It is also recommended to bring a notepad, pen, and copies of relevant documents, and to prepare beforehand by researching the company and industry, practicing an elevator pitch, and anticipating potential questions. Some common mistakes to avoid include being overly confident or unprepared, while tips for making a good impression include actively listening, asking thoughtful questions, and maintaining a positive attitude.

Before I went to conference one of my past host called to discuss possibly becoming a consultant. I talked to her a little bit and told her I was going conference and we set a date to meet this week. Well I called on Monday to confirm and she said yes she does want to do it. So I just need to meet with her more than sell her on the opportunity. Any suggestions on what to say to her so I do not overwhelm her?
 
Ask her about her family/life. Then ask her what excites her about the Pampered Chef and then listen. Then ask her if she is ready to get started. If yes, then fill out the agreement with her.

Make sure she has your first training date and team meeting on her calendar and knows to work on her list of 100 and bookings.

Thank and congratulate her.
 
Congrats to you Grandma Beth!
