Recruiting

To get yourself in the right mindset for recruiting, understand all you’re really doing is realizing in your heart that you have something special to share with people and it comes wrapped up in a product or service and a business opportunity.  That business opportunity can be a gold mine if you share it often and don’t pre-judge. If he or she doesn’t want the opportunity at that moment, that’s ok. You shared it and you’ll never know, maybe at another time it will be something that they would be willing to hear more about.

Relax.  Don’t recruit with desperation.  So many people get caught up on their words needing to be perfect, or presenting themselves the “right way,” etc.  Your greatest chance of getting a positive response when recruiting is to come from a place of service and gratitude, while giving the gift you have to offer. 

E

Enthusiasm.  Enthusiasm is excitement that comes from your core, so it lasts longer, is more stable and gives you a magnetic quality.  Enthusiasm grows from belief in the products and/or services you provide plus the passion you have for helping others with the business opportunity.   It’s a great ingredient for recruiting. And remember, the last four letters of enthusiasm are — iasm which means "I am sold myself"

C

Care.  There is no substitute for truly caring about people.  If you truly care about people, they will feel it, and they will be open to what you have to say and what you have to offer. Put your own personal agenda aside.  Show you care by having a genuine interest in others’ goals and dreams.  Your opportunity has the potential to provide this and you can show them how. As Mary Kay Ash once said, "People won't care how much you know, until they know how much you care".

I

Invite.  Invite people to the next step, nothing more.  If you’re just meeting someone, it’s inviting them to give you their name and number so you can follow up.  If they’ve already been contacted, you can invite them to a weekly meeting, get on a 3-way call,  or watch a video, etc..  Invite people and then let them decide.  

P

Practice. When you get into action by consistently inviting people with relaxed care and enthusiasm, you get good at it.  Momentum comes when you take action and it allows you to stay in forward motion.  By inviting over and over again, you’ll get good at it.  “It is better to begin with fault than to hesitate perfectly.”  You will never get good at anything by hesitating.  Stay real & authentic and stop worrying about what to say or how they might respond.  Practice does not make perfect, because perfection doesn’t exist, but practice makes permanent.  It allows you to create a habit, which leads to confidence.

E

Enjoy.  I live by the phrase, “Enjoy what you do and do what you enjoy,” and it’s an important piece of not only your business, but your life.  You can’t enjoy your business when you have expectations of others, so release those expectations and let them decide.    If you focus on fun & fulfillment, people will want to follow you.
