Ok, I need advise

On the bookings thread I talked about how I was venturing out to Myspace and trying to find people that would be interested in doing pc.

Surprisingly enough I have three recruit leads!!! Three people have emailed me back asking for more info.

WHAT DO I SAY?!?!?!?!?!?

AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

I need to double my team before conference as a personal goal, and this would totally help me on my way, but I am so nervous not to 'THROW UP' on these people and scare them off!!!!

HELP!
 
Just ask them why they are interested and then offer to meet with them.

Answer their questions simply and then SHUT UP!!
 
I agree with Debbie, ask people why they are interested, what their concerns might be, and then listen carefully to their responses.

I just PM'd you...
 
how did you venture onto myspace to do this? I thought it was against policy to talk about your business on different websites? how did you word your "venture" ? i'd really like to know
 
Did you notice the latest weekly bites specifically says "MySpace"? Someone must have reported something.

I have mentioned my business on myspace, but I never mention the PC name. I say I am a business that sells/demonstrates quality kitchen tools...or something similar...and I say if you are interested in information let me know and I will email you my latest newsletter. you can't say The Pampered Chef and you can't post your website or product pictures. You have to just "tease" them with information.
