I just wanted to share with someone. I got home from work today and had a message on my answering machine from a lady that was at a show I did over a year ago. She wants to sign up to sell PC and called me to help her through the sign up and to sign under me. I can't believe it! This totally teaches me a lesson about making sure I talk about recruiting at every show and even if no one is interested then, that doesn't mean that someone may not come back to you later.

I called my PC consultant a year after my show to ask to sign under her. My consultant before her had never asked me...surprisingly enough.
But she did ask, told me I'd be great at this....I thought I would too, but didn't have the time. Once I had the time, I called her up.
Had she not asked, I never would have thought about doing it.
Just keep planting the seeds and your garden will grow!

I emailed my consultant almost 1 1/2 after my show to ask her to tell me more about the business opportunity and to answer my *many* questions! I don't specifically remember her talking about the business opportunity, but she must have or something I read planted a small seed that started to grow as the need for extra money and a flexible schedule arose! So...talk about the business opportunity and wait for God's timing! He knows when it is right for you, for your recruit, and when it is in His timing!
