I just signed someone at my show tonight:woohoo: Yeah for Spring Launch!!! She wants to make this her full time job so we started talking tonight about building a team and she went home and recruited her adult daughter(who I have never met) The only problem is the daughter has a child and something happened between her and the dad and she is now living at home. That means she can't sign under her mom right? I told them she could still sign under me but I feel really bad because this isn't my recruit:bugeye: Any suggestions? What would you do? Thanks.

Congrats girl! In Wendy's instance, the garage apartment probably had a different mailing address.Unfortunately, you are right. If they live in the same household, they aren't supposed to sign under someone else in the same house. We just had that occur in my downline. A hubby signed under his wife. I called Career Solutions to confirm and they said they would have caught it on their weekly printout and e-mailed them both. They gave him the option of resigning, but he's still on the roster, almost 90 days later. Not sure what they are going to do with him. He never submitted anything ... he's just sitting there as a consultant on her team.

I don't get why a spouse would sign anyway. I would think they'd be much more successful doing it together. Of course at shows the one who signs would have to be the demo person for liability reasons but otherwise it would be taking away from each other. Now a different relative or a friend staying with someone to get on their feet is another story. It's the rule so it is what it is but I think it should be allowed.
