Message  Mary/OH  Team Training Room   Hello from Ohio.
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   Julie, where in Oregon do you live?
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   Lisa you get the felt mini background biz card samples
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   Our first topic of the day is Strategic planning for 2008!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   It's a new year and a fresh start for everyone!
Message  Julie/OR  Team Training Room   Actually I live Vietnam right now but I'm from Portland
Message  Lisa/UT  Team Training Room   Thanks, sorry. I do remember now. I'll try and pay more attention.
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   Are you charged up to make 2008 GREAT???
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   Sure am
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   Have you set your goals???
Message  Andrea/NV  Team Training Room   yes!
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   yes
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   Yes
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   Do you have a plan on how you will accomplish them??
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   kind of
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   Setting goals is actually the EASY part
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   The real work is making them happen RIGHT?
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   Right
Message  Andrea/NV  Team Training Room   right!
Message  Mary/OH  Team Training Room   right
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   Did you know that one of the top reasons people don't reach their goals is due to poor time management???
Message  Mary/OH  Team Training Room   That's true for me.
Message  Christina/CA  Team Training Room   I believe it!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   So we are going to talk a little about time strategies and leave you with some tools to help you be great in 2008!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   Check this out:
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   One hour of planning will save 10 hours of doing.
Message  Andrea/NV  Team Training Room   WOW!!!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   The average person gets oneinterruption every 8 minutes or approximately 7 an hour, or 50-60 a day!
Message  Lisa/UT  Team Training Room   I read something yesterday that was talking about goal setting. It said that you should start every long term goal with at least one small goal that you can accomplish within 24 hours.
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   The average interruption takes 5 minutes, totaling about 4 hours, or 50% of the average "work day"
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   80% of those interruptions are actually rated as "little value" or "no value" creating approximately 3 HOURS of wasted time per DAY
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   How can we avoid that?
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   a person with a 'messy' or cluttered desk spends on average 1/5 hours a day looking for things or being distracted by things
Message  Christina/CA  Team Training Room   you have us all on the edge of our seats
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   this equals 7.5 hours a WEEK
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   out of sight out of mind - when it's in sight its INmind
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   here is a concept that blew me away
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   Time Management is an issue of integrity.
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   think about it
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   I agree
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   Any time you move away from the standards you set for yourself, you are out of integrity with yourself
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   whether through action, reaction or non action
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   the next time you have an issue with a task or a goal you set for yourself, ask yourself a simple question
Message  Mary/OH  Team Training Room   I need to set the standards in the first place.
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   am i 'in integrity' by not doing this or by ignoring it?'
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   well the first thing to do is
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   to know how you spend your time
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   for 5 days, record what you do, write down every little thing all day you are awake
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   analyze where your time goes
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   this is an eye opener
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   discover your time robbers
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   here is a trick
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   on your wall calendar or planner book
Message  Mary/OH  Team Training Room   I can do that in my daily planner book that has times in it.
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   put a tiny square within every box on the calendar that stands for a 'work day' for you
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   make the box just big enough to write a #
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   let's say you've set a goal to book 4 parties a month
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   and to do that you feel you need to make 2 phone calls a day on your 'work day'
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   so at the end of the day, write the # of calls you MADE on each work day
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   the box is too small for excuses!!!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   just write the #
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   hold yourself ACCOUNTABLE for your actions, then you will be in integrity with yourself
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   that will help hold us accountable
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   imagine what will happen if you follow through EVERY DAY if you talk to 2 people about your business every day IMAGINE what will happen to your business
Message  Christina  Team Training Room   I need to do that! I've been slacking
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   whether they say YEs or NO or not now or whatever just IMAGINE over time if you talked to 2 people every day you SAID you are going to
Message  Mary/OH  Team Training Room   That makes it sound less overwhelming.
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   you can do this for any goal
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   BUT
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   business wise, focus on INCOME producing activities
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   your time should be spent 80% on income producing activities and 20% on non income producing activities
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   what are some income producing activities you can think of?
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   i'll give an example
Message  Rachel/TX  Team Training Room   booking
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   hostess coaching phone call
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   booking call
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   good rachel what else
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   networking with people
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   register for an event
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   not the registration but the BEING there is income producing
Message  Mary/OH  Team Training Room   get hostess packets ready
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   no
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   DOING the party is though
Message  Rachel/TX  Team Training Room   after party customer calls, upsell, book
Message  Mary/OH  Team Training Room   calling someone to book a party
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   getting the packets ready does not produce the income, doing the party does though
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   right customer service calls great
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   even follow up emails can produce income
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   it has to be something that involves SEEING or TALKING to people
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   80% of your "work time" should be spent SEEING or TALKING to people
Message  Mary/OH  Team Training Room   sounds like you mean activities that involve other people
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   visiting schools day cares, etc
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   that isn't to say that the paperwork isnt IMPORTANT it is we have to do it
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   but it will not result in income
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   but we need the business before we can do the paper work
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   but spend 20% of your time on the paperwork part
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   do not spend all your time getting ready to get ready or you will end up with a bunch of paperwork and no income!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   Think about the tasks that need to be done daily
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   Schedule and PLAN your time
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   group like activities togther, you'll be more efficient
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   if you know you are "on" in the morning, schedule your "people" tasks then
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   if you are dragging in the afternoon, schedule your "paper" tasks then
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   do important tasks when you are y our personal best
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   then PLAN for tomorrow - every day
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   make a list, knowing where you're going
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   also know your weaknesses and manage your time robbers
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   so here are some Qs to get you thinking about this next year
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   i posted these on my blog and shared on the yahoogroup the other day but i am picking out some of my favorites
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   you can see all of them at http://www.karen-clark.com
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   under 'training'
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   think about this
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   What advice would you give yourself in 2008?
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   Talk about my business more often
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   What are you most committed to changing and improving in 2008?
Message  Mary/OH  Team Training Room   stop thinking and start acting
Message  Mary/OH  Team Training Room   dive in and don't listen to the fear
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   what one word would you like to have as a theme for 2008?
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   thats great mary
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   here's the thing
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   doing more parties
Message  Awnya/AZ  Team Training Room   prosperity
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   honestly, even brand new people "know" how to do the business
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   it's a matter of committing to doing it, and doing it
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   you can ask questions till you are blue in the face, read the manual a bazillion times, come to all the trainings
Message  Mary/OH  Team Training Room   my word will be Engaging
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   but none of that helps until you put it into action
Message  Christina  Team Training Room   Karen I think it's fear of rejection holding us back (or me at least) I need to get over that
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   i totally understand that, sometimes you have to just dive in and work through it by doing it! face your fears!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   just do the little square in your calendar trick
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   even shoot for 1
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   if you arent talking to ANY people start with shooting for 1 a day
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   so you can put that 1 in that square!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   if you do it every day for a week reward yourself!
Message  Christina  Team Training Room   yeah I think I am going to do that little square, makes it less intimidating!
Message  Mary/OH  Team Training Room   I think I will start with one a day, so I can be successful right away
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   i think thats a great idea!
Message  Christina  Team Training Room   kind of like weight loss lol
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   ending with this question
Message  Lisa/UT  Team Training Room   A good friend of mine always says that the difference between people who are successful and those who aren't is that successful people do the things that failures don't like to do. If a failure isn't willing to put themselves in positions of being rejected... Then the only way to success, is put yourself in the position of getting rejected... it will lead to some yeses and... success.
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   what major indulgence are you willing to experience in 2008???
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   exactly lisa, the only difference is the successful ones KEPT GOING
Message  Christina  Team Training Room   Lisa I agree! I like that 100 Nos idea...I need to do that too
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   OK ladies it is time for our door prize drawing and for me to make sure I have everyone in the drawing box!!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   3 minute break then we are back in action!
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   I'm here!
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   great advice
Message  Lisa/UT  Team Training Room   exactly, becuase a failure would quit, so to be successful, you have to keep setting new goals and keeping them.
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   is there anyone here who was not a Yes on the Evite rsvp??
Message  Christina  Team Training Room   I filled out the drawing form last night before I went to bed so I could be prepared...so I don't need to fill out one this morning right?
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   You put me on didn't you?
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   the way i am doing the drawings is i printed the list and cut them apart, if you RSVP you got 2 entries, everyone else who comes in i will write on slips
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   no that is fine christina

Message  Deana/UT  Team Training Room   Congrats, Lois! Sorry my computer is a mess lately!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   i highly encourage you all to go to BIG training like the DSWA convention for more intense training on these topics :)
Message  Christina  Team Training Room   Snippets are nice Karen
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   The next topic is building a team!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   this is an area that intimidates people sometimes
Message  Joy/Ut  Team Training Room   Yes Jennifer I should be at your meeting. I will invite my team
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   or they think it isn't really necessary so i am not going to recruit, i like just selling
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   Great
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   but how many of you feel like story time felts has enriched your life in some way
Message  Christina  Team Training Room   ME
Message  Andrea/NV  Team Training Room   me
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   me
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   Me, definitely!
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   I want to build a team
Message  Lois/NC  Team Training Room   Yes
Message  Julie/OR  Team Training Room   me too!
Message  EveLeCheminant  Team Training Room   yes!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   when you do not 'recruit' it is like keeping that opportunity all to yourself
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   this business is a blessing in our lives
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   and blessings should be shared! imagine if OTHERS had this
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   I want to teach others about STF
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   how wonderful it would be
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   a lot of us have this burning desire to grow our business
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   but the gap between where you are today and that vision of true success
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   is filled with members yet to be recruited
Message  Deana/UT  Team Training Room   yes - its' enriched my life! (I was getting some cereal :)
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   building a team is SO rewarding for yoy and for them
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   thanks deana i knew it had hehe
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   Usually it's the initial investment that scares people off
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   pehaps you are uncomfortable with sponsoring becuase you feel you need to be aggressive to succeed
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   actually
Message  Lori/UT  Team Training Room   or your worried about being a leader
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   if they knew they could succeed the $ wouldnt scare them
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   at the other end of the spectrum
Message  Mary/OH  Team Training Room   I'm intimidated by the time demand b/c I work full time, but I should just start with doing parties and focus on that, and don't worry about future things (which will overwhelm me and hold me back).
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   maybe you are the type that approaches recruiting with pushiness that alienates people
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   Look at it this way, if you don't know the answer, you can always find out from our group here
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   true success when sponsoring comes when
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   you see the process as an opportunity to connect and serve
Message  Deana/UT  Team Training Room   I have made $10,000 in this business in 5 years - the initial investment is really nothing!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   rather than an obligation to share and convince
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   exactly deana
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   we have talked in chats and elsehwere about principle centered sponsoring
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   i will just briefly touch on it here but look into it deeper, it is wonderful
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   Did you know that the DSWA extended the offer for the free PCS course if you register by tonight?
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   for the convention
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   when you learn the concepts of that, any tendency to be overly tentative OR intense naturally disappears
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   YES i thought it was by the 9th
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   check the website if you havent yet registered
Message  JenF/UT  Team Training Room   Maybe, I can't remember exactly
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   so thikn about sponsoring as connecting with someone
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   and they will be ATTRACTED to your opportunity
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   sponsoring involves the person you are being and your ability to connect with others - plain and simple
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   we all have our own styles there is no "wrong" way to connect, but you need to connect!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   it will evolve for you over time
Message  Joy/Ut  Team Training Room   Loving your product and business helps in recruiting. I love the friends I have made.
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   you will need to build rapport with prospects by integrating the 5 principles into your every day business activities
Message  Lori/UT  Team Training Room   me too Joy, love all of you!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   principles = trust, respect, service, integrity, authenticity
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   Karen, I like the way that you are so helpful and supportive and not pushy.
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   vicki what i want you to do is duplicate that
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   thats all there is to it!
Message  Deana/UT  Team Training Room   I am going to try to connect better with each hostess for a start so she will want to join my team!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   LOL ok maybe a little more but BE someone people want to do business with
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   That's my style any way, not pushy but I like to be helpful
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   the 5 steps of principle centered sponsoring will give yo ua framework to use
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   That a good idea Deana about the hostess
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   if you are working your business consistently you wil be meeting people all the time
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   make connections with them
Message  Deana/UT  Team Training Room   The #1 fear in our business is pushy people - both ways, don't you think?
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   in a way that is ENGAGING not manipulating
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   I think so.
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   DISCOVERING not convincing
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   FOLLOWING not directing
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   and BEING not doing
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   i agree deana but the funny thing is usually the people worried about that couldnt be pushy if you PAID them to, people think they need to be something they arent there is a perception that you need to be 'more' than you already are
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   when being YOU is the KEY!!!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   so here are some 'what not to do's' for building a team
Message  Deana/UT  Team Training Room   true!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   #1
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   do not rely on scripted verbiage
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   For sure!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   this is not respectful to the person, taking their situation into account or their needs or their why
Message  Rachelle/UT  Team Training Room   It is so true, when you show them who you are sincerely, they are attracted.
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   sometimes a script can help you get started
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   but do not focus more energy on the words than the PERSON you are talkikng to
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   as you begin talking to people about the opportuinty you will become more confident in your ability to connect, assess, and share yourbusiness becuase it is a natural desire to serve others
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   #2 not to do:
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   do not talk so much that you cannot see that your prospect is simply not engaged!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   Less is more
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   let them lead the way
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   prospects usually have unspoken questions
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   hovering around while you are talking
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   What do you mean by that?
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   when you are SO intent on sharing why you love the company or product or oppty you may fail to notice the impact your self centered rambling may be having on your prospect!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   like they just want to know are there prizes?? and you are talking on and on about the compensation plan
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   or not interacting with them
Message  Deana/UT  Team Training Room   Don't tell them about something they don't care that much about - listen to what they are concerned about and answer that.
Message  Vicki/IL  Team Training Room   Okay
Message  EveLeCheminant  Team Training Room   Sometimes you only know what they're interested in is if you ASK and LISTEN rather than mindread.
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   while they are listening to you they are thinking and hoping to find a glimmer of just how the business might address some of what they need in life
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   and they are YEARNING to feel understood and listened to and respected
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   so don't make it all about you and your agenda
Message  Deana/UT  Team Training Room   asking and listening is EXCELLENT!
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   #3 what not to do
Message  Karen/CA  Team Training Room   too much discussion of the company and products and not enough discussion of them and their needs
Message
