Well my son is now 3 weeks old and I finally got my first recruit. It's actually funny because I was thinking after he was born I would have to work extra hard to get shows, and I never thought I would have a recruit.
It is a friend from church who has been wanting to do it but her husband was against it. It has taken over a year and he finally has agreed to let her do this!!
I am so excited. Now my question: What do I do?? There is an online agreement to fill out right? Could I use my credit card info and just let her give me a check. Is that allowed? I don't think she has a CC.

Would appreciate any help!! Thanks,
Debbie :D
 
I think you can do that. You can also mail in the paper kit agreement with a check, I believe.

Congrats!!
 
Congrat's!!!!! Way to go with the recruit and the new baby..... She can give you a check and you can use your cc. Make sure she has her shows booked and help her do the host packets. If she has not received her kit lend her anything she needs....Good Luck****************
 
Congrats on your 1st recruit, Debbie!!! :D
 
:thumbup: Congrats!!!! I'm so happy for you.
 
Congats Deb! I too just signed my very 1st recruit a few weeks ago! I sent her a mini "quick start" kit with cattys, order forms, specials, folders and some PC consultant info while she waits for her kit! Good luck! Now let's get #2 onboard for FD! :)
