Mentoring & Coaching Your TEAM

[mack88]

Hello fellow GDI-ers!

I've had the fortunate opportunity to be a guest on the .ws Radio Show today (Sep 25) and it was a remarkable experience!  I was able to share some of the knowledge that I have with the entire .ws Community and prospects that you may have invited to the show.  I would like to recap some of the things that were discussed!


1.  A Mentor is an adviser, counseler and a Friend!  The friendship is developed over time.

2.  An effective Mentor has the following Leadership traits:  Show effort, Discipline, Caring and Giving to name a few!  You may have traits I do not list, which is good.

3.  As a Mentor I like to welcome New Team Members to my team.  Members that are new to Network Marketing really need coaching!  We want to build a relationship, which helps in retention.  All of this enables us to grow a larger organization over time.

4.  Everyone is a Mentor/Coach.  You are the Leader of your Team/Organization.  Regardless of the industry you are or have been in, you've had someone who mentored you, someone you look up to for guidance and support.

5.  As a GDI Affiliate, one needs to understand that it take a commitment of time to grow your team.  Realistically, it can take anywhere from 1-2 years to grow your Business/Team.  It will not happen overnight!

6.  During the process of Mentoring/Coaching, you as the sponsor should be sharing the knowledge you have in order to help your team not make the mistakes that so many of us have experienced in the past.  Duplication equals success of you and your team.

7.  You must teach your team to have an open mind, to be committed and have a willingness to work! 

These are some of the topics discussed during the .ws Radio Show!  I urge everyone to listen in on Sundays.  If you are not available during the actual live broadcast, by all means visit the archived shows.  Remember that the .ws Radio Show is an effective recruiting/prospecting tool.  Use it to your advantage!

To your incredible success!

Frank

p.s.  Thanks to Chip, Nicole and Marvin for the experience.

Thanks Frank,

Those words are encouraging. The "process" of mentoring involves that patience of a farmer. Plant the seeds
of knowledge with the group and just let them know you're there for them!

Everybody's timing is not the same. Some are doing this full time, some part time, ans some are still simply using
there domain name for personal (non-business) use.

I love the .wsInternet show.

Thanks again for sharing!

Frank,

How is it that you know so much about GDI? is it because you search the answers out for your our knowledge or
are you one of those peolpe that seem to learn as they go and our timing could not be any better.

Sorry for the weird Q's, just wanted to know your secret.

Thanks

                                           GO TEAM GO

                                 The true meaning of it all is the word TEAM
                                  We must remember that togather we stand----divided we fall.
                                  Everybody is good at something and nobody is perfect.
                                  When a team work togather, it's like a baby crawling,you help them
                                   until they can stand and walk. Good mentors know how to coach
                                   and give you what you need and the rest is up to you.

A wonderful post here and I agree 100% with Frank and everyone else. It takes a real leader someone to not only help you in business stratagy but actually be a friend and care about their success. I am only just over 1 week old in this company and so far my business is doing great and my upline has been very supportive and helpful.

I look forward to working with everyone I bring into this opportunity better their lives as well as their loved ones lives. A real mentor can inspire some amazing things in people they never realized they had as they simply needed to right person to help them unlock their potential.

I am here to help anyone if it's possible and team work is the name of the game if you work as a unit and help everyone together you can achieve great success. I just wanted to put my 2 cents here and say this post is important to read to anyone coming into this community. Happy New Year!

Hello Frank,
Yes you are right that duplication is the real key of success for our team and our own too.
Your this post is nice and encouraging.
Please guide us for some specific ways for success if you can.

Duplication is simply mastering the simple things, then teaching your team to do the exact same thing.

For example:

Conference calls, sizzle lines, 3-way phone calls with your sponsor & prospect, inviting, sharing your products, following up with your prospects.  All of these examples will teach your team members to do the exact same thing.  If you are not using them, your team members will not use them, therefore you will have zero results.

GDI is a simple business (so simple that many make it hard to duplicate).  The most powerful resource (IMO) that you have in your possession is the 7-minute animated movie.  It's what introduced me to GDI and is what I use to introduce others.  Yes, there are others, DVDs, Business Cards, Reprints, etc...use what you are comfortable with...EXPOSE and INVITE and you will see results.

Frank,

Very well put if we could get this concept to everyone in Networking maybe we wouldn't have so many people failing so badly.

You see having a home business is not going to be easy it will test your inner strength,resolve, and finally your patience.

This is a great topic - I totally agree! You can't get anywhere if you don't work with your downline.

This is a great topic - I totally agree! You can't get anywhere if you don't work with your downline.

You are absolutely right Darren.
I find that one great way for a newbie who is committed enough to help his/her downline is to have regular chat sessions using skye/YM/MSN/AIM
with the team. So even if a newbie leader may not have the vast experience to help downlines, by giving the group personal attention says a lot about his/her dedication.

I've said it before ... I don't understand why uplines treat information like secrets with their teams.

I asked a  lot of questions when I first signed up and got nothing but yes and no answers ... that was strange!

In MLM, I don't succeed if my downline doesn't succeed.

Therefore, they get the best I have to offer and I treat them like a golden sales teams and provide them every tool I can!

I also provide them training modules so they better understand the business and why it's not rocket science, but rather mostly action and focus ... like any other sales driven business.
