Ok, there is this girl I have been talking to since her show in February. She has been interested in signing and just didn't have the money together to get the kit. She didn't want to use FPV in her show in Feb. to discount the kit.
Fast forward a few months ... I keep inviting her every month to attend a training meeting, and she does attend our fall kickoff and is very excited and wants to sign but needs to get money together. She decides to have a catalog show to earn FPV to earn the kit.
A month goes by, she has no orders for her cattie show, and says everyone who she talks to would rather have a party instead of just order. (I'm thinking, well sign already and have parties with them!)
Then a few weeks ago she calls me and says that a woman with another DS company wants to have a party with her, and she panicked because she wasn't a consultant yet and wondered what she could do.
I tell her, we can have this as a training party for her, she can co-host, add orders to the woman's show and can use shared benefits to get the kit discount and can also get bookings from this show to move her business along. She would have to work the party with me, of course.
A couple of days later the host calls me and we set a date, do some host coaching, everything relationship-wise with this host is great. She is planning on a big crowd to attend. I call my recruit lead and leave a message and tell her about it.
I don't hear from her in three weeks. I call her every week. No response. Finally I hear from her Sunday. She's like "I meant to call you back ...." she will be working the party with me. I tell her she needs to get some outside orders to contribute to the show, because it wouldn't be fair for the other host to do all the work and share benefits without my recruit doing anything. She says she is fine with that.
I talk to her (recruit) today and she says she has no orders at all to contribute. I tell her to bring her calendar and mark the days she wants to do parties in the next couple of months because we get most of our bookings at shows. She says she doesn't know at all when she will be able to book parties because she doesn't know yet when she will sign, even after this party. It could be this month, next year, whatever.
She says she wants bookings, and then she asked how we were going to split commission if she works the party with me! :grumpy: I explained it doesn't quite work that way and she doesn't get paid by PC until she becomes a consultant.
Now my question is this ... what the heck am I supposed to do? My host tells me that she has already collected almost $300 in outside orders, and plans on having 30 people at her show! I have several dates I want to fill in November and December for myself, but I told this possible recruit that she can get bookings from this party ... but how am I supposed to do that when she doesn't even know when she is going to sign up???!?
I don't want to seem greedy, or whatever, but I don't know. My director says she won't make it in the business at all if she doesn't call people back in a timely manner. (She doesn't have a computer or real Internet access, either.)
What to do? :cry:
