Hey all,
I have a girl who is REALLY interested in signing. I'm not sure what information I can pass on to her that would be helpful. I talked to her about the opportunity a little but not much. I am doing a show for her sister next week and told her we could set up a time then to talk about it more. I'm not sure what information I can give that will help.

What information do all of you pass out to people interested in signing?
 
I just sat down today and made a list of 8 people that I think would be really good at PC. I am making an invite up on my computer to send them to invite them to lunch at my house. It's going to be the day my Director and my recruit come over for our montly meeting. I called and got the OK first from my Director. I am enclosing the Recruit coupon in each invite. This month we are having the meeting at noon on a weekday, so I could only invite my stay at home or part time working friends. If it goes well, I may do another one by myself on a weekend for my other friends that have to work through the week. Wish me luck!!

Thanks Jen. I'm excited about maybe having a recruit but a little apprehensive about this particular person. She doesn't seem the type to really stick with anything for too long. But she asked me so I'm going to give her the information and we'll see what happens. She LOVES P.Chef so maybe she'll be ok.

Another of my hosts used to be a consultant but quit because she said her director was just horrible to her and she couldn't really go to her for help for anything and basically she just was turned off by the whole thing. She's been so excited about her show and about all the changes in P.Chef since she was a consultant (about 9 years ago) that I'm hoping she'll show some interest in getting back into it again. I think she'd be perfect for it.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a good introductory gift for a potential recruit?

A great introductory gift for a potential recruit could be a small kitchen tool or gadget from Pampered Chef, such as a measuring spoon set or a mini spatula. These items are practical, showcase the quality of the products, and can spark interest in the brand.

Should I include promotional materials with the gift?

Yes, including promotional materials such as a catalog, a brochure about the business opportunity, or a personal note can enhance the gift. This provides the potential recruit with valuable information about the products and the benefits of joining your team.

How can I personalize the gift for the potential recruit?

Personalizing the gift can make a significant impact. Consider the recruit's cooking style or preferences. For example, if they enjoy baking, you might include a baking tool or recipe book. Adding a handwritten note expressing your excitement about the possibility of them joining your team can also add a personal touch.

Is it better to give a physical gift or a virtual gift?

While both options can be effective, a physical gift often leaves a lasting impression. However, if your potential recruit is remote or you want to keep costs low, a virtual gift such as a gift card for Pampered Chef products or an online cooking class can also be appealing.

How much should I spend on a gift for a potential recruit?

The amount you spend on a gift can vary based on your budget, but it’s generally best to keep it modest—around $10 to $30. The focus should be on the thoughtfulness of the gift rather than the price, as a well-chosen item can convey your enthusiasm and support for their potential involvement.
