Motivating Team to Reach New SAT Goals

[Jolie_Paradoxe]

Thanks Colleen! I forget we can post docs here! lol

I really appreciate you sharing!

Ugh....ok that's annoying then. She should respect your rules. Sounds like you have done what can be done, and you're right it's not fair and it's disrespectful to you.

I won't be doing this kind of thing next year but not sure what I'll do. Maybe certificates and forgo gifty things except for big deals like recruiting.

I want to motivate people to be green every month but so far they do what they will do...

Oh well, I do have new blood in the group and more coming so hopefully the dynamic will change...

I can attach them here... I print the border first and then print the certificate. I supposed I could have inserted a text box and done it all at once, but I didn't so it's 2 documents!

On a side note, at conference once we were taught that it's not the gift that matters, it's the recognition that they get. So it doesn't really matter what we give, it just matters that we recognize them for what they do.

Yes, it's the MOMENT, not the MEMENTO.

 

[Jolie_Paradoxe]

It will make a difference....the excitement of my new recruits and their stats have reinspired more than a couple of my more seasoned recruits. One who had "lost her mojo" just signed 2. 2 others who are mostly inactive have decided they want coaching calls AND came to the meeting! Let's hope this happens with your team too.

I send out a weekly recognition report using the Consultant Connection tools. One of the news items has a picture of the sexy green M&M and under it I list who is Green by 15.

If I miss putting someone's name on the list, they DEFINITELY let me know! They just want the recognition!!!

Here is my other thought on this... we shouldn't have to spend the $$ WE EARN on stuff for THEM! They can earn enough *stuff* from HO through the incentives we run. Our only job is to offer recognition. If they want *stuff* they can step it up and earn it from HO.

I don't mean for that to sound harsh, but we work hard for the $$ we earn! Our overrides are a bonus we earn because we've work hard for our titles. It's not extra $$ to use to make them feel good.

Thanks Deb! I couldn't remember that quote! You're the best!!!!

Now if we could only get them to see that we really do invest lots of time and energy for their success and thus that money IS for us.

I agree and offer 1-2 prizes per meeting and it's an all encompassing drawing for those who worked their biz in one way or another. For the bigger price tkt items....I make them WORK for it. They want extras? So do I! Extra, bigger items for EXTRA bigger efforts! he he

Though I'm considering offering a big prize for anyone who promotes to D in 30 days. What do y'all think?

Sounds like a good idea! But you want to stress to them that they need to go wide AND deep with extras, not just the bare minimum. My AD was doing her own little weekly calls for the girls in her downline who wanted to promote to Director. The first on got there super quick, but lost it super quick too. It's more important to have a solid foundation than a temporary one.

 

[Jolie_Paradoxe]

Most definitely. We did an opportunity event today and she got another strong lead, plus her recruiter got another teammate and another strong lead. I already explained the annoying nail biting when she's only got the bare minimum. We're telling her team that they need to be TL's...The new D has an SC and TL line, and another who is about to become SC.

Oh God can I attest to this!! I have seen this happen! And I am experiencing this myself! Colleen, thank you so much for the certificate. I am trying to rebuild a stronger personal team and my budget is watertight right now!

Also, I have been expressing my troubles on DC and I want to thank all of you for your support. The GREAT news is...we maintained AD this past month so I did not lose my title!!!

[

But I too realize that I have to change many things and one is my reactions to the obstacles I face in my business...real or perceived so this is not an emotional rollercoaster for me.

Great news is that I have just recruited a barnburner!! I just need to get recruiting into her routine! One of my changes is to hold a second meeting in an area that I am gaining consultants in.

arty:Also...today it was proven to me that business IS everywhere!! I went to the dump and a woman saw my stickers on my van. She needs a 15 inch pizza stone so I will be ordering it and delivering it to her. (and I got out of recycling and doing the trash bag as my boyfriend got stuck with it while I made my sale!!! HA!:devil

Again, I owe much to all of you for helping me through the rough spots and hope I can be there for all of you as well!

 

[Jolie_Paradoxe]

Glad to see that the biz and plans are going better Ann! It's hard to ride that rollercoaster and I think that it's hard when you have to give some of the control over to others. I am SUPER excited that you maintained AD!! WHOOO WHOOO!!

Hopefully it'll become second nature as she learns the ropes and you will not have to worry as much. Focusing on your personal team will also only help you make mas dinero!! Rooting for you from a distance! Congrats!

My team has managed to stay green, but not until the last day of the month. It is very stressful and can be an emotional roller coaster. One of the things I started doing this month is I give $1 scratch it cards to anybody who is green by the 15th. I also started a monthly "Team Party Day". It is Oct 12th this month but in November it is the 3rd. I encourage all of them to work that day and I am planning on small "prizes" for those who submit their show first, highest sales, highest bookings, most leads. To qualify, you have to have the party submitted by the 15th. It can be frustrating relying on others for your business to grow. I find it most frustrating, because I cannot always find what motivates them. They really need to want it and do it for themselves, but if a little incentive works, then I am up for trying.

Love these ideas! Thanks for sharing!

I give 15 PC Dollars for highest month, 15 for highest show for the month and do a Blue Dot drawing, but I hadn't thought about doing a Green by the 15th drawing!

I was thinking of doing a "happy dance" recognition at my meetings--just to keep it light. HAven't decided what we'll dance about yet, though....

We do a monthly "Active Dance" at our Cluster meetings. If you were active the month before, you stand and dance. Then, everyone is asked who plans to be active THIS month and they stand and dance. Everyone loves it even if they hate to dance. This gives recognition to even the very part timers or someone who may have just had a child or some other challenge and isn't the top seller or recruiter.
