I'm sure when she's on today she'll respond
I've had two consultants sign up under me and I'm having a ton of fun providing information to them. It's so fun assisting when I can and watching their business grow right along with them. That's the best part! I've had two other consultants on my own team at one time or another, but unfortunately they went inactive.
Good luck with those shows! Don't forget that when you travel and do PC business during those travels, that those expenses are business expense write offs! Keep all receipts and keep track of mileage if you're driving. That's a nice little perk of the business....keep track of any and all expenses associated with PC. Come tax time, it'll really pay off! Let us know how the shows go!bejams said:
There are all kinds of sources for training (teleclasses, tapes/videos you can order, just playing with the tools in your starter kit and practicing recipes), but what you're probably talking about is having close contact with a director. If you're out of town from your recruiter or director, they would set you up with with a "Hospitality Director" in your area. That's whose monthly cluster meetings you'd attend, as well as any other training opportunities the director may offer. I know for my long distance consultants, I try to be available by email and phone whenever they may need something. Email really helps and I'm able to check it pretty frequently. What did we do before email came along??childs21503 said:
But, my director is very good at calling me or me calling her, we have a great relationship. Plus I do have about 5 people under me so we all work together! So...hospitality isnt always the great answer.
You're right, hospitality works the best when they're close by to you. Conference calls are good when meeting in person just isn't possible. And email! Like I said, we'd all be lost without email, I think.chefloriray said:My director lives 3 hours from me so it is difficult for me. I do not attend any cluster meetings but try to make it to bigger meetings. As for a hospitality director...the closest one to me is...3 hrs away!
There are lots of other great sources of information, so PC never lets their consultants flail about. It's all here if consultants need it!
I totally agree with you. I get the greatest kick from offering this opportunity to others. When I started over two years ago I told myself that I would never try to recruit others because I mostly got into the business to have something for myself and to have a nice break from home every so often. Well, the bug bit me! Not too long ago I realized what a great impact PC has had on my life and now my favorite part of it is sharing the same opportunity with others. If it has the chance of bringing them even half of the satisfaction and growth that I've had as a result of PC, then that's great! I have a couple more prospects in the wings and I just realized I forgot to have them come look at this site. One doesn't have a computer, which I think will make the job a little harder. But after those first few commission checks, a computer is a possibility!
I totally agree with that!! Having the two recruits that have come out of this website has inspired me to kick it into gear and promote to director! It's funny how a lot of times they do more for us than we do for them. This is a perfect example. And since recruiting them, I have about 4 or 5 people seriously interested in the opportunity!DebbieSM said:I too have recruited someone from this site, and I consider her a new friend. She is not from my area, but we communicate on a pretty regular basis. She has given me sooo much energy about my business. I think sometimes your recruits help you just as much as you help them. I'm glad that she contacted me, and that I now have a new friend and collegue.

That energy that new consultants have is SO contagious. I'm so grateful for the two consultants who contacted me and they are off to GREAT starts!!
