My Recruiter Asked if She Could Have My Recruit.

[colegrovet]

with 1 recruit, that makes you a Senior Consultant and you get a pay raise.. so how does that not help you much? in her words...
Sign her under you...

So basically what your recruiter is telling you is...."My business is more important than your business!" Not only would I be annoyed, but you signed under her for her help and to work on building a "team". Not a very good recruit if she is selfish and is only in it for her.
Everyone always starts out with 1 recruit and builds up from there. If you worked for a corporation and was offered a promotion, why wouldn't you take it. It is Pampered Chef's decision to reward you "senior consultant status" and the perks that go with it.

Thank you all again! I did sign my SIL up. I have 6 shows booked in September, one recruit, and possibly two leads. I'm very excited. I wish I could have found another recruiter because in all honesty I'm disappointed with the lack of training and preparation she has given me. I haven't even heard from the director, I called her once since my recruiter said she had bridal shower invites I could drop by and pick them up. I called her she rushed me off the phone and said she'd leave them outside for me. She said she had 50 invites (2 packages) and when I got them, one pack was missing 10. We have a team meeting tomorrow night and I'm less than thrilled to go because although my experience with my business seems to be going well, my experience with those above me, isn't. But I'm going to at least give it a shot and see how it goes. I believe my SIL and two possible recruits will be attending as well. Thank you all for your support!

If your experience with your recruiter and your director is not going so well, go above them! There is someone in your upline who would love to help you out! Look at your commission check and see who that is.

Good for you! I hope your meeting goes well.

Jami, congrats on such a great start! You can always come here for guidance, but I agree that you can also keep going up the line to someone who will be willing to help out & give you some training!

 

[Jolie_Paradoxe]

Glad you're doing so well! Try giving your director a chance...she may have been super busy with shows, team biz, life or any combo of the 3. At your meeting, tell her your goals and that you'd like to schedule one on one calls for personalized training....or see if there's a new consultant call training in motion.

If she can't, don't be upset. Instead ask who you COULD call for that kind of training. Make friends with the consultants at the meeting and see if you click with any of them for support and resources.

Keep doing well and try not to let your recruiter's request spoil a wonderful adventure. I know, easier said than done....

Wishing you and the team continued success!

I have to say I am really DISGUSTED with her suggestion!!! As your recruiter she should be celebrating your success with you not trying to steal your thunder!!!!!! Report her to Home Office! If she is doing this to you she is doing it to others ... when doing so you could ask to be reassigned to her recruiter, do you really want to be under someone who right from the start isn't giving you the best information and treatment to start and make a success out of your business?

She really needs to remember that KARMA is not something to ignore and she will at some point get the same thoughtless behavior coming back at her.

Best wishes and good luck with your business and to your sister-in-law as well!

 

[dannyzmom]

You need to call Home Office and let them know, not only about the lack of support you're receiving from your upline, but about the lack of ethics your recruiter is using.

I give you a tip of the hat for starting your own business and holding your grand opening show!!!
and a big, BIG wag of the finger at your recruiter for this shameful request! I would recommend that you sit down, research what you will get as a Senior Consultant (hooray you almost have your first promotion!) and then call her and nicely point out what you will get with your first recruit and say you are curious why, in a leadership position, she would want to snatch this away from you? Then sit back, close your mouth and let her stutter. This is not to sound mean, it is meant to have her think through her actions and let her know that she has been "caught".

 

[sharpechef]

Wow, she has nerve. Absolutely NO! You will benefit immediately once you qualify! Good thing you asked here! Blessings on your new business! :chef:

WOW!! How Rude!! I just recruited my first consultant. She was thinking about making the plunge before her show last week. She had a GREAT show ($900+). She decided to submit her agreement yesterday.

The next thing I did was print out all the receipts in P3 from her party (on scratch paper), grab the receipts I had, the checks, cash and door prize slips and went to her house. That show is now her grand opening. She has two friends who want parties this next month. Her door prize slips had a question "If today's host decided to start their own business would you help them out by having a party?" She had three YES answers and two MABYEs. Those leads are hers. With her party, she is less than $400 away from qualifying.

Yes, I "gave away" this commission, which was a good one, but I will get it back in spades over the long time. PC is a long-term project for me. A couple hundred dollars now is piddly over what she can earn for me in the future.

Although this is a slightly older thread, I'm going to just put in my little opinion here.
Does that recruiter have any idea how to even build a team? Doesn't she know that having indirect recruits is good for her? Seems like someone needs a quick lesson in earning directorship.

hooray for you, congrats on your first consultant!this is what I would like to do. I can't wait to do something like this. What a great way to start a business and set a model for your new consultant to follow, too!

Here are the door prize slips I used. I got the intial information from someone another one but tailored it a bit. I think this will become my permanent door prize slip. I have several, but this seems to fit best. You will most likely need to rework this as I did it in an excel spreadsheet which I couldn't upload.
