I'm soooo excited I just HAD to share with my virtual cluster! I had my third HO lead last night when I got home from work on my email. My first two since becoming an FD were one - wanted the pizza lover's set but didn't want a show and STILL wanted it $25 less than it sells for WITH shipping (gotta love those types LOL) and the second NEVER responded to my email and I have no phone number

BUT last night it was someone interested in the opportunity so I emailed her (less pressure) and introduced myself, stated I got her name from PC and they stated she was looking for information. I said I'd be happy to put a package in the mail AND speak with her by phone to answer any/all questions. I got a reply back that a package would be great (no mention of talking on the phone). So before sending it to her tonight I decided to bite the bullet and call her and stated I was driving right by her area, could I drop off the package? She stated sure, and when I went to drop it off figuring we'd chat for a minute or two and I'd leave with NO pressure and a follow up date, SHE invited me in to sit down, asked a couple of questions and then 'where do I sign?'. And I didn't bring an agreement with me!

I have an appointment at 9 tomorrow morning before I go to work at 10 so she can sign and I can give her a quick start (that my director just dropped off)

WOOHOO! I now have 3 active and 1 inactive that will not be a consultant by the end of this month (12 month inactive). I'm a little concerned about one of my other two going inactive at the end of this month since she's in the middle of a move and hasn't submitted enough and I can't reach her for the next couple of weeks while she waits to move and lives in a trailer so it's SO nice to get this third active one in case she does go inactive - I'll still have 2 active at the same time and keep my FD status. If only these 4 were all active I'd only need one more Oh well, it's gotta happen some time right? And right now I'm soooo pumped!

If you've read this far, thanks for letting me share my silly giddiness with you!
 
That's awesome Jodi!!! You gotta love those HO leads! The one I got yesterday just signed today!! Before I even met with her tomorrow. AND, today I got another HO lead regarding someone ALSO interested in the oppty. I have yet to hear back from her.

What great timing!! There must be something in the air out there where there are these potential recruits all over. We should be asking everyone if they want to consider it right now....seems to be a popular time!:D

Congratulations!
 
That is so cool! :D

I can't wait until I reach Director level so I can get leads, too. :D
 
That is fantastic. Congratulations.

But I get them now and I'm not nor have I ever been (yet!) a director. I became an FD in September and started getting leads in October. Wonder why that is?

Can any directors enlighten us as to why I get leads as an FD but she mentioned she had to be a D?
 
Maybe because you are in Canada? I know spanish speaking consultants get HO leads no matter what their title. The catch there is that they have to get their kit in Spanish....

Yes, I just looked it up and it says all FD's and D's with sales of at least $1500in 3 of the last 4 months. So it must be a Canadian thing. We however, do not get $ or catelogs when we recruit after the initial $100 and 25 catelogs for our FIRST recruit. Except of course for the overrides.

Hi Marg :)

I haven't made up my mind yet. Actually I'm trying to convince the DH that it's worth the flight, registration, hotel and misc cost. It's really hard to justify the $1000 or so. Still tryin'! I went to conference in '05 and my business FELL APART when I got home (summer, first year and all). It took 4 months to get going again and then of course Christmas and so I didn't bother going this past summer and missed it terribly. So now I REALLY want to go to Leadership but just after Christmas with all four of our birthdays from the middle of November to Christmas makes it really costly!

How about you? Are you going?
 
I'd love to go, but 3 of my recruits are now inactive and I only have 1 active one. But if I can get another one by Jan 12, I'm going!
I hear you about the birthdays - we have a ton of family birthdays in December (mine included :) ) but I'd really, really like to go. I went to Leadership last year and it was awesome.
