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".

July Consultant Challenge

Here is your July Consultant Challenge should you choose to accept it!!

There are 40 of us on our team and every one of us is need to achieve our goal this month!!! The challenge has 2 parts and 2 ways to win; Bookings and Sponsoring!!!!!

BOOKINGS CHALLENGE:
When we reach 40 total home parties (catalog parties do not count) for the month of July I will give away $25 in NEW Fall Thirty-One merchandise of your choice to one lucky winner!!! What a great way to add an item or 2 to your kit. For each party you book or have booked and is listed on the team google calendar for July you will get 1 entry into the drawing. If you have 6 or more home parties booked in July you will earn double tickets. The consultant who has the most home parties booked will receive 10 extra tickets. You must have your show dates listed on the calendar by July 31st to receive credit for the drawing. We already have 18 home parties listed so we are almost halfway to reaching our team goal!!!!

So what do I need from you? I need to know your party dates!! All you have to do is enter your home parties on the calendar at www.google.com/calendar. Sign in using email address: kwashin@tampabay.rr.com and password: thirtyone. Once you have clicked on the current calendar you just need to click on the date of your show and a window will pop up asking you what the event is. Just put your name and HP(home party). If you have any questions, please let me know.

SPONSORING CHALLENGE:
Our team goal is to sponsor 10 new consultants during July. When we reach 10 there will be a drawing. For every new consultant you sign up during July you will get 1 entry into a drawing for $15 of NEW Fall Thirty-One merchandise of your choice. If you sign up 3 consultants you will get double the entries! All I need you to do is ask every customer, every hostess and every person you meet. If you don’t share the opportunity you never know whose life you could have changed. And, you are not doing your job if you don’t offer the GIFT of Thirty-One.
