Newfound Inspiration

This week I found new inspiration for my business. It’s July and I want to start this year off right. I want to be a four quarter star this year among other goals. We had a great training session! My friend trained on booking, but what she really trained on is how she talks to people. She’s a brand new director. She’s been in MK since May 2008. Yes. Just over a year and she has been a director for 4 months! She has no fear, but she is so down to earth and real I love listening to her teach at our events. She’s an inspiration to me. After listening to her I feel less fearful. (more…)

Marketing ME

This has been a long time coming. I have been wanting to share what I have changed in my business to get the better results I’ve been experiencing since July. There is a combination of different factors that led to my productivity. The biggest has been consistency. However, before one can be consistent, one must have tasks to do consistently. I was always stuck about being consistent because I never seemed to have enough leads to work with (or so I thought). There was also the problem of me getting stuck in my own head listening to what some call “the committee” rumbling and grumbling about all that goes wrong and ignores what goes right. Recently, I have quieted that committee and found some confidence in myself and in my business. Know what I did? I figured out how to get leads! (more…)

Got Guests?

Since I’ve been on a bit of a hot streak in bringing guests with me to my meetings lately, I thought I would share a little on what I’ve been doing. To be perfectly honest, I’m a little shocked myself. In the past, I have not had this much success in bringing guests. What I’ve been doing differently has made a phenomenal impact on my confirmation and attendance rate.

So what have I been doing? What’s getting these guests here? Who are these guests? Where are these leads coming from? I know, there are so many questions to be answered! In fact, over the years I was asking these very questions to myself as I would watch other members of my unit come week after week with guests while mine were not coming at all or I just had no one to ask. Part of the problem was my own self esteem and confidence. I didn’t really believe that I could find people who wanted to come with me. It was a little deeper than that, though. It was kind of a feeling of why would someone want to be my guest? I was making it very personal which was silly now that I look back on it. By personalizing it, I’m making it about ME. It’s not about me! It’s about them! (more…)

Eagles Will Fly

“Eagles will fly and chickens will peck forever.” This is a Mary Kayism. Tonight I’m writing a little bit about managing a team. It was our kick-off meeting for the new sales year this evening and I am so happy I went! We trained on the career path and how commissions work. It was good to have the information. I was more impressed with some of the advice we were given. The question came up about motivating your team or unit to sell. The answer was surprising.

The answer was not a “how to” on motivational speaking. Rather, it was to lead by example. Basically, it doesn’t matter how great of a motivator you are, if someone doesn’t want to be motivated, they won’t be. It goes back to that adage we often hear, “if you drag her in; you’ll be dragging her all the way.” Nobody wants a drag! The people who want to work will work. They will have questions. It is best to be working one’s own business and gaining experience than it is to motivate while working less. Also, motivating people into the ground who aren’t that into it anyway, will be quite draining on the motivator. (more…)
