Question:
Recruiting Test Reminders
Answer:
Recruiting Test season is coming up, so let's get you warmed up with some quick Q+A which will help with that, and also with some important reminders.
Q. When is the first date that I can call prospects?
A. Right now, that's July 1st for most, slightly different for MBK, WBK and FB. But, don't worry - things are changing and the new rule just got passed which allows EVERYONE (other than FB whose current call rules aren't changing) to do what MBK have done for years...make one call a month starting June 15th after sophomore year, then 2 calls a week starting August 1st before senior year, with only one call a week ever to transfers. So, this question got a bit harder didn't it?! This new rule won't start till August 1st, 2011, so for now, your actual rule-to-follow will be the usual 1 call per week starting July 1st for most, going to 2 a week in August 2011...but if asked this question on the test, answer it with the NEW rule, info about which will, as always, be distributed to you AT the test. Wow. Confused yet?

Q. Let's keep the date thing going...when is the first time you can send recruiting correspondence (e-mails or letters) to a prospect?
