This is on the SFI general tips page area. When you read this does this describe anyone you know?? I can think of a few from this forum.
This is good advice we can all follow.
LEADERSHIP TIPS:
• Lead by example. Do all the things you want your affiliates to emulate.
• Know that most people crave recognition. RECOGNIZE your affiliates who are doing good things with praise and rewards.
• Don't waste time on skeptics or non-motivated people. They will NOT succeed in your business or any other similar endeavor. They do not possess the qualities of a winner (this includes "rocking-chair advisors" who talk and talk, seem to know all the answers, but never act).
• Communicate constantly! Keep in touch with everyone you're personally sponsoring and who are in your team regularly. For your key people, make it daily if possible. The methods you can use are numerous: newsletters, meetings, phone calls, e-mail, voice mail, faxes, postcards, etc.
• Use IAHBE resources every day! Learn as much about IAHBE as you can so you can easily describe its numerous benefits. To become an IAHBE member yourself, go to the SFI Affiliate Store.
• Assist the persons you are sponsoring in SFI and the persons in your team as much as you can. Help them sponsor their first several affiliates. Let them know that you offer your support. Teach your affiliates the importance of doing the same for those in THEIR teams. In helping others become successful, you can become successful. It's also a wonderful way to make life-long friends.
• Don't do things for your affiliates that they should do themselves—or you will create "cripples."
• Avoid promoting your business in any way that causes your prospects to say to themselves, "Oh, now I see how this thing works, but I could never do that." In other words, if you are to succeed, your prospects must always be able to envision themselves doing what you're doing.
• Develop retail customers and encourage your affiliates to do the same. Doing so can generate immediate profits. This also builds confidence and has a springboard effect for future success in all facets of the business.
