Potential Recruit Thinking of Doing Candles Instead!!

[sarahlegare]

Hi everyone! I have a potenial recruit who is interested in selling PC, but is also toying with the idea of making & selling Soy candles. I've made candles in the past & it's a pain in the rear!!! Her hubby thinks she should do PC, but is supportive of her in whatever she ends up doing....Anyway, I don't want to come across as mean, but I KNOW PC could make her more $$ & just be a better fit for her! How can I make her see that?? I'm doing a show for her on Sat. & it's going to be interactive, making the Warm Nutty Caramel Brownies!
Thanks in advance for all your awesome advice!! :love:

Why can't she do both?

Keep her on your list, if the candle business doesn't work for her maybe she'll give PC a try.

I agree with last poster. She could do both. Hmm, maybe break it down for her something like this- That she should give PC a try. Give her the amt she will put into the business (155 starter kit) and tell her to just do her first 6 shows to qualify. Breakdown what her income would be with an average show of $400.00 and the first 6 shows. Show her the profit, and tell her that if she does PC first, does her first 4 shows, she could use the income to put towards starting the candles. Maybe she will be so in love with PC that she will just keep going and not move on to the candles. Be positive about the candle thing and look at as if that is her "dream" job, than PC can help her purchase the tools to do that. Good Luck!

Thanks Melissa & Linda!! I think I will encourage her to do both!! I'm sure she'll make more doing PC!!

Hi there,
I'm attaching a worksheet I have that could be really helpful for anyone considering two direct sales companies OR someone who's thinking of adding to one that they're already doing. It'll help her compare. I can't imagine that a soy candle company has as strong a history, a background and a following as PC. I'm not too familiar with those companies, but I thought I'd attach this. Have her go through this and maybe you can even do it with her. Hopefully it'll help her compare and contrast....

Thanks Becky. I really like that form.

Thanks Becky, I just saved that so I can use it myself... Recruiting has not been something I have really tried but with that spreadsheet, it will definantly give me more confidence.

 

[sarahlegare]

There are a lot of great questions on that form Becky!! It's so obvious for us that PC is the best!!!!!!! I think her selling soy candles would be just her doing it, but I'm not sure. Like she would purchase everything to make the candles & have to somehow sell them. Not sure if she'd offer home parties or what. IMHO, it's alot of time & investment for what??!! Who knows what kind of a return she will make! I'll definately encourage her to sign on with PC, earn some $$ and then purchase some of the candle making stuff & see how that goes (while still doing PC). I'm willing to bet she'll see that with PC, you know you'll definately make some sort of commission for every party, even catalog shows!! Wish me luck!

 

[pamperedbecky]

wow, that sounds like a lot of work. To each her own, I guess!!

I'm glad you guys find this worksheet helpful. My director sent it to me and I think it's really helpful. Borrow away, everyone!

You're welcome!

I like that, Becky! But you forgot Exec. Director in the list of management levels.

Oops. When I looked at the document again after posting it, I actually went back in and also corrected the NSED that they used to call what is now NED. Like I said, I got it from my director and didn't catch all the "oopses." I did just go in and change it again, so here's the new version with the Executive Director added...

Ok so I really like that sheet Becky but saw a few things I did not know about...... We have a Kit return policy? We offer a savings and investment plan?

hmmm......

 

[pamperedbecky]

I don't know much about the savings and investment plan, but if you go to CC and go under "Managing your Business" then "Pampered Perks" the first option is the consultant investment program and it talks about it there.

As for returing the kit, if your agreement is terminated, the company will refund 90% of the purchase price to the consultant of any unused and resaleable product samples or "inventory" purchased within the previous 12 months.

 

[etteluap70PC]

Terminated..... Like if HO were to terminate a contract? What if someone got the kit and changed their mind and wanted to return it? (I know the kitnappers usually just keep it but there are honest people out there)

Sory... I know I am playing devils advocate here.....

You know, I"m not sure how it works the other way around. I just know that if HO terminates someone's agreement, this applies to them. I know because I had a consultant on my team who was terminated. I would guess it may apply the other way around because item B. 7. on the Consultant Agreement says "Upon termination of this Agreement, Company will refund to Consultant 90 percent of Consultant's purchase....blah blah blah." I guess that's a question for the home office just to be sure.
