Just signed my first recruit of 2008

[DebbieJ]

She's a HO lead. Woo hoo!!! She has her first show this Saturday and is working on booking three more to get 4 in her first 30 days. I'll be at her show on Saturday so I"m sure I'll get those bookings for her if she doesn't.

Just got back from a recruiting interview... not signed YET but we are having her grand opening show on the 30th. She's just got to get the $$ together for her kit and will order it within the next week. So she's not official... I never say I have a recruit until I get that confirmation e-mail from HO!!!!! :) But I am excited!

Got home to an HO lead who booked for the 31st and then a referral for another lady who wants to book as soon as possible! YEAH!

Came up with something at leadership... not my idea personally but something a few of us brainstormed. Divide the 7-question recruiting questions over the 3 host coaching calls. That will do a few things:

1. It won't make them (or us) feel like we are "interviewing" them.
2. Keeps us touching the opp in each call (and making she we make each call!)
3. Leads up to an easier time asking her to sign at her show!

We'll see how it goes!!!!!

I have a dilemma....

before Christmas, I had a young man that I met at a restaraunt (he is the cook) show interest in being a consultant. I have called, no response. I have emailed, wrong address.
The thing is that my friend Debbie runs the restaraunt! I could call there and ask to talk to him, but I am not sure if 1) that would piss him off and 2) it is a professional thing to do!
What would you do/say?

[DebbieJ]

Colleen--love the idea! I need to revamp my host coaching anyway.

Meg--can you drop by the restaurant when your friend isn't there and the cook is?

good idea...now I just have to figure out when that is! In a way, I think if she were there, he would be more responsive to talking to me. I am not trying to hound him, but I know how much he admired the products, especially the knives! What a great thing to be able to offer him!
I will call Debbie at home and ask when she won't be at the restaraunt and go from there!

Could you just leave a note for for him to contact you? Maybe attach a flier of the three knife incentive and say that you are taking a chance because you don't want him to miss out on this since they don't offer it all the time.

[chefmeg]

very good idea! I think I will run by there today!

WE're off to a great start hopefully! I have a couple who are planning to sign in the next week or two, then a past host called me totally out of the blue because she wants to start too! She thought about it over a year ago, but at that time, it was mainly just to get the kit. I wasn't too disappointed when she decided not to do it back then. Now she wants to do it with a friend (but just she would sign) and her goal is one show a week. I dropped off the recruiting packet last night after my show (it was 11 pm when I dropped it off! And she was excited to get it...I think she was waiting up for me even though I said it would be late and I'd just leave it). So, let's hope that's another one!

Keep 'em coming! Keep posting updates too....that's always inspirational!:)

Just met up with a Feb host. She's a barista at my fav coffee shop and she had to ask ME about PC! DUMMY ME!!!! I'm always wearing PC clothes in public and carrying the Ribbon Tote as my purse. I was a walking billboard but never asked these ladies....sigh. Lesson learned.

Anyway, she booked a Feb show and it was easier (and yummier :)) for us to meet in person at the coffee shop to give her a host packet and do host coaching. Guess what? She is considering the business!!!!! I gave her the DVD and Opp Brochure and I'm going to call her next week.

I also have an interview next Friday 1/25 with a guest from an October show.

God is good!

[chefmeg]

you are on fire girl!!!!!!

I think you can add TPC in recruiting to your signature right about now! :)

I don't know about that just yet....I'm gunning for personal sales, though. :)

As pumped as everyone is now about the new cooking show format and inviting EVERYONE I wouldn't be surprised if those who earn it in recruiting double or triple!! I admire those who do it in sales that is quite an accomplishment!!

[DebbieJ]

Just an update....my first recruit qualified yesterday!! Yeah!!
$100 to Best Buy coming my way! Going to research Ipods.....

Awesome!! Congratulations!
