Say
hello to the little coach!
Well,
it's been a pretty crazy month for me. As many of you
already know, I recently found out I'm going to be a
father!
Liz
and I are both thrilled, and I look forward to sharing stories
of the challenges this new member of the household will pose to our
business.
It's
going to be a wild ride! Stay tuned!
Lots
to share and talk about this month, including a new product (SIMB
coffee mugs!) AND a new column aimed at trying to help you
determine which 'business-building' ideas are actually going to
help you build your business.
Enjoy!

Now
is the Time to Try A
Better
Your Best Incentive!
|
|
As
you start the new quarter, you're probably thinking
about how you and your downline are going to finish up
the year. One incentive that can help you all
finish strong is "Better Your Best."
In
a "Better Your Best" incentive, you challenge
your downline to outperform their best or last (your
choice) quarter by a certain percentage (for example,
50%).
By
making the incentive about percentages, rather than the
same dollar amount for everyone, you give everyone in
your downline the opportunity to participate. It
doesn't matter if they sold $1000 or $3000 last
quarter. The incentive challenges both of them.
If
you want to institute a "Better Your Best"
challenge, you have to do so now. Make your
downline register for the challenge within the next
week. And require them to report their results at
the end of the quarter. This keeps them actively
participating and saves you a lot of work.

Why
the Most Original Minds in Business Win

William
C. Taylor and Polly LaBarre
More
and more these days, my clients are telling me that the
'same old, same old' doesn't work like it used
to.
If
you feel that way, too, you may find inspiration in this
book - a collection of 32 stories about executives who
re-invented the wheel and achieved great success.

Stamping
Business Q&A
How
Do I Get My Downline (and Myself) to Make Phone Calls?
For
the last couple of years, I've been promoting the PHONE
CIRCLE as a way to encourage you and your downline to
make phone calls.
The
phone circle works like this: invite your downline to
your house (or another location). Each person has
to bring a cell phone and a call list. Then, sit
in a circle and (with everyone else watching) have each
person take a turn making a call. You should be
able to get around the circle four or five times.
Having
everyone else watch accomplishes several things - 1.
everyone learns, 2. everyone draws inspiration from
someone else's successful call, 3. everyone offers
support when a call doesn't go well and 4. everyone
makes calls they probably wouldn't have made otherwise!
Try
it, and see what kind of results YOU get!
(If
there's a question you'd like answered, or a topic you'd
like me to cover, feel free
to
send
me an e-mail)

After
your live presentation, I couldn't get
to sleep. My brain was racing!
- RS,
California
Thanks
for another great coaching call
tonight. You put out so much good info tonight, my mind is
still racing!

KL, California
I
just wanted to thank you for doing such a terrific job (coaching
me)! You know how much I dread making phone calls- I'd rather go
to the dentist. Well just now I made 2 very difficult phone calls
that I have been putting off for over a year!!! One was a customer
who still hadn't paid me for an order in May of 2005!! You gave me
the confidence to be assertive and I finally got my $60 from her! Once I
got those done with, I made 5 more customer service calls. I am
really excitied- I think this was a turning point for me! Thanks a ton!
