Want to Sign, but Getting Concerned.

[TiffanyBarton]

The only thing I would add to all this fabulous advice is, once you figure out why she is mia, sign with who YOU feel comfortable with! Talk with some of the consultants, directors and upper level directors on this board - interview US! You want to make sure you feel comfortable contacting your recruiter/director with questions, concerns, etc., and that they will be as proactive about contacting you as possible. I have had a very ill husband since October and we still don't know what is wrong. My team knows this (some more than others...if I hold you captive in my car on a 6 hour drive, you really get to know me), and I try my best to get back with them asap and to let them know the best way to contact me at the time. Do what is best for YOU!!!

This! I was with PC a few years back and signed with the contact I received from HO. I was very disappointed with her! This time around I interviewed people. LOL I wanted someone involved and fun! Someone who wanted to see me succeed because they had a genuine desire to see success and because she knew I was an investment. I wanted nothing more than I plan to give as a Director.

Find out what's going on and based on that decide if this is the team you want to be a part of and frankly, if you want this woman earning money because of yiur hard work. Good luck and blessings!!

I guess I didn't explain things well! She is sending the invites for me, but sent me an email invite that I can send out too. She is going to "do" the show, but it will be MY "Grand Opening" show, and it says that on the invite, and that I will get the credit for the sales. I will get any bookings and sales!
She has been really supportive once I got a hold of her!
On an even more exciting note: I have one confirmed show (my mom, haven't set a date yet but it will be within 1st 30 days!) and a $50 order! (I know the order isn't super high, but it's my 1st!!)

Excellent!! I am so happy for you. I come off a bit strong. So many new consultants don't know what way is right. I just wanted to make sure you understood it should be your party. You will be great. Practice whatever recipe you are making before the party.

That's the ideal. She's giving you a chance to watch and learn from a consultant's viewpoint, and still get the commission and sales. I'm glad she is doing that for you, vs trying to get the commission for herself. You're going to do great. Now, you've ordered your kit, right? I would not wait! If she has a website, you can sign-up on there (without waiting on her). Click on the "Discover Us" picture in the middle, or the "Join My Team" at the top. Most folks receive the kit within 5-7 days of signing. But you'll get your email with your consultant number and access to Consultant's Corner to begin the online training courses within 24 hrs. When you get your kit, you can start playing around with it, so even though she IS doing your show....you want to be able to help and understand what she's doing a little too. (My opinion.) The training gives you the foundation, but then seeing her, will help solidify what you learn and such. Good luck!

It sounds like she is doing a launch show for you. We do this in our cluster and it really helps out! We have had many consultants that actually qualified at their launch show. The recruiter may not really be making much money at a launch since the new recruit is listed as consultant, but it gives the new consultant such a boost and we do not lose many from our cluster. I wish they had been doing launches when I started!

Launch show = rich blessing on your new downline! Good luck; glad you're here. Read a lot, ask a lot, learn a lot.

Can someone describe what a Launch show is? Is this different than a Grand Opening with a recruiter coming to help the new consultant? I hear how some will do a party and then sign up the host and "give" them that show...what are the logistics involved? Is it basically decided that night of the show? Or was the host knowing all the while she was going to sign and then helps with the party and telling people this is going to be their "grand opening" or "launch"? Do you really have them sign up that night and make that show date the same date? Or do you fudge the show date? Or do you have the host join a few days before the show so that this can count? I'm just curious on the logistics of these things...

So glad you were able to get ahold of her and she was helpful to you!!
