Recruiting Talk at Show for another DS Rep

[finley1991]

I've been really really working and been CONSISTENTLY sharing our opp at shows using my Why Bag and then doing the Pass the Prize game. I have been getting AT LEAST ONE solid lead at every show that I've been doing this at and one is signing tomorrow!!! (Woo-hoo!) Anyway, I have a show at the end of October for a friend of mine who reps Lia Sophia. She's majorly struggling and needs recruits herself desperately... she's already lost her directorship with them once. Anyway, I want to do my Why Bag and the pass the prize but I'm wondering if this would offend her. I really want to recruit HER actually. (Side note: I met her after she signed with LS... she was debating between PC and LS and the LS rep told her PC was saturated here and bagged totally on us and she believed it. She knows better now but is still with them.) So should I just plan to do my show as normal, or should I ask her first?

Thanks for your input! :)

I have done shows for alot of consultants from other companies, Premiere, Lia Sophia, Tastefully Simple, Mary Kay, etc. I ALWAYS do my show the same giving everyone the oppty to see what PC has to offer. If I did a show for any other DS company I would expect the consultant to do the same ( I of course would tell my friends and family that PC is only company they should sign with...hehe only kidding) I would definately still try to recruit your LS friend...but I feel her guests have the right to choose PC if they want to. Good luck!

I would do your show the same. I had a similar issue. I had a friend who sells Tastefully Simple. 80% of her guests also sold that with her. I still did my why bag and all. They loved it. Asked if they could do that at their shows too. I had 4 bookings from that show.

I would talk to her before the show about her coming over to our side. explain that you feel it could be fore her-not every company is for everyoneand maybe LS just isn't her thing-then do your show the way you normally would! I doubt she wold expect you to do any differently!

AND kudos to you for really working your business and offering the opportunity! Do share please what you have been saying ONCE you have the person interested!

I would definitely do your normal show. You never know who might have a passion or need for PC and just never thought of doing it and would miss the opportunity if you don't say something.


On another note I have had SEVERAL people who are with other DS companies have actively recruited during my PC shows (some were hosts, others were guests). I never EVER talk about PC at another direct sale show so it's even more upsetting when it happens to me. lol
