I gave her the orders. She was planning to use kit credit, but when I sat down with her after everyone left and showed her the math and what the commission was and she realized that she could be the host and consultant - she was sold! It wasn't a big show either - 3 guests, 2 bookings and $200 in sales (2 outside orders).

She is on a roll to - already downloaded p3, took the tutorial, started online training, opened her bank acct, applied for her debit card and direct deposit....all this before lunch today! I think I love her :love0010:
 
Wow! She's ready!! How cool for you?!? Hopefully she'll have her first recruit in her first 30 days, too!! Way to grow!
 
Way to go LIn! CONGRATS!

Holy Cow! She's motivated to get this going!!! Good for her! :D I hope she does very well in her first 30 days and that it rolls over through her first 90 days and into 2011!

Did you tell her about the list of 100? At her speed, she'll probably have that sucker done in 20 minutes! LOL
 
Linda, I am SO happy for you! I have found new blood in my team and I am having fun watching this woman take the ball and run. $3600 and 4 shows in her first 30 days. One being a $1600 one! We are working on recruiting as well! I am looking for my next director and my sights are on her.

Keep that great motivation going!!:party:
 
Congrats, Linda!!! This is wonderful news!!!!

Yeah, Ruthie...where have you been hiding?
 
Yeah, Ruthie -- miss you!!
 
Awww...I missed you all too! Not really hiding, just haven't had a lot of time to get on here and post. My oldest daughter and her 3 small kiddos (5,4 and 2 1/2) have been living with us since June. It's been a huge adjustment and just trying to keep my business strong has been challenging. Things are better now and everyone has adjusted, for the most part. I'll be on more and will post more, promise :o:).
Janice, I'll see you Monday :D!
