So I attended a friend's partylight show last night, and I am so glad I did. The woman was amazing! Anyhow, she also did a recruiting game that I really liked called Mary Mall and Patty Partylight. Have you guys heard of this?

Basically she said how people now-a-days are looking for extra income, or even just a job. She pulled up two volunteers and named one Mary Mall and one Patty Partylight. She said they both are starting new jobs, Mary's is at the mall and she has a boss who decides when she works, and whom she must get approval to take days off, etc. Then she talked about Patty Partylight who started as a PL Consultant. Patty determines her own schedule, she decides when she wants to take time off, etc. Then she pays them with cards. Each card is worth $100.00 Basically Mary Mall ended up with $400.00 a month, and Patty Partylight, $1200 for working the same hours.

I thought it was pretty cute! Has anyone heard of this game?

oh, and she gave them candles as a gift for volunteering, and then at the end a recruiting CD.
 
Wow I love it! It sounds cute.
 
Yes, I went to a premier jewelry show and she also used this
 
Any chance you could email the PL rep and ask her for the script she uses for that game? It sounds fabulous!

I was thinking of doing that. Yes, I will! She had some nice lap boards too that I wanted to ask her about. I will let you all know what she says! Thanks.

DannyZmom, it says you are a director in FL, then it says you are shivering at the bottom of Lake Superior....as a Michigander, you have me wondering what that means! :)
 
She's a nervous wreck! That's from an old joke: What lies quivering at the bottom of Lake Superior? A nervous wreck. :D

Oohhhhh. I hope she does. This is a great idea!
 
Don Funt always does a spiel like that, comparing a mall retail job to ours.
Dollar for dollar, it opens lots of eyes.

Very cute, never heard of that story before! We can also add when we want a raise we just increase it ourselves and not having to "ask" for one from the boss. Or something along those lines!;)
 
What a great game! Thanks for sharing. I look forward to seeing what info you get from the PL consultant! :)
 
That sounds great! I really like that idea! Thanks for sharing!!
