Thirtyonederful Team Meeting-8/23 Notes

We had a fun meeting today at Atlanta Bread Company and our theme was Going Green; "How to Make More "dough" this Fall". Our focus was on sponsoring and being a successful Dreambuilder. One part of our training was taken from the book, "More Build It BIG" from the Direct Selling Women's Alliance (www.dswa.org).  The article was "Advance Your Recruiting with Appointments".  You want to quickly find the Gem.  Are you actively working your business-connecting with new people, enjoying good sales-but can't seem to grow your team? Chances are you are missing an important step:  getting the appointment on your calendar.   Industry statistics tell us that one out of 10 women who are interested will join our team. But, without an appointment we end up answering questions sporadically, in multiple phone calls. You should call within 24 hours to set up the appointment and set the expectation with your prospect that you will be calling.  When you call her don't ask her if she has read the information you gave her because 90% of the time she hasn't.  Be sure to paint the picture of what will happen when you meet at a neutral location (Starbucks, Atlantic Bread Company, McDonalds).  I challenge each of you to start making a list of women that have expressed interest in the business and also include women who you may not have asked about joining Thirty-One.  Call them and start setting up recruiting appointments.  Email me your success stories!  To assist you, below are a list of Recruiting Appointment Interview Questions to use during the one on one meeting:

1.  Tell me why you agreed to see me today?

2. Have you ever done anything like this before?

3. What other work experiences have you had?

4. What clubs or organizations do your or your children belong to?

5. How will your family feel if you join Thirty-One?

6. How much time could you devote to this each week?

7. How much money would you like to make? What will you spend it on? (Your Why)

*On a scale of 1-10 (1 being "no way" and 10 being "sign me up". What would it take you to get to a 10?

We also talked about a "RECIPE FOR RELAXATION" for creating a sponsoring bag to give to potential recruits. Use the following and put on a pretty piece of paper. In a gift bag include a catalog, recruiting flyer or Living Your Dreams brochure, a Thirty-One map and the following items:  votive candle, tea bag, chocolate, bath crystals or shower gel.

Recipe:

Pamper yourself and consider the possibility of owning your own business....I will call you in a few days to follow up.

Step 1 - Light a votive candle

Step 2 - Make a cup of tea

Step 3 - Eat a piece of chocolate

Step 4 - Fill your bathtub with bath crystals

Step 5 - Red the enclosed information

Step 6 - Think about what this opportunity can do for you

TEAM (Together Everyone Achieves More) Training with "The Crayon Box That Talked" book:

It relays that we are each unique and have different traits and as a team we can draw on all our strengths to build a strong team.

How does a box of crayons relate to a TEAM?  As Jen Alfieri said at the meeting- "Without one of them they all fall out".  And Kathy Ciokjlo said "You can create your own picture".
