Prospecting Perseverance!

Gail — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 11:02:41 +0000

Prospecting Perseverance!

Today I have to blog about one of my sales leaders Dawn Eccles

Dawn has 2 boys aged 3 and 7 and Dawn has been an Avon lady for 4 years now and is a Presidents Club Member too.

Recently Dawn found the pressures of her Full time job too much and decided to try a “Work From Home Business” with Avon Sales Leadership.

Not only has she taken to the business like a duck to water she has become such a vibrant and energetic woman with it. She has managed to inspire others to follow her lead in such a short space of time that she is clearly a natural born leader.

With only 1 hour here and one hour there Dawn manages her time and prioritizes it impeccably. Just this morning she text me to say “Off out Prospecting this morning, wish me luck”….

Within minutes another text pings through “WooHoo, the 1st door I knocked and I got a new team member!”

There is no way that you could teach this type of enthusiasm, you simply have it or you don’t.

Dawn is an inspiration to other women out there that don’t think they could possibly manage running a business around their kids. Well she proves you can!

Inspiring people come in all shapes sizes ages and colour, who is your inspiration and why don’t you aspire to be the same?

7 tips for productive prospecting

1. Always make time to do it! regardless of how you “Feel” about it. Prospecting builds your confidence and every recruiter should be doing it.

2. Don’t be put of by the No’s, it isn’t personal it just isn’t for them today.

3. Remember why you are prospecting…You are offering an amazing opportunity for someone to Earn An Extra Income.

4. Prospecting is not about YOU!..Sell the opportunity & the benefits correctly and confidently and the rest happens naturally

5. Always have a personal “Leads Book” a small note pad for the names and numbers of people that show an interest

6. Follow up on those prospects, each month make a call to those that haven’t joined yet, their personal circumstances may have changed by now and this might be the right time!

7. The more you prospect the more team members you will find (It’s the law of averages) If you ask 100 people and 1 says Yes, then ask 200 tomorrow and get 2 Yes’s!

HAPPY PROSPECTING
