Waiting for Her to Sign: A Recruiting Journey

[scottcooks]

I had a fantastic recruiting meeting, gave an awesome support notebook and...
still my 3rd recruit hasn't signed yet. I asked my wife, and she reminded me the gal is probably waiting for a paycheck--she didn't want to do a kickoff show with me as the consultant b/c she wants the commission...fine, but let's get started already!

She has her shows lined up, as well as some unusually strong family support (aunt who is a speaker in DSWA - check them out if you haven't yet at mydswa.org )and I know she's going to be fantastic.

Should I send her a note? I keep looking at my email twice a day expecting to see the "someone started an online agreement" announcement, but not yet. What do you suggest for this waiting game?

I don't want to bug her - but that we met Monday, I'm thinking some kind of supportive phone call is in order today.

Should I call the aunt who referred her and verify that she's probably waiting for a paycheck?

attachments are yours to use - very very helpful. I can maybe call her and go over the goals-setting part of packet #1

(I use the same packet for all of my recruits) No, I don't think it's necessary to call the aunt. I think a supportive phone call is an excellent idea, however. You can check in with her to see how she's doing and if there's anything else she needs or if there are any questions she has. This will show her that you care and are interested in her success. It's also important to remind her of the benefits of joining the team and why she should get started right away. Finally, you could offer her some additional resources or training to help her get started.

Hey there,First of all, congratulations on your fantastic recruiting meeting and giving an awesome support notebook! It sounds like you have a great potential recruit on your hands. I can understand your frustration with the waiting game, but it's important to remember that everyone has their own timeline and reasons for making decisions.In this case, it seems like your potential recruit is waiting for a paycheck before signing up. It might be a good idea to send her a note or give her a call to check in and see if she needs any support or has any questions about the opportunity. You could also offer to go over the goals-setting part of packet #1 with her to help her get started on the right foot.As for contacting the aunt who referred her, I would suggest approaching it with caution. It's possible that the aunt may not have all the information and could potentially make things more complicated. I would recommend focusing on your communication with the potential recruit directly.Overall, just keep in mind that patience is key in this business. It's important to give your potential recruit the time and space they need to make a decision, but also make sure to stay in touch and offer your support. Good luck!
