I had to do some convincing that she will do great. She wanted to watch me do her show and take notes and see what I do....I told her that she is such a natural at this, and besides, no two consultants do their shows the same way, so she doesn't need to feel like her show has to be like mine.

My director and I have been discussing a bit why my recruiting and new recruits just don't seem to do well. I do hear a lot that they don't think they can do what I do - and this recruit has had those fears......she said to me today that she's not sure she can make her shows as much fun as my shows......so I had to get her past what my shows are like, and help her focus on what she will do well. Once we were able to do that, and I was able to let her know about all of the training that is available - she was ready to just sign!
 
That's awesome Becky! With you as her coach she'll do great!
 
Good Job Becky, I just recently signed another girl last week and her kit will be here today and we are going to go over and she is excited to get started I think she will do fine I know she is worried a bit about it too but I don't think she will have any issues.

I know she hasn't gotten any shows scheduled yet but she is really putting the word out there which is just as good and I know a couple of people who say they will have a show for her.
 
are you all sitting down???

Ok~you are all aware of my drama with relinguishment....August is month #3 and not only do I have to add 3 team members, I have to have the $4000 as well............

thanks to many of you, I have been motivated to really talk about our opportunity at my shows and decided that it is MY job to change my team (or grow it, in this case!).

Here is the sitting down part......I have 3 new team members and they have all basically fallen in my lap! Two were HO leads, both said they weren't ready yet but the 50% rebate got their attention! The other is from a show last week~she liked the way I did business!

Can you believe this? I am still in a state of shock as most of this happened today! I am not stopping now! Wouldn't it be cool to have the Dream Patrol visit???!!!!!
 
Becky!!! I am soooo excited and happy for you!!

So far today I made a contact at Wal-mart. Unfortunately she wouldn't give me her info, but she asked for mine. I also just received a HO lead, but there is no phone number********sigh******

Getting ready for my "shopping" trip!
 
Amy, glad to see your mood is "daring"....please call or pm or email me tonight and let me know how it goes!!!!!!!!!!
I can't "shop" tomorrow at CTC, but I am SO going Wednesday! CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Meg, please share the secret to HO Leads. I have only had 2 that ever signed, and both have been kitnappers. The others never give their numbers and NO response to email or snail mail.
 
Yeah Meg! Way to go!!!!

Thanks Tony....umm, I mean Alison!

It is a great day....especially because there were both women who have been telling me for FOREVER that they wanted to sign! Don't give up!
 
Becky thanks for the chuckle... don't know why I said that - maybe because I had just worked out so I can blame those endorphins... yeah, that's it... :rolleyes:














... or I am just a big dork... :D:p:D
 
Yay! for Becky and Meg's recruits.

To amy07 - not that I've ever had a home office lead, but I have been one. My advice to you would be just be nice and treat them kindly. Ask what info they would like to have and give it to them. If they say don't call because they changed their mind, then don't call but reply with a "let me know if you change your mind. Is it okay if I send you information whenever there is a signing incentive?" If the lead isn't solid don't sound disappointed. Sound like you get these calls every day and you're glad to help. Take it from someone who knows what it's like to have a director get really rude because I changed my mind about becoming a consultant after I asked for info. He was almost mad that I ever asked. If he would have been nice and helpful, I would have called him two years later when I decided the time was right.

Count me in! I am totally a nerd! A very fashionable, friendly nerd; but a nerd none-the-less! :D
 
Okay today at the bank the teller asked me for a book for her ds. I didn't get contact info but I practically live at that bank.

Then I got a "maybe" September booking lead today. She is moving but not sure what day so that's why it's a maybe. She wants to do it but can't set a date yet.

I have bunco tonight and have to host coach a gal there. I am hoping that I can get some contacts in there too. Two of the girls there have been interested in signing at one time or another. I will offer them this other girls show if they are ready.

My problem with HO leads is that I NEVER get a phone number!!! IF I could talk to them I could take the "no", but it's the lack of information and feedback that drives me crazy. It's like things are out there in limbo, and I don't like that. I'm always afraid it'll be the one who signs with someone else that says, "well, she didn't stay on me"

Left 2 more messages for recruit leads.....booked a September Game Day Show!, and left a couple more messages for people who want to book in Sept. but didn't give me a firm date.

All in all, a pretty good day!:D
 
well, I did my "shopping" trip tonight. Only was able to get information from one person. The others either wouldn't give it to me, or already had a Consultant. But atleast I tried. I always tell my team that I would never ask/suggest them to try something that I wouldn't do myself. Guess I'll be suggesting shopping trips again.

also, this was NOT a good night or a good mall. Most of the employees were teenagers. and the customers were mothers with kids in tow doing back to schoool shopping. They were sooo not in the mood to talk about PC. LOL

On a good note, a bridal shoppe allowed me to put out some postcards I made for registries.
