Who May Find This Useful

New consultants and those considering recruitment may find insights from this discussion relevant as they navigate similar situations in their own experiences.

I have 5 consultants on my team right now, and I am signing another with a kit credit next week (can't wait for that to go through!!)...but I am already encouraging them to add to their teams by asking them the names of 3 people that they would like to start their businesses with.

I know that the only way for me to advance is to build my team--not only down, but out. I cannot promote to Adv, Sen Dir, or Exec Dir unless I have Directors on my team....that's just the way it is!

And if worse comes to worse and they decide the business is not for them, their recruits move into my 1st line!

And with the price of gas, starting this business is less expensive than filling up your gas tank! (yes, I use that line at all my shows!)

Good luck to you both, you look like such a cute couple and I would love to walk with you as Directors at Leadership in January!!
 
OK, dexys...had to bump this thread up to see how it's going?
 
Jennifer:

I read about you, I believe it was you in Weekly bites!!! Way to Go1!!
 
So did you sign "Sally"? Or did your director? Please, please tell me someone signed "Sally"!! :confused:

I would so hate to see Sally selling seashells by the seashore....

She should be selling stoneware in st. louis in september....

Good use of alliteration, Janice!

UPDATE:
Sally won't be signing with anyone until September. We haven't talked with our director yet about the issue because we have been (and still are) on vacation. Yes, I know, I shouldn't be on here! But it's late and I don't have anything else to do! :)

We'll keep you updated....thanks!
