Lacy, have you received the email yet? Is she on your IPT?

I got the email, but she is yet to show up on my IPT, and she signed Monday! Usually I receive like 3 emails for new recruits, and so far I've only received one.....I'm wondering if they buried in new recruit paperwork from the promotion.
On a side note, I'm still waiting on my director agreement pack. I signed my
5th consultant at the end of August, and I still haven't received it. I called HO, and even the rep said that I should've had it by now. Unfortunately, I am not a patient person so this is KILLING me!:cry: :cry:
 
Congrats on your 5th Amy!

Yeah!! I got my email this morning! Not sure why it took 3 days!
 
alright Lacy!! How many more do you need? Oh, nothing like a recruit qualifying to push you even closer to your cruise!! That is the only way i'm going to get it!
 
ummm; still need 4 more for me! She's my first; I'm working closely with 3 others right now....

great job! YOU CAN DO IT!!
I found that once I had the confidence from the first one, it was easier to keep asking. You WILL be a director if that is what you want!
 
I want to join in this trek as well. My goal is Director by December 1st. I just signed my 2nd this week. I have two other potentials I am working with -- just waiting for it to be "time".

I have increased my show schedule from 1-3 a month to 1-3 a week this year and am finding that I just have and easier time with bookings, etc being in front of more people.

Thanks for this thread -- and best wishes to everyone striving for directorship!!

this is something I have been doing with great success at recruiting. IF my host has 3 or more bookings, I tell her point blank "You NEED to do this if only for these 3 shows! Just add another show, and catalog shows count too, to fulfill your comittment to PC. Would you rather go to each of your friends show and spend $50, or be the consultant and make $100?" Now, during host coaching and before the start of the show, each host has told me no to the biz, BUT after seeing how easy it would be to start, without picking up the phone to try to get a show, they have ended up signing! I am signing my 5th consultant today, IN LESS THAN 30 DAYS!!!
Now, I'm not trying to tell you how to run your biz, but this has been working great for me. EVERY ONE of my recruits has told me "no" at some point, and several have told me no several times, BUT when I started showing them this point of view, they signed! Good luck!

I am absolutely stealing this from you! Great idea.
I currenty have 4 on my team. Two from earlier this year who have already qualified, and are pretty much hobbiest (but they stay active!) The other two caught me completely by surprise last week. One was a former consultant that was at a show and she wanted to come back so she signed with me and I gave her the booking from that show. The other was on my lead list and I wanted her BAD! She was doing a catalog show for me and then called and said you are not going to believe this....I want to do it! So I told her to keep the orders she had already gathered and that would be her first show. Now, I just have to get them all qualified and find some more.

I am having a training with my team nwebies mostly) on Saturday via conference call to go over P2 and Consultant's corner. I invited the lady who was acting like a kit napper and she sent a message that she couldn't make it at that time but would like help getting started - WHy can't SHE pick up the telephone and call me?? You ahve those popel that you always have to call them they can't call you? I offered to give her my office hours to call me and she says to give her a call after 7 p.m. now that she is back in school and has changed jobs

KWIM

Well at least she wants to learn a little more - Ofc ourse she is technically inactive her 90 days were up on 9/5 but I guess we can still get her started.

Steal away, as I'm sure I "borrowed" it too as I am not too original in anything!
And WoooHoooo on those new recruits!
I'm worried about getting all of my new ones qualified too. I have 5 to train and qualify, and I'm so scared that I'll drop the ball on one of them, but yet I don't want to be hovering over them either! What's funny, is that the ones that I thought would need the most coaching have been the go-getters, and vice versa. Something happens when the kit arrives, that's for sure!
I'm so looking foward to walking with the cheffers!!
 
I Can't believe I have missed this post until now. I have a potential I had given up on who emailed me yesterday stating she is READY! I have another who wants to sign the beginning of October, I am helping her get her bookings going now. :)
I too was so not interested in recruiting but I have been doing a Step Up to Director call each weeks and its fired me up...Just gotta keep going!

WAHOO!

What do you mean by this???
 
There is a new consultant promotion coming out that hasn't been announced yet. I started a thread yesterday just to let people now, but I guess some got upset because I wouldn't share more. Just wanted to help those that have people ready to sign not miss out on anything. I also wanted to encourage those that couldn't sign people by the 17th.
 
So, how did you find out about this? Can you give a hint?

I will delete this message in a little while (I can, right?) I'm not at liberty to say because I could get in trouble. I value chefsuccess because I've gotten some great ideas here and I couldn't keep this to myself. I have at times missed out on things "too little too late" and I didn't want it to happen to some of you who work hard. An e-mail should be sent out on Monday, because the promo starts Tues. PC wants us to be successful and attened Leadership so they are tying the promo to that. YOU will love it. Newbies will get a gift but consultants will get sooo much more. In the two years I've been with PC I have never heard of anything like this.
 
Oh, I just hate it when someone tells me "I have something great to tell you.....but I can't tell you now!"

Addie, this better be a good one or I am going to hunt you down!

That's the feeling I got from the thread I started before. I guess I didn't think it through (I'm the same way!!!) Sorry about that, but this is legit. You will be thrilled and motivated to recruit.
 
Dang! Already I'm wishing my newest recruits would've waited as I don't have any "hot" leads right now!

But as a side note, I did get my Director Agreement pack today in the mail! Yayyy! I'm on my way, just need to get them qualified!

I didn't realize you got that before they were all qualified.......ooohh, that adds extra pressure!

Actually, I don't feel pressured about the directorship part. My main goal when I signed up this year was that I wanted to earn the cruise as a second honeymoon for DH & I. So, I just want them qualify at some point before Dec 31st. Directorship has become a byproduct of working for the cruise. The only way to get it for me has been the recruiting points. Of course, now that Directorship is so close I do want it too! I'm definitely a carrot chaser!:D :D
 
Hmm...interesting...was something announced at the Executive Trip/Meeting this past week?

Probably. I've noticed that the really good recruiting incentives usually happen in the fall. When I signed 2-years ago, I just missed one :grumpy: .
