A Success Survey

A number of direct sellers are telling me that in this challenging economy, it’s tough to “get up and get going” to make their businesses work. Sure it’s tough! But as they say, when the going gets tough, the tough get going. Don’t let a sluggish economy slow you down! Instead of looking for excuses, look for opportunities.

To help you get started this week, take 5 minutes to answer these 5 questions. Think of this as a Success Survey. Then, please email your completed Success Survey to me at Ilene@ilenemeckley.com, your upline and/or a friend. I want to learn how you are building a stronger business 5 ways.

1. How much money do you want to earn this month? _______________. How much money you want or need to earn is one of your Purposes.  We have many Purposes. Your Purpose could be to gain confidence in public speaking; or to make new friends; or to earn a company incentive such as a trip or a cruise. Determining your Purpose is the first step in achieving your Purpose.

2. Who could use a “Customer Care” call from you? ________________. Call someone who could benefit by hearing your voice. Ask if they need more products, if they’d like to book a party, or if they would just like to talk. When we care about others, show genuine concern for another person’s well-being, we are giving of ourselves. Who can you call?

3. Who do you know needs additional income? _____________________. Perhaps you have heard about someone who recently lost a job, or who is struggling to pay the bills, or has a growing family. Many people you know could use a little more income. Let these individuals know about your business opportunity. Your call could be the call that changes a life for the better.

4. Which member of your team could use a positive word of encouragement?____________. Whether your team numbers a few or into the hundreds, there are team members who need your encouraging words. Take a moment to call a member of your team.  Thank her for her efforts. Congratulate her on a recent accomplishment. Invite her to lunch. Reach out and inspire.

5. How can you make your business stronger? ____________________. List at least one thing you can do today to make your business stronger. Perhaps there is a motivational article in a magazine you have set aside to read later. Is it time to pick it up and give it a read? Is there a motivational tape you have wanted to try? From time to time, we all need to recharge our motivational batteries.  What can you do today to power up? I hope this Success Survey has helped you. Send it to everyone you know, and please send your completed copy to me. I look forward to hearing from you today!
