Getting Your New Distributor Started

The cycle of duplication begins and ends with getting your new Distributor started. It is important to understand that once you have successfully brought a new Distributor into your organization, you become their coach and mentor. The more successful you are at coaching them to be confident in talking to and approaching others, and disciplined in following the system, the more successful you will become in turning your goals and your organization's goals into reality.

Always remember that your success is 100 percent dependent upon the success of your new Distributor. The two most important things about getting a new Distributor started are to get them started quickly and to get them started properly. If you don't, they are likely to become frustrated and quit.

Within 24 hours of a new Distributor joining your organization, you need to schedule time with them to help get them started.

Here are some steps for getting a new Distributor started:

1. Understand your new Distributor's goals and objectives
2. Review your new Distributor's prospect list
3. Ensure your new Distributor has purchased the right amount of sales tools and understands how to use them to build his/her business
4. Review the duplicatable system for prospecting and recruiting
5. Develop a 30-day prospecting plan
6. Begin prospecting immediately-massive action in the first 30 days will drive excitement, belief and results

Here are some tips for working with your new Distributors:

• Encourage your new Distributors to get started quickly-momentum will drive their business-building efforts
• Lead by example. Only do things you want your new Distributors to do. The things you say and do will be duplicated by your new Distributors and through their organizations
• Focus on building relationships with your new Distributors. This is a relationship-driven business
• Don't tell people what to do, be a teacher. Explain to them what they should do and why they should do it
• Be patient with your new Distributors. You were new at one time. Give them a chance to get comfortable and confident
• Don't put more into a new Distributor's business than they are willing to do. Remember, you cannot want them to succeed more than they do themselves
• Always build belief in your new Distributors as there are "dream stealers" around every corner

Above all else, be accessible, be visible and be patient with your new Distributors and you will be pleased with the results!
