c'mon people!!

Oh, boy do I need some words of wisdom/experience! To copy Colleen, I do believe there has been another alien abduction......except this time it seems to be my WHOLE team!! UGH!!! I know that it is hard for some to transition to getting back into the swing of things after the holidays, but almost my whole team has become unresponsive! I need help big time!
I cannot get them on the phone, so I've tried emails and still no response, even from my most promising/productive performers. How do you manage the no repsonse without becoming annoying? TIA

[ShanaSmith]

I think the aliens took them all.... they might have even gotten me!

I am having the same problem with my team right now. I just got off the phone with my ED, her answer was, you know this is the same thing that happens every year. I have been trying to tell my team just how hot Jan and Feb can be, but they aren't listening!
I wish I had an answer for you. I am just hoping that my excitment from Leadership will help jump start them.

ooohhh, I LOVE that!! :love0010:Not quite sure I can afford it, I may have to modify it, but I'm definitely going to be using it! Thanks so much!!

I am doing the manicure and pedicure at the local beauty school to save costs and then only 1 massage gift certificate for the highest sales, so that should run about $60 total for me I plan to use me production bonus for it.

And the bath & body are when the new consultant qualifies, so will have some overrides to cover those :-)

I am hoping it gets some of my girls going!

[dannyzmom]

What a great idea!! I have a friend who is a massage therapist - I bet I cuold get him to work a deal for me!! I may have to try this!!!

Make sure you let him know that you are sending him new blood, so it would be in his interest to give you a good deal. Hopefully they will keep coming back! :money:

I totally forgot about the schools - we have a pretty descent one around here too!

I'm not too experienced by far, but this year we have started a ticket system. We told everyone about it at the last meeting and they seemed excited. They will get tickets every month for attending the meetings, $1000 show, 4+ shows per month, recruiting, etc. Each thing has a specific # of tickets that it is worth. The catch is that they have to actually come to the meeting to get the tickets (I know this doesn't work for far away consultants, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it). They can redeem the tickets for items from the Director store or supplies...lots of different things. The tickets are about the equivalent to about fifty cents a piece.

I think maybe I'll run a spa month promo sometime. Although I have 2 guys- so i'll have to think of an alternate for them.

My DH loves getting massages, so maybe they may take a GC if it wasn't to a "spa"?
