Keeping in Touch Until They Sign

[susanr613]

Hi -

I'm cautiously optimistic...two recruits who want to sign Jan 1. I have asked them to go ahead and line up their first 4-6 shows and invited them to training Jan 10. My concern is that they will have second thoughts and change their minds. What suggestions do you have for staying in touch over the next month?

Thanks so much!!

Susan, I have one of those as well, so I'll be anxious to see the replies!

Do a 3-way training call with both of them on the list of 100 and getting bookings from the Guide to Supporting New Consultants. Offer to check in weekly on how they are doing at getting those shows on the books.Encourage them to get an office area organized and set up some folders. Give them a template in Word to make labels for their catalogs.Give them a Season's Best with an assignment to try a recipe that they will demo in January and report back to you.

Proceed with training as if they are already signed. Then when they get their kits they will be well prepared, confident, and ready to soar!

Invite them to one of your shows to do an observation, show them how easy it is to confirm for them how much they want to do this (and show them from the thank you letter how much you actually earn from the show, a dollar about is always great confirmation!!)
