Re: RecognitionI like to get/give things that will help me in my business. (You can only use so many bottles of lotion in a year!)I agree- a few little things from supply order: catalogs, a few recruiting brochures, etc. And that won't break the bank for you, either, since FDs don't get the production bonus or large overrides to help pay for the recognition.

Re: RecognitionWhat about a few fundraiser and wedding registry flyers, since the kit doesn't come with those? It could help them offer the other aspects of our business. Just my idea. I second loving getting something with PC on it or something to help with my business. I only need so many magnetic notepads!

Re: RecognitionMy Director usually recognizes new consultants once they have qualified with a couple sheets of biz cards she makes on her computer. plus a couple other little business related items. I think it is great to recognize a first show but then do you need to get something fro them once they qualify too? It just may get to be too much, especially if you are buliding your biz and continue to recruit. You have to be careful cause once you start something you have to keep it going. I think mentioning they had their first show is a good thing but then reward them when they qualify. Just my 2 cents!
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do to prepare for my first show as a new recruit?

To make your first show interactive, involve your guests in the cooking process by asking for volunteers to help with certain tasks. Encourage questions and discussions throughout the demonstration. You can also incorporate fun games or giveaways related to the products to keep the atmosphere lively and engaging. Providing samples for guests to taste can also enhance their experience.
What should I do after my first show to follow up with guests?
After your first show, it's important to follow up with your guests to thank them for attending.
