How long before you got your first HO recruit or show lead? I became eligible this month for leads. I've received several orders, and now I'm anxiously awaiting a HO recruit or booking lead. Just curious!

It's just the luck of the draw. It depends on when someone in your area goes online requesting info on shows, business, etc., and then if it's your turn in the rotation for the lead.
 
I also just qualified for TL on 6/1, and have had three online orders through the lead system this month, and also got my first lead. Granted, it was someone with a broken stone from 7 years ago... but still, it's a new contact I made!
 
I have had 4 since April 1. One resulted in a catalog show, one in a cooking show, one has never returned my calls/e-mails, and the 4th said she already had a PC consultant. Received my first one shortly after I was eligible.
 
i got about 7 orders in a row at first, then i got several leads (3 show, 1 recruit, there was an order in there somewhere too), and now an order again. it really is just the luck of the draw!
 
I have gottem a few leads but unfortunatly for me non of them have responded to my emails. They didnt leave thier #'s
 
That is just bizarre to me that someone would fill out the form to GET a consultant when they already have one! Lol!
 
I have gotten probably 8 online orders. Only one of those left their contact info. I did get a HO lead for a lady who wanted a Show. I had that Cooking Show last Thursday night and it closed at $315...not bad for her first Show and only 5 buying guests! I got 4 bookings, including the Host.
 
Since April I have gotten 3 leads 1st was for a catalog the 2nd was a online order and the 3rd got last week and she wanted information about signing up and i signed her up last night :) :) and I am glad I got her last week cause so far this might be the 1st month where I don't hit team leader status. Which I am bumbed about.

I am really happy that we're eligible for the leads. I totally appreciate the extra online orders. I also got several in a row, now nothing for a few days. Every morning, I check Consultant's Corner, wondering when I'll get my first one. One of these days... :)

I know this is probably a really dumb question that's been asked a bizillion times, but at the risk of eye rolls I am going to ask it anyway.....When are we eligible for these leads?
 
No eye-rolling! :D

Team Leaders and up are eligible when they have done $1250 in sales in 3 of the 4 previous months. Eligibility runs from the 10th to the 10th of the month.

I qualified this month and have gotten 2 contacts (1 with a question and 1 with an order) and 2 on-line orders, totaling $150 in extra sales this month! Which I desperately needed! Good thing they give you 3 of the 4, 'cause I ain't gonna make it this month, but did in Mar-May!
 
Thank you so much, Patty. That gives me something else to work toward.
