My Director called from Chicago today to tell me something that happened at her Career Club lunch.......

she was sitting with 2 women that had each had 150 Career Recruits in 10 years....that is 15 a year!!!! :eek:

When asked how they did it, this was their response:

Both of them invite her Hosts to join the business and has their first show be the show she was going to do for them....she host coaches them as if they were still the host (this helps with training), she shows them how to do the recipe and has them demo it at the show, and they get all of the commission and bookings from this show! They are so excited!
They close the show that night and any outside orders then go toward becoming subsequent Catalog Shows!!!!
Can you imagine being that new consultant??? Imagine the excitement from getting qualified and PAID that fast!

I can't wait for my Director to get home so that I can get all of the particulars!!!!
 
I'm so doing this tomorrow night at my show!!!!!!!!Thanks for sharing!
