Signing up in March Versus April

[KarenMarie]

I have a friend that is signing up soon. She has 2 shows already planned for mid-April. She went to a team meeting to decide if she wanted to sign up and they talked about the new product line. I was trying to get her to sign up in March for my recruit but she really wants to wait until April. Can anyone give me some advice for how to handle this?

I wouldnt push her. If she has shows lining up for April, but not March, she will feel more successful if her first 30 days are packed with shows! She will reap the Pc benefits in those 30 days too.

She may have things going on in March, unable to get shows lined up, or whatever. At most, ask her why. Maybe it is something simple.

Then encourage her and stay in contact. I know you areprobably concerned she will not do it....but if she has shows lined up, that is a good sign. She wont miss out with the new season by waiting till April. And who knows! They may have an irresistable March recruiting incentive and she decides to sign the end of March.


Just my two cents..... I am not one to push someone to do what they are not ready or willing to do. It could backfire on me.

Personally, I would go with what is best for her - try to time it so she can maximize her New Consultant Rewards and still get her kit in time for her shows. The more she's able to earn with the New Consultant Rewards perhaps the more likely she will keep sticking with it She'll appreciate your concern for doing what is best for her.

Thanks guys! Someone else in my team had encouraged me to get her to sign up early before but I just didn't want to push her. She already made a scrapbook about why she became a consultant.

Here's what she needs to do...she has 2 shows booked for April, that's great. She needs to keep going! 2 is not enough! Have her work NOW to make calls to her list of 100, fill her calendar, then when she's a week from her 1st show, she should sign. Of course, as she's sharing her news with family & friends, she should be open to the idea of booking shows in march. Some people may not want to wait that long, and, as we've all experienced, those that book months in advance sometimes change their mind or things come up. People are more apt to know what their schedule will look like 2 or 3 weeks from now rather than 2 or 3 months from now.

You can also share numbers with her...if she had 4 shows in March, instead of waiting til April, she'd make $440 (based on $500 average), plus have $200 pc bucks to put toward new products, catalogs, whatever, AND have 2000 more points toward an incentive trip! And she'd get all the HWC products to display iin May!
