It might be hard to sign people up as IPCs at an event like that
because you wont have as much time to educate them. But you can try!
You could order some of the intro packs with the 5 ml lavender,
peppermint and lemon and sell those. They are $20 wholesale and they
come with some good info for them to get started. Have some business
cards so they can contact you later when they want to buy more oils.
You could have some A-Z usage guides from myoilbusiness.com and you
can get the sample bottles there too. Or just give them a drop of
peppermint and wild orange on their hands and have them rub their
hands together and inhale! Have a drawing and then with their info
you can inform them of any upcoming classes you are having or have a
sign up sheet to be notified of future classes.
The reason for the PC is for someone who doesn't want to give their
ssn and only sign up to buy oils at a discount - less invasive I
guess. This is also set up for business. PCs can then upgrade for $25
to an IPC anytime. Don't use the word join, call it a wholesale
membership like Costco!
Then go to builddoterra.com and learn as much as you can. There are
great webinars on the compensation plan and so much more.
Hope that helps!
