Okay, I am sooooooo excited!!! I am talking to my second recruit. They have both popped up in less than a week!! The first one signed last week, she is all set. This second one is quite a ways from me, obviously. I want to be able to help her as much as possible, but there's only so much I can do from across the pond.

I need a great director/cluster to get this girl into as a hospitality!! She is very familiar with Direct Sales in general. She was a Celebrations by Lillian Vernon rep, but since they are going out of business she is going to take on two more companies. She is also a rep for Passion Parties. The two that she is taking on right now are Tupperware and PC. She is a single mom to two boys, one is 4 and the other is a newborn. I think the baby is about 2 months old.

Anyway, she is pretty familiar with most stuff. She is very busy with the kids and the other businesses. But I just want to be sure to give her all of the opportunities that I didn't get!! I guess this is why it's taken me nearly 4 years to recruit!!! So if you have a great cluster that won't mind one more, please let me know!!

TIA
 
Whereabouts in NH is she? I have a great director in Nashua, NH.

Thanks, Liz!! I knew who ya were, I am not that close to losing it yet!!! I just hope they can both get qualified and going strong!!
I don't have to worry about them 'not-signing' but the fire may not be going as strong after some time. I just need to make sure that I can keep that fire under their butts!!! The first has already signed and is going strong, the second will sign in a couple of weeks. I know they won't back out on me, which is a great reassurance!!!

Okay so I have found out that she is near Greenfield, Northfield, Brattleboro, and somewhere near Mass. and VT. She is right near the Pisgah State Park. I am looking at a Mapquest map of the area.

I know where Keene is. It's about an hour or so away from me. I will do some snooping around here to find out if there is another director closer and will get back to you.

Hi Stephanie!

No, I am not the only cheffer in NH on this board. If it is OK with you I am going to send my director your e-mail address and have her get in touch with you regarding hospitality.
 
I just e-mailed you Stephanie.
