Take Good Care In Choosing The Right Person When Recruiting

I want to tell you about my dealings with this person named Ms. Q.

Ms. Q. has several kids and is also giving a good effort in this business and that's a more challenging task. However, if you become friends and wish to keep in contact with her, limit it to no more than email and give her 48-72 hours to reply. Or if it's something that anyone in your team can use, and it's not personal, then put it in the team bulletin board.

After my short dealings with her, I found out the hard way that I'm glad we're going separate ways. The lessons I learned are when I prospect to someone like her, I'll remember to let them know that I'm looking for someone who is serious and will do the business no matter what it takes.

If they feel that they're getting intruded in their personal lives, or they feel that they won't be able to put in the 10-15 hours that it takes to do the business, I suggest you immediately disqualify them and say No first. There's little reason for you to be dealing with a prospect who's not serious about the business.

Make sure that when you successfully signed up people who have a genuine interest in a home-based business and who will do this business no matter what it takes, be sure to invest in them. It is in both your best interests and those of the people in your team to help them in their business, teach them to recruit like aces, and become leaders.

Otherwise, you're going to have some conflict with them and you're going to wind up having to replace that person.

So if you're not sure about that person, don't bring them to the business. As Dani Johnson said, you're going to drag them wherever you go if you bring in an unsure person.

When you hit that recruiting trail, deal with prospects with a positive life force. If they're too abrasive, or they yell at you and say "What is this about (with an unpleasant tone)?" then just get out of the conversation. You don't need people like that in your team. What you want are people who are willing to make your investment in them worth it. That is, you willing to help them and them willing to do their part, no matter what it takes for them to get to their next goal.

Well I've said enough.
