Does anyone have any starter kit recipes I can give to my two new girls?
I looked in the files section and there wasn't anything there...
Thanks!
 
I think they get a fall SB in their starter kit, so you could point out to them that the last recipe in each category is made with items just from the kit. I'll see if I can put together a few other recipes into a document for you if I have time today. Another thing you could do is just print off recipes from CC and hand those out to new recruits, or tell them how to do it so they can find things in the future. HTH! :) (Congrats on the two new recruits! :) )
 
Actually, the last 2 recipes in each section are kit recipes. So that's 6 right there!There are also demo cards for a couple (I think 3-cheese garden pizza and something else) included in the kit.As fun as it is to offer lots of options to entice hosts, I find that it's better for new consultants to focus on 1 or 2 recipes so that they don't have to think about that part of their presentation. When they're not focused on the nuts and bolts of the recipe, they can talk about the tools, host program, and recruiting.
 
There are 3 recipes that come in the starter kit -

Appetizer - Elegant Artichoke Cups
Entree - 3 Cheese Garden Pizza
Dessert - Strawberry Amaretto Pastries

I think they are all on CC, aren't they?


And yes - if you look on CC under SB recipes...the last 2 of each section in all of the SB use only starter kit products...so, I think there are 6 SB listed on CC right now....check out all of the recipes in those.
 
there are three recipes in the kit plus 6 more in the Season's Best.
 
When I was a new consultant (oh so long ago....:rolleyes:, back in Jan) I found I enjoyed the 3 cheese garden pizza...and so did my hosts! :) It was nice to be able to not have to focus on a new recipe, but get comfortable doing my shows and in front of people (plus talking about tools, host program, etc).

Less stress that way, kwim?

They are really nice! I have encourage all of my team to use them. They help keep you on track and keep you from forgetting important points....they have the demo written step by step - including places to talk about bookings, etc....they are very nicely done.
 
They're on the Printable Materials CD that comes in the changeover box at season change, as well as in the Downloads area on CC. That way, anyone can use them (or replace a set that was ruined).

LOL
that should tell you how thoroughly I go through my changeover kits, are you talking about the page size recipes? I thought they were like little recipe cards or something, I do know about the big page size recipes and the steps for them.
 
They go into the business guide. so they do print on regular size pages. But they're marked to be cut into smaller sections (4x6 or 5x7, I think).
