The Journey Box

I've recently been in contact with Kat Roberts who learned what a Journey box was at a regional conference and explained it to me.  She got the idea from a leader named Lisa who told her what was in her Journey box.  I thought it was a great idea to add some fun to your parties as well as drumming up some interest for recruits.  The box is a tool to tell everyone about what Jamberry means to you. You can use it at a party to do a give away. Get a roll of tickets and every time someone guesses what the item you pull out means to you they get 1/2 of the ticket. You drop the other one in a container to draw from.

You start by saying, "This is my Jamberry journey Box and inside are items that have special meaning to me concerning my Jamberry Journey."
Here are some items you can put in your journey box:

• A flag-meaning that the products are made in the USA, are vegan free, etc.
  
• Luggage tags for all the fun places you will travel by earning incentive trips 
  
• Pom-Poms everyone loves recognition for a good job 
  
• Pen-write your own check. Jamberry is your own personal ATM: Any Time Money where else can you party for a living? 
• BFF necklace for all the friendships you will develop 
  
• A cut up credit card---you will be debt free by partnering with Jamberry 
  
• A bra (yes that's right! A bra) because it's the most uplifting and supporting company. Lisa also added that because of Jamberry she was able to go out and spend $50 on a bra now. 
  
• Product because it's great and simple 
• Last but not least: a $100 bill (fake and enlarged play money) because that's all it takes to start your own business
  

Hope this helps and you can adapt it to your needs.

Recruiting Red Flags

What are RED FLAGS? Red flags are clues that someone might have an interest in a Jamberry Business! They can be subtle (liking all or many of your posts/pictures) to bold (asking how much it is to get started) and everything in-between! Identifying these and asking the right questions can lead to more mew team members for you!

Following are some Red Flag Questions that commonly come up:

    How many nights a week do you do this?
    Do you do this every night?
    Don’t you get tired of loading and unloading your car?
    Are there very many consultants in this area?
    How long have you been doing this?
    What does your husband think about you doing this?
    What do you do with your kids while you do shows?
    Is this all you do?  Do you have another job, too?
    How far do you have to travel to do shows?
    Do you get trained how to do this?
    How do you remember all these product names?!
    Do you only do shows at night?
    Do you have to go to a lot of meetings?
    Did you have to buy all these products?
    Do you ever get nervous before a show?
    I used to sell _______, how do you like Jamberry?
    You really seem to love what you do!  I could never do something like this.
    I live pretty far away from here, would you come that far to do a show?
Remember that the key is to answer the question with a question.  And of course, you’ll want to send her some information about the company and a catalog and sample.  Very few of us consultants “checked the box” on a door prize slip, so if you’re missing Red Flag Question askers, then you’re missing some great recruits!  If you don’t ask, someone else will!  JUST ASK.  J

Remember – the key is to answer with an open-ended question, NOT a statement that leads nowhere!  Practice saying these responses so you’ll be ready at your next show!

1. Is all that stuff heavy to haul around?
   Would you be willing to haul it for $100 a night?
2. How often do you do this?
   I do between 1-3 parties a week, depending on my family’s schedule.  How many do you see yourself doing?
3. I bet your husband hates it when you go out at night.
   At first he did, but he found he loves the paychecks.  Would your husband mind you making $100 a night?
4. I want everything.
   I can tell you love the products.  Would you like to hear how to get PAID to wear the products?
5. Can you really make any money doing this?
   Absolutely!  Could you use some extra money?
6. I’d never have the time to do this!
   How much time do you think it takes?
7. Who watches your kids?
   Would child care be an issue for you if you made $100 a night?
8. I could never do what you do.
   What is it that I do that you think you couldn’t do?
9. I hate my job.
   I know how you feel.  Have you ever thought about doing something fun on a part-time basis and make full-time pay?

Remember to keep the focus on the person asking the question – NOT yourself! Recruiting is NEVER EVER about you!

Homework:

1. Write your own responses to some of the questions listed above.
2. Think about your Facebook activity. Make a list of people that have liked/commented on your posts multiple times. What type of leading questions can you ask each one to spark the extra interest? (If you need help with this, post on the team page and we will all help you out!)
3. List any additional questions you have been asked that you think are RED FLAG questions.
