Why being Great at Recruiting isn’t Enough
Recruiting most would say is hard. Maybe because my company gives up amazing lead pages and tracking, or because I am SO energetic with the “great opportunity”…that wasn’t my challenge! The hardest thing I have had to learn growing a network marketing team is leadership! And hell, I have been great at it in other areas in my life, even to the point of teaching it! LOL! It’s different in this world, especially if you use leads (cold market) to grow your business. I have no relationship with them.
Then I recalled when a family member, Dick, a person I have loved and respected, died. I knew this man on a personal level, as a father, friend, husband, and grandfather. He was a great man! I remembered his memorial, many that worked with him also shared how great he was there. There is where I had an epiphany: Dick chose to lead not just at work but in life. He chose to possess the characteristic of leadership…all the time. He was:
- Visionary
- Mentored and was a role model
- Didn’t take himself too seriously
- Chose to see the best in every person
- Saw the potential in others
- Practiced giving without ever expecting
- Had high standards
- Challenged you to be your best
- Came from a place of adventure
- Always came from love
- Knew solutions were possible
- Made family first.
What’s the point? I have realized that I must role model these to people that sign up with me! I was too bust letting the “great opportunity” lead! These characteristics are critical for your success. People in his life wanted to follow him. And you need others to want to follow you: especially those that sign up. So I had to”
- Make a choice
- Understand leadership is key
- Pick one of these amazing characteristics above and incorporate it in my life 100% of the time and if you do, I guarantee you will:
- Get better results
- Improve loyalty from others
- Enjoy life more
- Truly be successful
- And grow your business!
What will you do to choose to lead?
