A quick update on the Volcano!  It’s quite an amazing show it’s giving us, and many people aren’t allowed into the National Park til things die down a bit.  Here you can see my darling grandsons on a hike through the exquisite trails all over the park. We are safe as we live on the other side of the island over 150 miles away. However, there are people who live in that area that have lost their homes, or been displaced because of the noxious fumes in their area.  So, today I’m heading to Costco to put together a care package of bottled water, shampoo and basic needs to send to these people who don’t know when they’ll be allowed back home.  Natural disasters are thing we have to deal with and we pray that no-one (as yet) has lost any life.

Two things I recommend to focus on now!

#1 Summer Plans

These are two great questions to ask yourself about your team.  Summer is such an important time and you don’t want to lose the momentum you’ve built with your team in the past 5 months!  So, to keep your team inspired, the first question is 

“Do you need your team selling “more?”  In other words, does your team have the potential to increase their sales with a little bit of effort?  If so, then, think about ways you can inspire and motivate them to sell more over the next 3 months!

Perhaps you have a team that is selling at their maximum capacity and you are extremely pleased with the team volume they place every month.  Then, now is the time to think about the question, “Do I need “more” team members selling?”    That simply means in the next three months, figure how many MORE team members do you want to add, and how will you focus on helping your present team members recruit more!

#2 Focus right now is Conference! (or convention)

Imagine having the MOST team members ever attend your conference/convention this year?  Putting the focus NOW on promoting the importance of attending.  You have about 8 to 10 weeks to reach out, work with team members and help them plan to attend this once a year momentous event!  Again, it takes careful planning.  You’ll find most  people don’t attend their conference/convention because of three things..

• Can’t afford it
• Don’t want to leave kids and family
• Don’t think they will get much out of it.

That’s where you as their leader, must STEP UP and show them the AMAZING benefits of being together with like-minded people and the incredible learning opportunity they have to expand and grow themselves.  To help you put the focus on this, here’s my FREE “Team Building at Convention” handout.
