My Newest Consultant Has Her Kick off Show Today

Click For Summary
The discussion highlights the reluctance to attend a team event despite personal fatigue and a desire to spend time with family. However, the motivation to attend stems from a commitment to team success and the prospect of acquiring discounted Goose Island beer. The speaker notes a common practice of not attending recruits' first shows, believing it reduces pressure on the newcomers, while emphasizing the importance of training and support prior to their events. The speaker has attended some recruit shows, finding success with good sales and potential new recruits. Additionally, there is mention of a delayed response from an online recruit, indicating challenges in follow-up communication. Overall, the experience underscores the balance between personal obligations and professional commitments, alongside the varying preferences of consultants regarding attendance at recruit shows.

and I totally don't want to go. Waahh!!!! :cry:

I am tired. I am working very hard. I just don't want to do this. I want to spend my afternoon with DH and DS.

But I will go because it is for the good of my team. :) And a grocery store that is on my way is having a grand reopening and they have 12 packs of Goose Island beer for $9.99 (which is a STEAL) so I'll come home with a car load of alcohol. LOL :) That will make DH happy.
 
I hope it goes well and is worth your time!! I hope it's at least close by and you don't need to drive forever. Let us know how it goes, while you have a Goose Island Beer in hand!:)

I have to drive to Joliet near the speedway. It's not that far, but I still don't want to go! LOL! This chilly weather doesn't help!
 
GO DEB GO!!!! She'll have a great show with you there!PS: What ever happened with the guy that signed up online... the one who was doing the tv show?
 
Good Luck Deb!! (I'm trying to not go with my recruits for their first show, mine didn't and I did fine so I really try hard not to go to mine. Anyone else?)
 
I never go with my recruits but I do encourage them to attend either my or another consultant's shows to observe.

My director did not attend mine and I would not have wanted her there. If someone really wants me to be there I will go but so far they are fine with the training and tips I give them before the first one.

I think it all depends on the individual director and consultant's personalities.
 
I couldn't agree more! I definitely didn't want my recruiter there (nerves) and my girls have told me that they didn't want that pressure either. So, I'll just leave it as is!

Thanks!

Well, I went. This is the second time I've gone to my recruit's first show. Both times they were hosting their own first show, which I think is hard to be both host and consultant, so it works for me. It is the way our NED teaches to do it. That way I can be the one doing the recruiting and booking talk.There were four people there and sales are at least $150 (yay!) and 1-2 bookings and ONE RECRUIT LEAD who will most likely sign by the end of the month! So it all worked out.As for the man who signed online, I keep leaving messages and he never calls me back. He did respond to a few of my emails and is supposed to be helping me with a fair on May 18th. His 30 days is over so we'll see.....
 
At least it qualifies as a show!!
