My First Recruit...

I remember the very first guy that I recruited as an Amway partner...

His name is jorge (he's from Cuba, but he pronounces his name 'george'). I was pretty new to the whole 'recruiting' thing...

One day, I was coming home from work... I saw 'george' at the mailbox, sorting threw the junk mail, before going inside his home. I thought, at that moment, 'well, no time like the present!' So...

I walked over, shook his hand, and said, "hey jorge! I got something I wanna talk to you about!" He asked what it was. And I said, "I wanna talk to you about a business idea!"

"George's" reaction was, "what business you got? show me right now, mike!"

We went inside my apartment. I showed jorge 'the plan' on my new white, dry erase board... he took the marker from my hand, and re-showed me the same plan, just to make sure he had it right!

I confirmed jorge's understanding of things... and he joined me straight away! As I recall, the very same day, jorge gave me the money for 'the kit'...

And, that was it... my first recruit!

I've had a few more recruits since then... but 'george' was the one that kickstarted my belief. He was the one that made me think... 'you know, I think this Amway thing is gonna work out alright.'
