Arriving late to the party here... I always wondered how there wasn't a thread on JP (with the exception of Cassy!).
Sadly I was one of the totally naive people who had somehow never heard of JP so when my husbands manager showed me her sales/commission of a few hundred quid a week, I thought it was a slam dunk as a wee side project... Did I mention I was naive
Someone very early in the thread asked about training... I was sent a "business training pack" explaining what JP was and how to grow my business like a #bossbabe. It contained some fabulous nuggets such as 'strangers are just friends you haven't met yet!' and I was also sent a "welcome pack" for my potential clients to explain the program, I have included a screenshot so you can see the recommended diet.
I was also sent a list of "openers" to start conversation online as well as large paragraphs describing how amazing the products were & what the plan consisted of and that I should send these to people.
Unlike a couple of the other more successful JP reps on this thread, I was useless
Working full-time, I just didn't have the energy to commit my evenings to it and my two uplines were relentless. Weekly team calls, daily texts, push, push, push. They even got a higher upline who had recently gone PMD up North to ring us all for a peptalk. Cringe. There was a magic "formula" which I wasn't grasping... I was told to add 30 people a day, message people or comment on 30 peoples posts per day (wish people happy birthday etc, build relationships), post myself every hour, mixing between real-life relatable stuff, before/after pics, product posts and of course posts to tell *mY JP sToRy* which they made it sound would just have people beating down the door to buy JP off me.
Needless to say, I couldn't convince anyone to buy anything (turns out I just felt embarrassed trying to flog it and didn't have the heart to cold message people) and I definitely could not get anyone to be a teamie. When I joined I quickly realised that my area was already saturated with JP reps. There was even someone else at my workplace! But it was made to sound so simple... Oh its easy, just get a couple or orders a week and one new teamie. Then it just grows exponentially each week thereafter. Simples
So the small team of about 5 or 6 reps that I joined had all gotten bored / pissed off within 6 months and given up, including the hubbies manager who originally signed me on and her upline (who was signed by Sinead Kavanagh, who I was told was a goddess badass
witch and to copy what she does, watch her vids etc).
Anyway. Rant over. This thread gave me much entertainment all day as every now and then I look up the likes of sinead or OCM to see are they still #hustling. Ye have some great insights on here...Keep it up lads!
