and the business opportunity. Everyone when on time- gets a playing card. Anyone who reads their label during the show (randomly) gets another playing card or they can read their label at the end of the show and trade their card in for another (hopefully getting a higher card). The highest card wins a season's best.

After each guests (they all want to read) reads the label, I expand if needed. Many never knew we could take our groceries off of taxes as a consultant. It gets them thinking. Even if they don't read the label out loud. They read it to themselves. I ask everyone! If they say no, I ask if they know of someone that would like more information.

I've also gone back through old list to contact those I think might be interested.
 
Hey Julie!
Do you have a template you made up for the labels you could share? PLEASE :)
 
Yes, Julie- please post the labels. That sounds like something I could use, and it does not take too much time, to either prepare, OR use during the show. I am currently working with 6 possibles, and I have 2 very active on my team now.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What strategies can I implement to maximize my recruiting success after attending a conference?

To maximize your recruiting success after a conference, focus on following up with the contacts you made during the event. Create a personalized outreach plan that includes sending thank-you notes, sharing conference highlights, and inviting them to join your team. Utilize social media to stay connected and share your journey, and consider hosting a post-conference gathering to introduce potential recruits to your business.

How can I leverage the knowledge gained from the conference to attract new recruits?

Use the insights and skills you gained at the conference to enhance your recruiting pitch. Share new product information, successful sales techniques, and motivational stories that resonate with potential recruits. Demonstrating your commitment to continuous learning and improvement can inspire others to join your team and benefit from the same resources.

What role does social media play in recruiting after a conference?

Social media is a powerful tool for recruiting after a conference. Share your experiences, key takeaways, and photos from the event to engage your audience. Use platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn to connect with potential recruits, showcase your team culture, and highlight the benefits of joining your direct sales business. Regularly posting updates can keep your network informed and interested.

How important is follow-up communication in the recruiting process?

Follow-up communication is crucial in the recruiting process. It shows your potential recruits that you value their interest and are serious about building a relationship. Send personalized messages, schedule one-on-one calls, or invite them to upcoming events to maintain engagement. Consistent follow-up can significantly increase your chances of converting leads into team members.

What are some effective ways to host a post-conference event for potential recruits?

Hosting a post-conference event can be an excellent way to engage potential recruits. Consider organizing a casual meet-and-greet, a product demonstration, or a virtual webinar to showcase your business. Provide valuable information about the opportunities available and create an inviting atmosphere where attendees feel comfortable asking questions. Offering incentives, such as exclusive discounts or giveaways, can also encourage participation and interest.
