I was having a bad day today, but I sucked it up and did some host coaching tonight. I always ask my hosts about the business opportunity. Tonight's host told me she is intrigued!

I included the recruiting DVD in my packets this month and she said she watched it.

YEEEEHAWWWW!

She wants to talk more at her show. She is also bilingual, so this is huge. At the show I met her, I told her there was an untapped market out there. That was in November, so this one's been thinking. :)
 
That's awesome Debbie!!! Way to go!

By the way...I LOVE your quote. That's exactly why I started PC...to overcome my extreme shyness and really just challenge myself to see if I could do it. And I learned how to cook in the process.:)

I got my quote in an email from The Success Factory, which is a great direct sales resource.

I thought it was just so appropriate--lots of Cheffers have fears--fears of making calls, fears of recruiting, fears of talking in front of people.

And look at you! You were filmed by a PC camera crew and snippets of your show were shown on the big screen at Leadership! You've come a long way, baby! :)

Awww, thanks! Yes, I look back at life pre-PC and just can't believe it. I can't imagine life without it!!:D
 
Deb - if she is bilingual, look into signing her as a Spanish consultant. I have been told (but have not verified with HO) that ALL Spanish consultants that are active get leads - they don't have to be directors!

Kate, I definitely will. One of my sister consultants is in the Hispanic market and she told us that anyone who is bilingual should sign under the Hispanic market even if they don't plan to do any Spanish shows.

I have another bilingual gal on my team and the HO just tested her Spanish skills, so I think she's switching over. It will be very good for her!
 
That's awesome Deb! :D :D

When I signed my newest last week, she checked off that she also speaks spanish and as far as I know, she's the only one! So she may get leads from her website which she just got!!!!:D

We are neck in neck, aren't we?:p

Hey, thanks for switching the Alcatraz tour also! I can't wait to hang out on Saturday morning with you in CALIFORNIA!!!!:D
