Potatoes guide to recruiting.

[PotatoCannon]

I recently have had some success with recruiting so here we go :

1. Don't bite to soon!

The second someone comes in the server don't just say "Do you wanna join eGO?" or in DoD cause "Do you wanna join (house)?" This turns off recruits because would you like it the first thing in the morning 5 people asking you "join our banking group?" No.

2. Become buddies!

Nothing is better then becoming friends with the person your trying to recruit since then they will join since they want to be closer friends. Also this helps creating a link before asking them because what do you choose? A strangers request or a friends?

3. Offer to help.

Some people (younger and older) find it hard to join. Some think because you register to the site means your in eGO. So when they say yes ill join, go ahead and add them to friends and talk them through the process. I have had much success doing this.

4. Get friends.

It's always better to have 2-3 people recruiting the same person because then they feel well its not only one guy I got a few friends that want me to join. Also it will help you and others connect!

5. Keep in touch.

Don't just recruit someone and never talk to them agian make sure they still know your friends, it will give them a boost to stay. Also it's always good to have friends the more the better!

6. Remember when you were a recruit.

We all were recruits at one time or another so you know how it is. Help them with the problems that you had. Introduce them to some people.

7. Don't forget play dont recruit.

Don't go on to recruit and if you can't find any leave. Your in eGO to play and have fun never forget that.

8. Don't recruit everyone.

If you see someone that wants to join eGO but recently has been behaving in a bad manner, tell them only if your nicer and if they don't start being nicer politely turn them away.

Hope these help!

6. Be patient.

If they still keep "forgeting" and you are starting to get annoyed go to them and say ok you join now or don't last chance.

I think that's wrong.

Just ask him once if he wants to join and then help him but if he says yes and forget to join then give him a few days maybe his busy with something.
Then ask him again after a few days but don't keep asking.

10. Make sure they join right division.

Before you recruit someone take a look at there profile. Do they play alot? Do they play another division more? If you have a recruit who plays 15hrs of tf2 and 2hrs of DoD, tell them to join tf2 division not DoD.

If you asked him to join in DOD:S then I think he should join the DOD:S Division since you recruited him from that game and he only has to make an application to one of the divisions to be in all of the divisions.

Let them join whichever division they want

6. Be patient.

Some people will say they will join and won't but don't push them into it. When you see them, talk a bit and invite them agian. If they still keep "forgeting" and you are starting to get annoyed go to them and say ok you join now or don't last chance. If they still refuse stop and leave and try agian with someone else, don't try and force them because that will give eGO a bad rep and we don't want to seem mean.

7. We all were there.

We all were recruits at one time or another so you know how it is. Help them with the problems that you had. Introduce them to some people.

8. Don't forget play dont recruit.

Don't go on to recruit and if you can't find any leave. Your in eGO to play and have fun never forget that.

I would certainly seek guidance from a Senior member or a recruiting officer from A|R if I were you.

??? lets stay postive

Heh... that was being very positive on your behalf there little buddy!

 

[Insurge]

Good guide, but NEVER use this:

If they still keep "forgeting" and you are starting to get annoyed go to them and say ok you join now or don't last chance.

10. Make sure they join right division.

Before you recruit someone take a look at there profile. Do they play alot? Do they play another division more? If you have a recruit who plays 15hrs of tf2 and 2hrs of DoD, tell them to join tf2 division not DoD.

You should be recruiting for all divisions, if someone plays DOD more than TF2 it doesnt matter as long as they join eGO, don't shoo them from any division.

Rasmus already went over these points but I would like to emphasize some techniques mentioned that are NOT good!

 

[Rellik]

??? lets stay postive

Its not a matter of staying possitive. ALOT of what you have wrote up there is really good. and most importantly your heart is in the right place. BUT alot of it does not follow the philosophy that this clan has in regards to bringing in new members. and doesn't line up with what the Admin Recruiters are trying to do. thats why he suggested you contact them.

noone is trying to be negative against you. Like i said alot of it is good. some of it is really not.

Very Good potato Very good!!!

I know potato Cannon had made some none sense post before and some people made fun of it,even my self but only because they were funny indeed.
But I think he is learning a lot and is in the right track. I have to say that I'm very impressed to see his line of work and it is 90% the way I do it.
And i am talking about the last editing of his post.

1. Don't bite to soon!
2. Become buddies!
3. Offer to help.
4. Get friends.
5. Keep in touch.
6. Remember when you were a recruit.
7. Don't forget to play don't just recruit
8. Don't recruit everyone.

This is a great way to recruit and you will succeed for sure.
Now lets just work on the character and maturity.Watch and see your Leaders and ranking admins and you will learn a lot.
If they ask you something do it and do not argue with them,humble your self and you will see the results.
This will help you to get mature.Its not hard at all and yet for many it is,because pride wont let them.
I am sure Leadership sees your hard work and your love for eGO. In time you will be rewarded.
I can only say to you Congratulation
This is a good example how to recruit.

And if you need any help just pm me.
