Get a spiral notebook exclusively for sponsoring.

In the notebook list a minimum of 20 names and phone numbers.  These are people you could sponsor, past hostesses, guests, service calls, door prize coupons, friends.  Don’t be concerned about their interest level; the goal is to list people who might be interested.

Never let the list get below 20!  Put every lead you get onto this list.  Because you cannot let the list go down, you will find it easier to talk to leads.  You need to keep the list at 20 minimum.

The reason this works is because it eliminates the panic that hits up when we don’t have leads.  When you have 20 leads at all times, and someone definitely says “NO”, you shrug your shoulders, and add a new name to the list and go on.  A pleasant side note on this approach: sometimes a name written down just to fill a space may surprise you and join the Team!  Add her to the Team and find another name for your sponsoring notebook

Is the Economy Good Or Bad?  By Laura Posey

There is a plethora of economic data pouring in from around the world. Oil is at an all time high, the mortgage crisis seems to be larger than initially expected and the government doesn’t seem quite sure how to handle it. So what is a business owner (or salesperson) supposed to do? 

In researching the Great Depression recently, I came across a statistic that said that more millionaires were made during that time than at any other time in history. Not flash-in-the-pan millionaires, but long-term successes. So what did they do that enabled them to flourish while others suffered greatly?

The number one thing you can do (and what the millionaires of the Depression did) was to refuse to buy into the idea that things were bad. Sure, some people will lose money in this market but mostly because they refuse to see the opportunities that exist in uncertain times.

Take a look around you. There are always things being bought and sold in any economy. Where are the opportunities for your product or service? Who still has cash in this market and how can you reach them? How can you help your clients understand that spending now can increase their marketshare?

For example, if you are in printing, you might want to share an article from the Depression showing that Proctor and Gamble made a name for themselves by increasing their advertising spending during the worst times, effectively eliminating their competition, who had cut back on ad spends. By doubling their spending during a down market, P&G was able to take over 20 products to market dominance during the worst economic times this country has seen.

Take a moment right now to identify your 10 best customers and create a plan for helping them increase their business during these troubled times. If you help them grow, they’ll certainly buy more from you.

It is difficult to imagine a better way to get back into the groove of the trail than by attending South Dakota’s infamous Sturgis Motorcycle Rally, located in the scenic Black Hills. It was the 68th …
