Re: Yippy!!!I am a very firm believer in our 3-2-1. I teach it to my consultants and contact them several times a week to keep them going. Sometimes just a text message, "Who have you called today??" They know I am going to call and that I am going to want to know who they talk to. If you work the 3-2-1, it is almost impossible not to make your business grow. I emphasize to them that they are proof it works, and in only 5 months. I signed at the end of November 08 and now I'm promotting to director. This company gives us everything we need to grow, we just gotta do it consistantly! That's the key.

Oh, I'm definitely a believer on the 3-2-1 as well! In fact, I had to speak 2 conferences ago to about 200 people about this very thing when I promoted to Director.

I have given my team many ideas about recruiting but no real bites. I have a bunch of hobbyists so the motivation of recruiting is not in them. They have to want it. Some are having enough trouble just getting bookings. Some of my newbies are trying a lot harder though. Trying to get new ones to start their business with a buddy. I go over it in the recruiting interview and ask them who they know that they would love to work with side by side, bounce ideas off one another, attend meetings together, etc.
Recruiting is going very well for me and I was always told that I have to set an example and my team will follow. If I'm recruiting they will start. Basically don't expect my team/others to do something that I'm not willing to do. I have just worked so hard with this business I'm not willing to give up. However, it tends to be difficult to have to count on others to recruit for me to succeed. I don't want to worry about losing Directorship down the road!

Re: Yippy!!!Have you thought of placing your new recruits under your current consultants? I know this gives them undue credit sometimes, but make it a rewards system or something. If you know you are going to keep recruiting but fear losing your status, maybe you could try that. The consultant with the highest personal sales gets a recruit, or something?? I would do that before losing what you worked so hard for.

Re: Yippy!!!And yes I will be at conference, Lord willing. I am reserving my ticket with my first director bonus!!
 
Re: Yippy!!!Congrats Jennifer!!! If I could only get the rest of my team recruiting I'd be one happy woman! But truly, I've got great folks on my team and I honestly can't complain.
