Hello once again.
Hello once again faithful readers, and a happy monday to you. And a very happy halloween to you as well I trust your day has been successfull I hope. If not then why?????
Today I spent some time with a new member of my team who has just come on board and is raring to go, we spent some time doing a quick recap of his skills training. And answering any questions or concerns that he may have, but most importantly was to set out a plan of action over the next month. And agreeing on some goals for him to focus on. What I have learned from part experience is that overloading new team members will not help them to grow successfully businesses, but that team members really need to learn one thing and one thing only and get good at it.
So we have cone up with an action plan for him to gather six customers and two team members with my help, what's more I have assured him that I am always there for him, and he is my priority, and my success is determined on his success.
One thing that I did say is that he must never ever feel that however little niggle he has he must phone me with any questions that he feels relevent and it doesn't matter how many times in the day he calls that it doesn't matter how little the matter is, what I believe that I have done is cemented a good source of trust and support. I advised no I don't know everything but I'm here to keep him on the right track.
We also discussed list building and following the system and sticking to it, the importance in team building which appears now relevant is duplication and how duplication will help to grow a strong business.
So what are my plans tomorrow??? Follow up appointments and looking for new businesses, I have figured that the presentation takes very little ti e to do and really I do need to be speakng to more people about it.
So how many distributors can I get in november well I only need another three top line, as my brother is on board in a fortnight. So I guess I better get done to it.
Have a great week.
PS
update on the hallway is coming soon so stay posted.

Another great start to the week-
Well here we are again readers, another week is here I wonder how all your businesses are going in what ever you do??????
I personally have had a great yet challenging week so far but boy its worth it. As challenges are what keep us young and the mind active.
It started yesterday when I went out for a one to one with another member of my networking chapter, to find out more about about their business. Now here is a hot tip to learn if your networking with other businesses. You must have a selfless attitude and as a cardinal rule you must never ever, network with a mind of how to get business for yourself, but how to get business for other people. It is when you adopt that philosophy that automatically you will find you will automatically get business back. Let me explain by telling my story.
Yesterday while having a meeting with my fellow member I always first like to tell them about my business second (never be too eager to explain about your business.) And secondly I like to do this as a mark of respect to my fellow business men (women.)
So the person I was in a meeting with was an electrician by trade, and I took done a lot of information about his business and how I might be able to get him more business in the future. Now when ever I have one to one's in my network meetings on wednesdays we are not allowed to actively recruit during meetings. Only genuibe business is allowed to be passed. But I do like to use one to ones because not only does it get to explain about my products, but also about the opportunity because you never know who may sign up in this game.
Something that I definately was taught yesterday, because although I thought that my colleague knew all about my business it turns out that he in fact knew very little. So when I presented the products I could tell that he was more than impressed and I could actually see him thinking and utilising the services for himself.
But what was more interesting was the fact when I presented the business opportunity to him and asked if he would like to get started he didn't hesitste to say yes. Which I was Impressed by his confidence in the company although he had only learned of it ten minutes before hand. So two things again are know, like and trust, and people will make snap decisions where necessary that they feel it would fit.
So then further to that I had another appointment with a consultant regarding my back. So during the consultation, he asked me what I did which I said to him that I saved people money and explained how my product worked, then he asked if we provided services for businesses and I said yes. Another customer appointment in the making, and honest I never even went in to promote my business I didn't really.

The last weeks worth of acivities.
Now its sunday evening and im fired wired and inspired for the week ahead. It thought it would be good to let you all know about the last weeks worth of activities. I feel that the week has gone so quickly.
I was honoured to be invited to a meeting with Mo Pemberton my upline senior group leader in the company, over at Lytham St Annes. I was so inspired by Mo's story and thrilled at the chance to go and meet some new people that I decided to go across.
The meeting was held at the leyland hotel just off the M6 and there was about 22 members there. I learned first hand all about solar energy and where my business is best in the market, as solar energy is sure to be the way forward.
I was also asked to speak about business club customer gathering, which I gave the same talk as I did in the saturday team event, so when I finished I was overwhelmed to see a rush of raised hands and a lot of questions which I hope I gave my best answers to.
Once the meeting hand ended I had some phenominal feedback from the people in the group some saying it was like a breath of fresh air, I really could not say how overwhelmed I have been with positive comments. Clearly it does pay to go the distance, no matter what if you get such positive results that spur you on.
I also have been networking alot with other members and businesses alike to find out about their businesses. For instance on thursday I went to my first event at the mussel club a social networking site but also for businesses. They were holding a exhibition on the different businesses, so I walked round and got to speak to a few members in the region. Each stand had a competition where you would put a business card in the jar to win a prize. I was most fortunate to find out that I have won a profile and coaching session. Great time to meet someone new show her how my business works and ask her honest opinion, seeing she is in the training and coaching field.
I also have a presentation to do in the morning with someone that I know who is wanting a change in her life, so I literally have told her im looking for people like that, who are willing to go the distance.
Today also has been a great day we had a home meeting which we covered some aspects of goal setting, solar energy and learned new things. One member of the team updated our facebook page and said was great to be with positive like minded people.
So whats my plans this week, my brother has just come into the business so I will take time to train and coach him, to my level. Primarily will be presentations and customer gathering as always although one thing I will try and promise, I will try is that I will update more through the week.
