Nothing moves fast in the land of the lost....
Are you disheartened by your team's lack of production? Has it been a slow month for you as a recruiter or distributor? There are inevitable 'slow' times in any business in the marketplace whether it be network marketing, small business, or even at the corporate level.
Don't let this time be your downfall! Don't let a slower production month cause you to veer off course into a "business depression..." Stay calm and focused, and just have faith-- things will pick up! You do not want a slower time to determine the future of your entire business! Just continue onward, maintaining your daily activities-- it should be business as usual! Remember the law of averages -- There are 4 "aces" in every deck of cards, you just have to discover where in the deck they may be found!! You cannot make a "3" or a "7" into "Aces", it just is not possible!
Another important reminder in slower times is to keep the positive mindset flowing through your team. This can be readily accomplished through regular encouragement and support --keep in regular contact to track your team members' progress, praise them on their successes and encourage them not to give up on their temporary setbacks (as far as I am concerned, there are NO failures - there are only temporary setbacks). Your team will look to you for leadership in tough times and if they think you are down, they will be down too...you do NOT want this! The sake of your business depends on your ability to remain optimistic and teach others to do the same!
Just stress the importance of attending weekly briefings and training sessions -- ensure that the members of your team are properly equipped to produce (so that lack of production is not due to lack of training or skill knowledge) and keep your team fine-tuned on their routines and work habits, even in slower times...your team will be that much better off when things pick up again!
In slower times or even busy times, you always want to stress that the customer comes first- customers are key to your business and you want to ensure that they are satisfied! Take time out to write personal "Thank You" cards to your customers, these do not go unnoticed! In today's digital world, handwritten cards are rare but still greatly valued as this adds a personal touch that connects you with the customer and makes them feel special.
Have a great day!
