I had a potential recruit who was interested late last year. I mean this lady was SO interested & excited. At the show she was at she asked a ton of questions and started making a list of people to have a show. She eventually told me she was pregnant and wanted to wait. I have mailed her items over the months and got in touch after the baby was born. She said wait till summer.

I recently talked with her again and she booked a show & started asking a little bit about the business again. She eventually said to me "Now what are the reasons I would want to do this?" I told her about the money, earning free products, free time from the children, etc etc. But I have say, I felt a little a odd thinking ok I don't remember what attracted her and felt like I was hearing myself saying to her "blah, blah, blah". I thought to myself careful, don't spew too much to her.

I told her I would send her a new DVD we have and thought I had a flyer that gave good reasons to have PC as your business. I had one but wanted more. .. . better. I searched the files on here and found 2 fliers. I have used info from both of them and updated it. I thought I would post it in case anyone else wanted to use it.

Any suggestions? Changes?

Note: I take no ownership to this file, I just updated it and changed a little to fit me.

With my shows in August I am already going to start building the dream about paying for Christmas and the Holiday with cash rather than the credit card.
 
That is a cool idea... I have some potential recruits that I am going to send that in a little packet that I am putting together for them.
 
This looks great!!

Two things though:

The kit is $155 (plus tax) and is valued at $500 (I know you are probably adding in the bag and business supplies but PC says it's $500 and people will catch that. :rolleyes: )

You state you can sell everywhere - we are limited to the United States (many have people in Canada and even Europe so I'd be more specific there).
 
In your situation you described, I would turn it back on her when she asks why would she want to do this... "Mary, I know you were very interested until you learned you were pregnant. What attracted you the most to PC? What attracts you to it again now?"
 
I agree next time they ask why they should do PC turn it back on them. We have to find out why they are looking, not why we looked.

Thank you for the advice and I should have done that so next time I talk to her I will ask her. It kind of took me back since she was so enthusiastic but that was a while back.

Very good points - I think I looked at the dollar value and meant to change it but in changing other things I forgot. And I totally overlooked the "everywhere".

Thank goodness, I had you all to look at it

Any other comments are most definitely welcome.
 
leah, what are you putting into your recruit packets?

I know I am not Leah, but I would suggest the Your Life Your Way DVD and the new recruiting brochure. I may add this document but haven't decided yet.

What ever you do keep it simple. You don't want to overwhelm them.
