New Year....new Road to Director! Who's Walkin' That Road?

[Christ Follower]

Okay girls I signed #4 on Thursday! She wanted the knives so I am not sure that she will continue once she has them but at least it'll be points for me. Unfortunately one went inactive when she didn't submit anything on Friday. So 3 active and 1 inactive. At least I am getting closer!

 

[ChefNic]

I signed another #5 on Friday...
by another #5 I mean, I have one inactive, so this would be #6 if the one girl wasn't inactive.
I'd love for her to come back...and ya never know she may!?!?!

My newest recruit has been wanting to do this for a couple years..now is a good time...and she can't wait to get the knives!

I hope to see you all at New Director Academy in Chicago!

Gotta keep looking for that next recruit!

 

[lacychef]

Congrats girls!

 

[pamperedalf]

You girls are on fire!!!!!Okay the other day when we had a meeting w/ our SED, she said Jean Jonas told her that the speaker for the Directors training is the best. So we all are going to promote and attend our first Director Training!!

 

[sarahlegare]

I want this so bad! I'm finally stepping out of my comfort zone & really focusing on recruiting! I'm signing #3 today, but I gotta get them all qualified! Plus I have 3-4 fence sitters....I like the "you're not marrying the company" line too! It got my 3rd & now she's ready!!

 

[lacychef]

So we all are going to promote and attend our first Director Training!!

Definately!:thumbup:
I was proud of myself last night during host coaching call with my host for Saturday; I actually asked if she's thought about this.....well, she sells longaberger & doesn't really have time for that-so she's not interested right now, but hey I asked

 

[pamperedalf]

Lacy I have tried calling my host last night to ask her, and she didn't answer her phone.I started free shipping for every person that I don't ask to host a show or if they would like more info on the biz.

 

[pamperedalf]

Okay Lacy you would be so proud of me, I asked my host!!! But she was a firm no, oh well off to the next host.

 

[sarahlegare]

Hey Amanda~Great job asking your host! That's 1/2 the battle right there. Plus, it's a numbers game. So if you ask NOONE, chances are you're not gonna recruit. If you ask 10 people, chances are MUCH better!! Congrats on asking!!

 

[lacychef]

Yeah Amanda!
You know, I've thought about offering something free like that too.....free shipping if I don't ask them to host or about the biz. How has it worked for you? I'm sure it would make you remember to ask; plus then they are expecting it. Kinda like at Sonic, they always ask if you want something else, even if you're just getting a drink.

 

[pamperedalf]

I haven't given away free shipping yet. I have had a couple people go man I wanted free shipping. I think because I have said it out loud I am holding myself more accountable.

I have 1 new consultant who qualified in her first 30 days, and she's joined me in our step up to director class!

I have 1 who went inactive, but is getting a show together for this month.

1 who is inactive and needs to put a show in by the end of March.

In the last 3 years I have recruited 8, but keeping them is another thing.

I'm hoping with the step up to director class, and my increase in shows, I will see more people to introduce the business too. I'm expanding into the hispanic market to invite others onto my team.

 

[jewls243]

very hesitant on what to do...Hello ladies,

I know I am joining this thread a little late...Here is what I have though.

9 recruits total=
4 that are active and qualified
3 that are qualified but not active...but will be in the next few weeks hopefully
2 that are not qualified and havent doen anything since they signed at the end of December

I would really like to accept directorship by the end of next month, but I am afraid of doing it on shaky ground and not being solid.
My upline director keeps telling me that I will be fine if I accept and not too worry about it so much.
But I have worked so hard, I would hate to lose it all.
Anyways... I know that I will be walking across that stage in July, I am bound and determined!
I love this forum....I get so motivated when I get on here!:sing:
Let do it!

 

[lacychef]

You are SO close! Congrats! I have heard that it's easier to keep directorship than it is to get it; but I plan on waiting till I have 6 or 7 active/qualified. (I think!)

 

[pamperedpatty]

Hi Ladies.

Okay I am here;
3 active and qualified.
2 inactive.
1 just joined 1 week ago and is working on qualifying.
3 on the fence-1 might be on our side this week.

I am so excited because here in Quebec there are only two directors!

 

[Christ Follower]

Well looks like I am back down to 3 again. My first recruit that went inactive has just informed me that she has no intention of becoming active again.

I guess if there is a silver lining, it is that she is giving me her catalogs and now I have some of her contacts. Maybe some good will come of this.

I better get busy recruiting...lol....easier said than done!

 

[janezapchef]

Hi Ladies,
I guess I should officially join in here since I've been reading along since this started.
I have 2 signed, qualified and active, 1 just signed, 1 qualified but inactive and VERY undependable. Then, I have three on the fence. Also, my 2 actives are not afraid to recruit. One of them is doing a step up class alongside me, which is great, and she has three consultants as well. Can't wait to walk the stage with all of you in July! (Well, at least those of you who are wave 1Jane

 

[heather223]

I am also late in joining this thread! I am going to work my butt off to become a director this year. I want to be a Future by conference.

I like the suggestion of Free Shipping for anyone I don't ask to host. (Baby steps to the big picture!) :chef:

I don't even want to admit this: I have 0 signed! 0 Inactive! 1 Interested!

 

[lacychef]

It's okay Heather--you gotta start somewhere! And wanting it is the start...

 

[heather223]

It's okay Heather--you gotta start somewhere! And wanting it is the start...

Thanks ! :chef:

 

[lockhartkitchen]

I had two who wanted my business opportunity bags at a show tonight! We spent more than 30 minutes "interviewing" each other. They asked a lot of good questions. One is ready to sign now, but doesn't have the $$ . She's going to see if her mom will loan it to her. I talk to her Friday.
* 1 active/qualified
* 1 inactive/qualified
* 2 possible

 

[smile10308]

Hey Everyone!

I have been reading through and I thought I should jump in. I am so excited I have 6 active and only 1 who is qualified. 3 signed last month though so they are well on their way. Anyone have a recommendation as to how to get these girls qualified by March 31st so I can promote April 1st?

PS Sorry if I stole the thread

 

[chefann]

Never underestimate the power of a bribe... er, incentive, to qualify within 30 days. They'll earn extra PC$ for doing that, but you can sweeten the pot by offering a tote bag or some other thing they can use for their business.

 

[janezapchef]

Did they sign under the knife incentive? If so, that should be quite the push right there! Just emphasize that they will get so much more free plus the PC $ by doing it in 30 days.

 

[PamperedK]

I'm having the same problem with getting people to qualify in 30 days. I recruited 4 people in February and only 1 will qualify within the 30 days. The knives aren't really helping for some reason.

 

[Brandi2007]

I dont post here often but I was on a lot on the original road to director. I recruited 3 last month! That makes a team of 6 for me. Once I qualify last months girls I will be able to call myself director! Meanwhile of course I am still working on recruiting. I have 3 leads that I am working with over the weekend and of course the fence sitters that are always there and anyone new that I meet at these next two shows!

 

[lacychef]

Brandi---that is AWESOME!! 3 in one month--you go girl! Now get them girls qualified Update us when you do!

 

[lacychef]

Got a girl signing this week! She's been thinking about it since January; I came home to a message yesterday saying she wants to sign She was going to talk to her family at their get-together today to get some shows booked:thumbup:

 

[pamperedalf]

Brandi~awesome!!!Lacy~Sweet, it is so nice to come home to those messages.Okay ladies I just had an aha moment. I have been listening to the sell the dream CD (it's a good one), and realized I am not in front of enough people to recruit consistantly. So I need to book more shows. So my April sucks right now. I have 1 catalog, 1 live & 2 lrg fairs. I just signed in for the 3 contacts a day thread hoping that will make me more accountable. Then I realized I haven't checked in here in a while.

 

[lacychef]

I'll have to get that CD.
I know what you mean about the shows; I'm back to getting closer to 8 shows/month. I have 7 right now for April & I just did a ladies fair & an expo so I've got lots of leads to follow up with. I'm determined to do 5 contacts/day this week!
