I am going with a new consultant for her first show Sunday afternoon. Her friend that is hosting is considering PC or possibly Silpada as business opportunities. It would be great for Brenda if she signs under her but I am hoping we will help Brenda with bookings if Amy changes her mind and goes with Silpada.
 
Best wishes for success!!! Please let us know how it turns out!
 
Hope everything goes well!

I am trying to get better at supporting my consultants - The first person I signed slammed me in an e-mail about not getting enough support. This was also the guy that never returned phone calls or e-mail. I was also dealing with my mom taking a turn for the worse and trying to help her when she was dying of cancer. Got the slam from this consultant the weeekend that she passed. And Yes, he knew she was very ill.
This is consultant #3. 2 has hopefully sent in her waiver request. SHe is very busy with work and going to school (doctorate)
Got a few hopefuls in the near future.
 
Kathy - good luck! I hope everything works out for you!!! You must be doing a great job, if you have that many and more hopefuls.....go get 'em!!
 
So...how did it go?
 
GOOD LUCK! Have a great time! (How did it go??)

SHE WAS AWESOME!! Sounded like a pro. I know she was nervous but also excited. Sales were about 343 with 2 bookings and more outside orders to come. I think her friend is going to do Silpada but that's o.k. Actually invited the Silpada rep to her show. This rep showed up VERY late. I hear the Silpada person saying how important it is to do reminder calls. Well I know Brenda told Amy to do her reminder calls. You can't FORCE a person to make reminder calls
It was a great evening and I am very please for Brenda!
