Ann that sounds great :) It will help the girls that want to stay active do more.
 
OMG Ann I love it, thanks for sharing it. I just sent it to my team.Just checking in, nothing new on my end.
 
Sue I have done too with great sucess and if you search sampling you will see what I did. If you have the guide to supporting new consultants that helps also. Ask your director :)
Good luck!

*** Update. Signed another girl AT THE SHOW Monday, which floored me, first time for that :) I also have another girl signing Friday when she gets back from Hawaii. So, my biggest issue is getting them qualified as fast as I want them too! Hee, Hee. Deb our cover girl, any tips?
4 qualified
2 signed
2 more signing
1-3 more signing in may...

Congrats Sue & Cheryl!
That's a great idea Ann!
Nothing new on my end either.....one that I thought was signing now decided to wait until summer...
 
I can't take credit for that idea, folks. Kate (cmdtrgd) suggested it to me. I just posted what I sent to my team about it.
 
Ann you can take credit for reposting it. I appreciate it, sometimes you need to see things a few times before it sinks in.Thanks Again, and thanks Kate for giving it to Ann.
 
I just found u guys-HELP!:cry:
I LOVE MY PC business! I have 2 recuits, a couple of fence-sitters and I FEEL
like I've been stuck here forever.
I have been in PC for 3.5 years and live in upstate NY. These people do not do things quickly, or spend $$$ without painfuly parting with it!
Recruting for me is like pulling teeth! Everybody tells me: your sooo GREAT at this, wow your a natural, ect! Well where is the next 5 me's!!!
I do at least 4-6shows a month and mega shows once a month. Not afriad to talk to people, although some people here are very to themselves.
I'M TRYING!!!
 
Make a mistake occassionally...it shows them you are human, and that hmmm...maybe they COULD do what you do. If they think 'wow you're a natural, '' etc... they won't think you can do it.

Are you doing the interactive shows? That puts the spotlight off you...and onto them and they can see how they really CAN do what you do!

People here don't spend money quickly either...but buying the kit isn't really spending money...they'll make it back in a show or two! then it's commission...WHY don't they get it????

Good luck...we all want to walk at Conference...and go to Dir. Academy FREE!

I signed 5 in 2007 and one this year...with several fence sitters too...I know how you feel...now my first recruit dropped off the face of the earth...and my second told me she is done...she'll be inactive at the end of April :-( So now i'll just have 4...
 
Scottishgodess,

I was born and rasied in Ballston Spa (near Saratoga). I know your feeling. I've only been with PC 1 year (today!yahoo!) but I've been stuck in the recruiting spot for a while too. I have ONE consultant 'under' me but I'm dying to make Director this summer!

So I'm with ya! I think you have great potential out there. If I hear of anything (my mom and friends are all still there) I'll let you know.

Stay Positive- it will happen. Maybe pamper a business, who knows maybe someone there wants a new job! ;)

I know what you mean...I've been in a recruiting mindset for a year & a half now; have 2 inactive recruits & several hot leads that don't want to commit. It's so hard when you want something so bad...
 
My update:

My 5th recruit qualified yesterday. :D

Yeah Sue! Way to go on making your goal!
Let's hope this new incentive will help some of the rest of us...
 
Thanks Lacy!
I need to keep it up, though! It scares me to have 5....must get 5 more now!!
 
WAHOO! Good for you :)
 
My update: I signed recruit #1 Saturday night! I am so excited!! :chef:
 
That's awesome Heather!! :D
 
WooHoo! Way to go Heather!

I have 5 signed, but 1 is inactive and 2 are yet to turn anything in! Ugh! To top it off, one of the active girls just signed her 4th and 5th last night. I know, it's awesome, and I'm happy for her! But, it's hard because I am freaking out about promoting before her now!

Thank you! Keep your head up, you can do this!
 
Congrats, Heather. Good luck, Jane! You can do it! :)

Here's my update -
2 - active & qualified
2 - inactive & reactivating
1 - new, 3 shows to qualify
1 - signing hopefully soon!

I just sent out my first cluster newsletter yesterday with the same wording from ChefAnn's regarding my desire to promote. I hope it works!
 
Ack! I need 2 more to qualify by June 1! One is going to qualify on Wednesday...I have 3 other girls on my team that are VERY close to qualifying but most likely won't before the end of the month.
 
I still need 2 more recruits. On a good note, one of the girls I recruited in February that hadn't submitted anything yet finally submitted a $1K show. So she is really close to qualifying. I have a lot of maybes, but none that are ready to sign this month. *sigh*
 
I need 2 more shows!!!! I am on pins and needles this month. It will happen (unless something catastophic happens first.) Fingers crossed people (for safety sake, just cross everything!)

Yeah Linda & Crystal! That is so exciting!
 
I dont post here often anymore but I was part of the last years road to director. As it stands right now I need one more of my 6 girls to qualify! The possibility is looking good for me to walk that stage!

Brandi; that's great news! And get back to posting here more!
 
I am right there with you Brandi!! We can do it :)
 
Bringing this thread back from the grave so I can report!

I went out of town (about 3 1/2 hours away) this weekend to do a show for my aunt & cousin and I signed a recruit! She was a guest at the party and signed up then and there!

That makes 4 for me now! Actually, it would be 5 but my first ever recruit went inactive and doesn't plan on reactivating. I am so close!
