You can find much information on building your direct selling business. There are plenty of books, articles and blogs on what some deem as best practices to recruit.
If you are already thinking, “But that’s not focusing on the positive, Laurie” let me say that I am positive that if you are currently engaging in any of the actions below; and if after you read this you find yourself with a new awareness that what you’ve been doing isn’t necessarily a best practice, I am positive you will see an increase to your down line.
Bribing people to join your team is numero uno on my list desperate recruiting moves.
Sometimes things don’t turn out the way we planned. Disappointments happen. Many times you do absolutely everything right and what you hoped for still doesn’t work out. Sometimes you may feel like you got a raw deal. You may feel that you were royally screwed and you are at your tipping point.
Many times the things we get upset about shouldn’t be allowed to rob us of our joy. I’m not referring about crimes committed against us; if someone attacks (or worse) you or a loved one I would think righteous indignation may be appropriate for that situation. Rather I’m referring to disappointments and frustrations that are a part of everyday life.
It’s certainly acceptable and expected to feel disappointed and frustrated at times. Just don’t let it go on too long and don’t let it fester into a full blown fit of anger. Anger is toxic. Emotions are unbidden, meaning they happen to us. We don’t choose them. But what we can choose is our reactions to them.
Sometimes it helps to say aloud whatever is bugging you. You may be surprised how non-important, in the grand scheme of things, the issue you just thought was turning your world upside down suddenly becomes not that big of a deal.
Try it. Here’s an example. Let’s say you worked hard and planned diligently to attend a particular destination. Doesn’t matter if it is a family vacation, or an internship/job you wanted or if you were trying to earn an incentive trip. The specifics don’t matter. The key points are: you wanted it; you busted your tail to get there; and for reasons beyond your own control it didn’t happen. [Read more…] about Are You a Victim or a Victor?
Did your corporate office do an update to your website and now you and your customers still can’t get in?
It’s important to note that while exceptions do happen, almost always when your workstations or websites come back online after an upgrade or update, they all come back up. It’s rare that almost all consultants will be able to get in and you can’t. If this happens it’s almost always something on your end. Before you get too frustrated, there are some easy fixes. Before contacting your I.T. department try these:
Any one of those four above suggestions should work.
That is all.

There’s a familiar quote attributed to Chinese general and military strategist, Sun-tzu: “Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.” If you know your enemies, and you know what they are up to, you can keep a close eye on them. If you are unaware of their activities that makes them unpredictable.
Some consultants believe other companies that sell similar products are their competitors. Could be. Others believe that their product line is unique enough to set them apart from other companies therefore their true competitors are other consultants within the same company. Remember competitor doesn’t mean enemy or unethical business owner, merely one who is after the same business you are.
Regardless of your definition, if you have a business you are working, then you are in competition with everyone else who has a similar business. To find new customers and potential team members, investigate what your competitors are doing. There is nothing illegal or unethical about evaluating how a competitor markets her product or business opportunity. [Read more…] about Keep Your Friends Close and Your Competitors Closer
