Overcome Your Fear of Calling Former Recruits: Ideas Here!

[krzymomof4]

My director gave me a list of my former recruits leads. I need to get off my duff and call them, but I am at a loss for words as to what to say.
Any ideas?

Hi I'm ______. I worked with ___________ and she isn't with TPC anymore. I wanted to just let you know that I would love to help you with anything you might need. She mentioned that you had interest in our business. Is that something you'd still like to learn more about? Is there anything else? Can I add you to my email newsletter list? When would it be reasonable to check back with you?

...not all in one breath. Let her lead the conversation after your intro and go from there.

You could call and let them know you are following up. Something like this....

Hi, this is _________, your Pampered Chef Consultant. Do you have a few minutes to talk? I know that awhile ago we talked about your interest in becoming a Pampered Chef Consultant. I know that before may not have been a good time to start, but maybe now is?

Or you could try... I was calling to see if there is any way I can help you? Go on to explain the July host special.....

Let the conversation go from there.

Just some thoughts.

These are people that had shows for her, not interested in the business.

Sorry I mis read what you wrote. I would go with something along the lines of what Beth said. I would change the part about interested in the business to... I was calling to see if there was any way I could service you. We have a great host special coming up in _______.

HTH. :chef:

Right. I misread too. Just change the wording to fit the situation. Make it a customer service call. Tell her that you are taking over for their consultant who is no longer with TPC and wanted to give her your information in case she needs anything. Ask how she is like her products. Does she need tips? Recipes? Interested in a show any time? See what she will want from you and go from there.

Some will be so glad you called and others will be like go away. That's okay too. Now you know.

Thanks for the advice. I just didn't want to seem like a car chasing lawyer

Just find the words that work for you, to let them know that you are at her service and a source of information for hosting, specials, mailings, etc.
