It’s Not About You, Really, It Isn’t (Part 2)

This pertains less to networking and more to team building, but the same concept applies. We have to take ourselves out of the picture. In my opinion, the focus should be on how can she benefit from signing a Mary Kay agreement; it should NOT be about the check the company will send and how big it will be. I find that those who are reluctant to build a team often feel some guilt like they are looking for walking paychecks, if my analogy makes any sense. I’ll admit, I felt weird about the whole recruiting thing at first. I joined MK for friendship, activity, and a little extra money. I didn’t even realize that signing up created income for someone else. I had no clue, really. My recruiter is an old friend, so it wasn’t bothersome to me at all and ultimately, I’m glad I did sign under her. (more…)
Or, maybe you told a close friend or relative you’ve decided to become a Mary Kay Consultant and her response was less than *ahem* enthusiastic. It can be a powerful deflator, can’t it? Our toughest customers are the people who know us best because they know us from way back when we couldn’t sell enough candy for girl scouts! What begins to happen is an internalization of any adversity or rejection. We take it personally. It simply can’t be taken personally. Most likely, it has nothing to do with us. 
Stumble It!
