Anyone have consultants reactivate for the fall?I have had 3- I hope they keep it going!
 
I had 2 in October!!!:D
 
1 reactivated this month with 2 shows!

She works at Chrysler here and they are laying off 1600 people today.... hope she's not one of them!
 
Is there anything in particular you, as directors, ase saying to or doing with/for these consultants to get them going again?
 
Can't say that I have. I keep them in the email loop and try to make a phone call here and there but you just never know what they'll do!
 
I have 2 who reactivated in October and 1, possibly 2, that are planning to reactivate in November (both have scheduled shows so that is always a good sign).

I think the key is to always keep them in your communication loop just like they WERE active.

And, when I have someone reactivate, it is a big recognition feature in my newsletter. I also always have some type of tag line for the inactives to feel comfortable contacting me on how to restart their biz if needed. I do try to call each inactive once a quarter to check in by phone.

A few of the reactivated gals I have good hopes that they'll stay active...the other two, I'm thinking they'll just give it a whirl for holiday money.

Can you post your tagline for them to recontact you? Great idea!
