Will people fail in sponsoring, even in this amazingly fantastic environment of a recession?
OF COURSE.
The reason is not that they are hopeless.
Firstly, some people just will not work. Even in a great network, you will still get up to 10% of people who should never have agreed to be a networker. [Yes, only 10%]
The best thing is to actually kick these people out before they quit and tell everyone your business doesn't work. If you value your reputation you will do this.
This leaves people who want to build a network and will work for it. Why do so few of these people sponsor five people? Yes, five people. EVERYONE is capable of sponsoring a minimum of five people.
Forget those lame excuses of "not motivated" or "not committed". EVERYONE has the motivation inside them IF you release it.
Your products, plan, tools, events, company support, etc are terrific AND now the market is perfect.
So the reason people do not sponsor a minimum of five people is that either they are incapable OR the leader and their system is somehow flawed.
Point One - EVERYONE is capable of sponsoring at least five people BECAUSE they can learn skills until they are competent. FACT. UNCHALLENGEABLE. NO ARGUMENTS ACCEPTED.
The only reason you could believe differently is that you are new, or you are still working one of those dinosaur [1990s style] "Recruiting Game" strategies; "throw the mud against the wall and see what sticks".
Point Two - As well as competence based, they need to be adapted to the recession. And that's a leader's job.
Recessions mean things must change. Only slightly, yet enough to be the difference between success and failure.
Never say "well, it worked like that when I built it a few years ago [in the boom], so lets do and say the same things." Groan. Those leaders need to be shot.
Unfortunately, 99.999% of networkers today were not leaders in the last 1990s recession and even those that were cannot remember what was different. Well, the key to success is CONFIDENCE.
Confidence in everything.
People don't sponsor because you don't build their confidence.
People don't sponsor because they don't understand the state of confidence in the market and how to turn this to their advantage.
Think about it.
Carpe Diem - seize the day
