The Attitude Of A Leader
The single most important thing for any business is the attitude of the leader. In direct sales you are your company’s CEO. The attitude of the leader is always projected down to the ranks of the company. Home businesses and direct sales are no exception. Whatever your attitude is, it will project down to your clients or customers. Do you project an attitude of need or an attitude to lead? Think about these questions:
• When some one says a definitive no, do you keep asking?
• Have you ever said “do a show for me”
• Have you ever said “you owe me one!”
• Have you ever tricked someone into hosting a show?
• Are you frequently persuading people to have shows?
• Do you tell people that it is really easy to make money with your opportunity?
• Do you worry about competition?
• Are you always hoping for another booking?
If you answered yes to more than one of the above questions, then chances are you are operating from a point of need as opposed to the point of a leader.
Real estate agents are in a business very similar to direct sales and home party plans. They generate there clients through network marketing and referral programs. Have you ever heard a real estate agent ask “Will you list your house for me?” or say “You owe me one… Let me list your house!” No, if a real estate agent acts from a needy point of view, he or she will not be in business long. Direct sales consultant’s who operate from a state of need are always needy. When you need someone to host a show, you will always need someone to host a show. When you need them to have a show or sign up for your opportunity or services or you need their referral to be successful then, then they put up a wall.
Needers convince, leaders qualify. Needers persuade, leaders sort. Needers trick, leaders attract. Needers say easy, leaders say it takes work and may be hard. Needers have fear, leaders have determination and commitment. Needers focus on lack or what they do not have, leaders focus on positive and gratitude. Needers hope that things will go their way, leaders have conviction. Needers give and take, leaders give and receive . Needers worry about competition, leaders use collaboration. Needers say I can’t, leaders say how can I.
When you have the attitude of success you will attract all the business you need. When you are positioned as a success with or without them, then and only then you will attract the people who desire your services. Develop the attitude of a leader by learning to qualify your leads, and sort them out. Stay committed to your quest without fear. You can only fail by quitting. All good things involve risk and commitment will get you there. Stay focused on the things that are good in your life and your business and you will be able to give and receive. Collaborate with other network marketers in your company and in other companies. Collaboration compounds your positive results. Always look for the solution rather than the problem. A success attitude will guarantee your success! When you a success attitude, the attitude of a leader, you will attract the forces to use to attain your goals.
