I'm excited that I girl I met at the festival I did this past weekend is coming to my house today to sign her consultant agreement BUT.... my recruiter is on vacation and I can't get a hold od my director! This is my first recruit and she saw me at the grocery store today and said she's ready to get started. I don't know what to do know! She has her four shows lined up and I know I have to do the agreement but what if she isn't paying with a credit card how do I send it in? Do I give her anything? I'm confused and excited! If anyone could help I would appreciate it!
 
breathe---Ask her if she has any ?s---Answer them---let her submit on line--and start taking the classes PC set up for us--on line--Make sure her dates are within the 30 days---she should have a little buffer--for re-sched.Congrats

Will she get her consultant # right away so she can take the classes?


Isn't it funny as soon as she said she wanted to sign I went into the I don't know what I'm doing mode! LOL!
 
If she's not paying with a credit card, follow the instructions on the agreement (check should be payable to PC, copy to her, one for your Director, etc.). But the easiest way is to have her fill it out online, even if she uses your computer to do so.
 
She'll get her consultant number in a day or 2.

Will she get her number via e-mail then?
Sorry for all the questions I just don't want to look stupid when she comes over!
 
Yes, she'll get a welcome email, as long as she includes an email address when she signs.
 
Great job on the recruit! I want one ;)
