A while ago, there was a flyer floating around that summarized the top 10 reasons to sign in Nov and Dec. I think it was pretty outdated, but I'd love to have something to work with to make a new, current one. Or does anyone have anything like this??? Maybe we can brainstorm to come up with a list and I can try to put something together.

My host from last night is semi-interested although is probably the BUSIEST person I've ever met. She would be great though. I thought I'd try to come up with some logical reasons why signing now is better than waiting. And I can send it to my lead list too.

Does anyone have a document/flyer like this to start us off??
 
I'd love to see this too..In the meantime, here are some ideas:1. Take advantage of the tax benefits for 2008 (can write off cost of kit, groceries, etc)
2. Have the tools she'll need for holiday entertaining and cooking... she's going to need them anyway!
3. Some of our best selling months due to holiday shopping, cooking and baking
4. Head-start on 2009 (90-day rule)
5. Our consultants average $100 commission per show... cash for Christmas?
6. Free spring product and discounted kit
 
Heres another idea. They can use the rest of this year to really learn the business and start 2009 off to a great start so they will have a better chance of earning Disney! :D
 
I am no good at flyers, but if anyone here can put that together in one I would REALLY appreciate it! I have a fence sitter or two I would love to sign THIS year!

I'm going to TRY to work on this later today. I had three shows this weekend and parent/teacher conferences this morning and kids' dentist appointments. I can't wait for Thanksgiving so I can RELAX!:):):)
 
Relax and Thanksgiving are opposites! I guess you aren't cooking at your house?! I've procrastinated and now have to try to find a turkey. I can cook one, but I don't want to. I've got to find one that is pre-done for about 20 people that won't break the bank!! Good luck to me!

Oh gosh, not compared to the last week I've had. If I was hosting Thanksgiving, it would be more relaxing than that.;) But I do have this year off. I hosted the last two years. Last year the entire in-law family blew us off and cancelled, so we decided not to involve them this year. Then my parents decided to host so we're going there. I'm still making quite a bit of food though and just bringing it.:D
