I have a friend of my mother-in-law who was
really interested in signing up. He is a male in his 40's, lives alone several hours from his family and his one female friends down there turned him a away and tried to talk him out of it.

He is worried that he doesn't have any other party leads as he doesn't know that many other people in his area.

As a man, who doens't have a hair dresser, friends of his kids, isn't involved in a church, any unique ideas to find parties?

Thanks to all. I just signed up and am dying to get a recruit!

Have him Pampered a local business. Maye his bank is a good place to start.
 
Find vendor events or farmer's markets he can set up a table.
 
Is he working? How about co-workers?

Also, out of town friends and family can help with catalog parties.
 
He must have neighbours... friends in the area...don't have to be females...he could host his own party with friends who would bring friends and so on... my family is 2 hours away an that is still where I get most of my shows and it is well worth the trip with shows averaging over $1,000.00 that way. After little over a year, I have 11 kilo shows. He could always give it a try!!! However, you should be concern about him doing well, not being a recruiter!
