Bringing guests to the meeting.

[Happy Chef]

Do you give a gift to the consultant or to the guest or both to encourage this? What do you give? Do you give anything extra if they sign then?

I give guests or first time attendees an I love PC pin. Haven't done anything else with that though.

I always give guests or first timers something a little goofy. Like popcorn (thanks for popping by), flip flops (thanks for taking the first step), or things like that. I always keep my eyes open when I am at Target in the $1 section. Last fall I found ceramic mini loaf pans at Michaels and filled them with a bag of candy corn, that was Thanks for coming to get the dish on PC.

Oh! How cute! I'm gonna have to start doing things like that. Thanks.

I do a pack of popcorn wrapped in cello for the guest with a note that says "thanks for popping in!"
The consultant that brings a guest gets a gift as well...depends on what I have but typically some sort of business supplies

You be surprised how many cheesey little saying you can come up with for $1 items.

Soap= TY for coming to learn how you could clean up with PC
seed packs= how your business could grow
flip flops= taking the first step
measurment guide (magnet from $1 area at Target)= hope the business measures up
Ice cream themed items= glad you came to get the scoop
Smarties= aren't you smart for coming tonight/ your so smart you stepped out of the box!
now n laters= your business is going to be booming now and later
Atomic Fire Balls= your really on fire with your business.

I use some of these for special recognition for my team also.

[Happy Chef]

Too Cute Shana! So do you give these to everyone for attending? Or as part of their recognition?

[ShanaSmith]

I give them to anyone joining us for the first time, consultant or guest. I do the candy stuff for special recognition. Like I have one gal that made up goodies and went door to door in her nieghborhood, I wanted to share that with the group in a special way. Or if I know someone could use a little pick me up I will look for some way to tie it in.

Hi All,

My Director team encourages people to invite guests/potentials to our
regular monthly team meetings as well. Does anyone have an invite or postcard
already created that they send out for these regular meetings INSTEAD
of the sampling invites, etc. I'd love it if you would share how you go about inviting these potentials with me!!!
