Casual Articles - Good Recruits Gone Bad
A previous client told me that clarity is power. This statement has continued to have on impact on how I do business.I remember getting 8 clients over a period of 2 weeks when I was first starting out. I was more scared than excited because I had no idea what my next steps were going to be with these new clients. Thank goodness my planning skills have improved since then!It is just as important for your clients to have procedures set up to handle the situations for their
"You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink."
Heard that before? Well you're right you can't. But you can certainly look for the thirsty ones!

It seems like we are continuously bombarded with fundraisers, special events and a barrage of activities to choose from. At times we can be exposed to as many as 20 special events in one week. With so much going on around us is fundraising simply lost in the crowd and suffering a dieing fate of being white noise?White Noise is defined as noise in which the intensity is the same at all frequencies within a ‘given band’. When we sit in church or drop our children off at school
Now is the time to.
For a long time I never knew the difference in network marketing, what it meant to sponsor someone. I heard the term and thought it so mlm'ish. Since becoming a student of the industry I realize why we use the term.
To recruit someone is to just sign them and say "Go get'm tiger!" There's no mentorship, no real help. Just get in there and start swinging. "Hope you make it!"
Some use the philosophy of "if they are going to do it they are going to do it with or with out me." I tend to sometimes believe this however you can cut a person's learning curve in half by sponsoring them.
To sponsor someone is to begin a mentorship with that person. You're not going to help this person you're going to develop this person. You're going to coach them through the process. Given that they truly want to be developed that is. This leads me to an important point.
We always recruit but selectively sponsor. What do I mean?
We're always recruiting for new talent. Always. Stop recruiting and you're business shuts down in 90 days. You won't see it right away but it WILL happen.
However you can only sponsor those that want to be sponsored. What do I mean?

I've been out of school for a few years. Since I graduated, I've learned all sorts of things I wish I knew while I was in school. I want to give you a set of guidelines for summer jobs, so you get paid what you're worth (and not worked to the bone for some unappreciative jerk of a boss.)1. Do not settle for anything less than $15-$30 an hour. Paid by the hour.Frankly, I'm disgusted with the low-wages some college students are willing to work for in the summer. When

Screaming, yelling, ranting, raving, cursing, throwing items across the table, hanging up the phone in your ear ... Many of us have difficulty with negotiators who do these things.These outrageous behaviors can shake us up, intimidate, scare, or upset us.Why? The most common explanation is that our fight-flight response is evoked. Fighting rarely gets us moving toward a meaningful agreement. Fright can cause us to make compromises or give concessions we would otherwise n

Motivation sometimes seems a lot like magic. Some people can do it. Other people can't. Your boss tells you that you need to "motivate your people," but doesn't tell you how.The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines "motivate" as "to give someone a motive." It goes on to define "motive" as something that causes a person to act. In business you're told to "motivate" the people who work for you. In police work, we're told, you solve a crime by figuring out the motive.I've go

I'm always looking to work with my new recruits however not all of them follow through properly on what I ask them to and qualify for me to sponsor them through the process. Remember checkerboard management? You move. Then I move-repeat. Well I can't very well follow through and mentor a person who doesn't move.
Spending time up front with them and asking lots of questions and finding out their why is critical. This allows you to lock the person into their business. It's no guarentee but it certainly helps improve their chances and allows you to hold them accountable. Do you like to be held accountable?
Now those that do qualify but become uncoachable and unteachable along the way...what do you do with them? You can only do so much.
You're personal development allows you work with these people to a degree. However you can't spend your time making the horse drink anymore when they are no longer thirsty.
Associates that are too dependent will require more of your time, energy and your enthusiasm than is necessary. The ones that are producing 20% of the results will want 80% of your time. That just isn't wise. It's the associates that are producing 80% that you want to spend your time with.
There comes a time when the 20% must go from "learned knowledge" to "activity knowledge."
