"Learning How To Motivate Your Group" - Mike Dillard
Ridzuan AM
Understand this right now: The only thing you can do that will TRULY help your business and your team members is to lead by example.
Just do the things that you need to personally do on a daily basis to build your business - Advertising, Prospecting, Follow-up, and New Rep orientation. One training call per week for new reps, tops... Spend more of your time one-on-one with your producers, and that's it.
Just as it is a sorting game to find new reps, it is a sorting game to find reps that will work and achieve once they join.
The sad truth is that 90% of those who start a networking business aren't really serious about becoming self-employed. They are just looking to "buy some hope", so they can quite the voices of discontent in their heads.
Soon enough, they'll find an excuse as to why "it didn't work for them", and quit.
And there's NOTHING you can do about it - So don't spend your time and energy worrying about it.
DO NOT cater to their weakness. Do not change your tools if they are working for you. Do not change your websites if it is working for you. Do not change your system if it is working for you - just because it doesn't work for others... It never will, and it's their issue, not yours.
Build YOUR business. Lead by example, and the right one's (the few), will follow you. Put your blinders on to everything and everyone else.
You're not here to save people. You're here to give them an opportunity to save themselves. Most won't. And only they can ever change that.
As a business owner, it's much smarter to find "Do-ers" and leaders than it is to turn people into them, (which is basically impossible without their personal conviction to do so).
It is also VERY important that you leverage LARGE numbers in your business building efforts, because you won't even notice the whiners, complainers, and quitters when you're dealing with thousands of people.
The best way to do that is to start advertising, then build and maintain a LIST that you drip on over time. Each new contact will bring new, interested prospects and reps to the table.
