Hi... I am meeting with a recruit tomorrow who is going to bring cash for her kit. How do I do this? Is it ok if I put it on one of my charge cards?
 
Yes. I have done that before. She gave me the cash and I put it on my charge card. Good Luck, Kristi
 
Great Job Ann! Ok, I think I'm going to take your lead and "forget about recruiting", cause look what happened when you totally relaxed! Was this the waitress?
 
Totally put it on your card, as long as you are paid in advance. Way to go!! Congrats on the new recruit!!

I guess there is something to be said about giving up. You certainly lower your expectations. LOL

This is a past host, who had said to be back in NOVEMBER that she wanted to sign after her baby was born. So, I just kep in touch with her.

Maybe they could split this into two topics--Anne's "Give Up" strategy & Gillian's "Recruit hosts so you don't have to do their show" strategy! Either one would probably work better than what I'm doing now!

Great job, Ann! But, that's not giving up -- that's following up!

Let's see...

I have 5 total, but 4 are inactive. One I don't see coming back--too flaky, another moved, but may pick it up again at some point, the third is submitting a catty show this month, number 4 is going through a tough time at work, and isn't really doing anything else just yet, and #5 has at least 9 shows dated. WOW!

I have a couple of other that I'm talking to, but we'll see...
