I am looking for the "take 5" gift bag idea for possible recruits. I am in need of it soon... I have an interview tomorrow AM. Please post if you have it.
Thanks
Schel
 
When I used to do this years ago it was the video, microwave popcorn, movie size box of candy or a payday bar, bottle of Perrier & a recruiting brochure & agreement
 
I use the Take5 Candybar, the recruit brochure and the attached file which I print on PC letterhead. I then ask them to take 5 minutes and read the materials!

I couldn't find any Take 5 bars, so I tweaked this a little:

I got small bags of microwave popcorn
Individual Packet of Crystal light (add to water)
(Haven't done this yet, but would like to replace a water label with my own, to add into the bag as well...)
Your Life, Your Way DVD
A little card that says, Make yourself a cold drink, pop your popcorn, and sit back and relax while you watch what The Pampered Chef has to offer you!

Julie Welz rocks! Took me a while, but every show I am getting better at her "designing a perfect party" CD.
Recruiting tomorrow would be icing on my cake!
Thanks again!

Yeah I make my own water labels. I do them for every event I do. Baby Showers, weddings, Pampered Chef Shows and recruiting. People love them. I do the labels on photo paper. I even put the PC label on the recruiting Gift Bag.
It's cute.
 
My Take 5 Bags have the 2 opportunity brochures, a Take 5 candy bar and this paper that I came up with...........

A recommendation for Take 5 would be :

Recipe to Take 5
Make yourself a cup of tea, fill the bath, light the candle. Enjoy the kisses and take 5 minutes to learn more about the possiblility of starting your own business!

Include recruiting brochures and ingredients. Etc.

I am still lacking recruits, but of course, I really haven't been trying. I work a full time job which in the end I would like to make part time and do PC full time. :)
