Recruits Disappearing: Has This Happened to Anyone Else?

[Chef Bobby]

Just recently, I've had two different people approach me about joining PC. I send them all of the information brouchures and then they disappear. Has this happened to anyone else?

Yes. ANd it is quite irritating.

 

[baychef]

Yes, this happens frequently. Try to establish a relationship with them, but keep in mind that all of us think that "if we don't tell them no, they can't be mad at us." So they disappear into thin air. If I have made several attempts with no response...my favorite word AND attitude are....
NEXT!

I agree totally...A couple of months ago, I thought I had a real good prospect and all of sudden she left with no trace. So I really have been trying really hard to go slow and not be too pushy.

I will take dissappearing over standing me up at a coffee shop

I really think it's that they don't want to disappoint us. After several tries I tell them to please call or email and let me know what's going on so that I don't keep bothering them if they aren't interested and so that I know when they think they'll be able to talk more about it so I know when to call them back again. That often works but not always.

Had that done too. I called her, she explained why...legit reason. Never heard from her or saw her again.

This has happened to me soooo many times! It gets my hopes up and then I never hear from them again. I even had a lady who was a definate "yes" and even use her free show credit towards her kit completley disappear. She literally moved to a different house and never contacted me again! My mom see's her at work and the lady avoids her like the plague!

Be happy they disappeared and didn't end up being a kit-napper. I signed someone up who got the kit and never did anything.

Did you follow up with a call or interview about what is in there? Also, do you think you might have sent them TOO much info? From my training last night, Barbara Duke said "never send them too much info. You want them to have questions to they can call you and talk with you more about it" Send them a teaser. Nothing that is going to overwhelm them."

My NED also said this. She said that when you give them too much, they think they have all their questions answered & don't need to talk to you. She only gives them the Your Life, Your Way brochure (which she thinks is just fluff anyway) and the DVD. That's it. She said the new booklet should only be used at a recruiting interview.

 

[SillyChef]

Exactly. She said she also saves the dvd for the REAL recruits.

 

[Chef Bobby]

That might be what I did. I sent them everything I could think of including an empowering women magazine. I guess I'll just move on like someone said. NEXT!

 

[Christ Follower]

Too much info huh? Maybe that's what I did too. When I was looking into the business, I wanted to know EVERYTHING! That might just be me though. I guess if I just gave them a little, I wouldn't be out a whole lot if they gave me the disappearing act.

I am so guilty of sending too much stuff too!! That is why I am trying to do more Cook and Looks. That too may involve too much of me talking. It has to be all about the recruit. My team has some good numbers, but could always use more!!
