I have an indirect recruit on my team who just completed her 30 days and qualified. She is bringing a recruit lead to our meeting next week. She is so excited, and so am I. This new gal "gets it"!!
I have really been working with my newest members about recruiting from the bat since Leadership. Well, the older ones too, but it seems that only the new ones are open to the idea.
I always give these "guests" a gift at our meeting. But, when it comes to talking at the meeting I am always nervous and anxious around the guests. Why?!?!?! :confused::confused: I have no problem if it is my own personal guest.

Because you have no history with them and you are worried they'll judge you or something. Just relax and be yourself!

yeah, the more I think about it I know that I will personally hold myself responsible if they do not sign. Even if it is not the case.

I have taken a bold step and have spoken to my consultant that has been a frog hair away from promoting to director for almost 2 years now. Recently, I found out that she had 3 recruit leads and she is letting them grow cold and not really staying in touch.
Called her today and asked her to gather as many as she can or make appointments with them individually and I will join her in talking to them to hopefully get some progress underway.
Also, I signed a new person who I am very excited about...trying to recruit her friend who joined her as we spoke about PC the other night.
Finally, the Amy Neal call is sinking in instead of scaring the bajeebers out of me!!! It think it is called..."Who moved my cheese" syndrome!!!
And Amy, it crossed my mind too about "what if I can't get them to sign either" and it is a pressure situation. I am trying to look at it as a learning experience for my consultant even if it doesn't lead to a signed recruit.
Just remember how nervous that recruit lead is too!! I am sure your gift is helpful in making them feel welcome.:sun:

update: she came, she laughed, ate the food, laughed more, participated in our training - way better at using the pineapple wedger than the rest of us, asked very few questions except to ask if she could use my laptop to do her online agreement before she and her recruiter left!:eek::D:party:
I am so happy for both (and relieved):)
