Are you looking to recruit with your home party plan business?
If so, there are some important things you need to learn to become a successful home party plan recruiter.
Below are some tips that I have learnt along the way that will help you to become a successful recruiter.
#1. NEVER over-hype the oppty! Some people are leary of those who over-hype any oppty, making it sound too good to be true can scare people off! Always give Straight Facts!
#2. When talking to a possible recruit via phone or in person, always speak clearly, do NOT use business slang terms and make sure you sound like you are excited to be talking to them about your Business Opportunity. Try not to have other distractions going on at the same time in the background ie. kids screaming, hubby yelling etc. The new possible recruit deserves your undivided attention.
#3. Allow the person you are speaking to to ask you questions. During the conversation at several points, make sure you say "Do you have any questions for me?" then go on and answer them.
#4. Make sure you educate yourself about current New Consultant Specials so that you can explain them to the possible new recruit. Let him/her know about Sign Up charges, Ongoing Charges, New Consultant Orientation Program, Training Programs and so forth.
#5. I like to end my conversations with "I would like for you to think about all of this and you can contact me again if you have any questions for me" and let them know how they can contact you again via email, phone, mail or in person type of contact. Let them know when you are available ie. Your schedule.
#6. After a few days or a week if you do NOT hear back from them, you can initiate contact again to see if they have any questions for you. Never assume they are NOT interested, sometimes they get busy with other things so always follow up with them atleast ONE TIME.
#7. Keep a list of possible recruits, sometimes its just not feasible for them to join right now ie. money committments, family committments and so forth. The next time we run a good NEW consultant Special, I pull my list and initiate contact again with them. This has worked several times for me in getting new recruits! Just because they say NO now, doesnt mean you will get another NO in a few weeks!
#8. Try to connect with all possible recruits on a personal level too. I tell them why I joined my company, a little about myself and why (my business company) has worked for me. This gives them a personal connection. I also ask if they have children or if they are married and how (your business company) can work for them around their family obligations and so forth.
#9. ALWAYS be honest when recruiting! Dont lie and say you are making thousands of dollars! Let them know that with ANY business or job, it does take consistent work! Hard work does pay off!
#10. After I get a new recruit, I always follow up! I like to email them and let them know I am available to answer questions or to help them get started any way I can! I also like to snail mail them a Thank You card with my personal contact info inside it. I always make myself available at any time to answer any of their questions or to offer help when they need it!
Remember, When you recruit...its also your job to help them get started by answering any questions they have. You just dont sign them up and never contact them again! That makes for BAD business relationships! The more help you offer and the more connection you make with them the better recruit they will be for you!
