Slow and steady ...

Since this has become a blog about my Scentsy (MLM) journey, I thought I'd share how my team has grown...

• 3/23/10 - I signed up.
• 4/9/10 - My 1st recruit signed up (I'd invited her to lunch to share the Canadian opportunity thinking she could refer me to someone since she is from Canada).  Tip:  Share your business.  You never know who'll be interested. 
• 4/17/10 - Recruit #2 signed up. (She pretty much decided at my launch open house --- she saw how fun and easy it was and thought "I could do that!")  Tip:  Keep your parties fun, but simple, too.
• 6/9/10 - My 3rd recruit signed up after researching Scentsy online.  She chose me over others in our zip code. (She mentioned that my story led her to believe that I'd be the most helpful).  Tip:  Make sure your personal story and/or bio reflects your knowledge and ability; not just your enthusiasm. 
• 6/27/10 - My 4th recruit signed up.  She was a former employee who kept in touch...  Tip:  Don't burn bridges.  (Either as employee or employer or...?)

Tonight #4 emailed that her 1st recruit should be signing up this week.  How exciting!  I'm to be a Scentsy Grandma!  (Get it?  2nd generation recruit!  {giggle})  LOVE this stuff!

Sooo, I'm building my business "slow and steady".  I could pressure more people to sign up, but I'd rather have people that are going to stick around for awhile.  I don't want to see people sign up just to drop off...  My downline energizes me just as much, if not more, than I energize them.

I'd love to hear your thoughts and hope you'll peek in once-in-awhile to see if slow and steady really do win the race.
