HOW TO ENROLL NEW BUSINESS ASSOCIATES (STEP 4) AND SUPPORT THEM (STEP FIVE)

To conclude the blogs on our Five-Step System (Step 1: Expose   Step 2: Present   Step 3: Validate   Step 4: Enroll  Step 5: Support), I’m going to address both final steps: enroll and support.

Obviously, when a prospect is ready to enroll, there’s nothing complicated about the sign-up.

However, my system differs 360 degrees from many other leaders.

I always suggest that the prospect sign up on his or her own. I never three-way them into the company because I want them to take the initiative to do so. It’s a commitment test.

This worries some leaders who believe that new prospects should be slammed in before they change their minds. However, I’d rather them change their minds before enrolling than waste my valuable time after they have already joined and been processed. Those who quit before signing up do us a great service.

With respect to the last step – support, I have a simple rule. I spend a minimum of one hour with all new business associates making certain that they learn these five fundamental steps.

Then I make myself available 24/7 to answer all questions for the first 30 days. After the first-month honeymoon, I gradually back off from those who're producing nothing.

Those who're recruiting and retailing can always count on my support.

Remember, new distributors will never be as excited as they are in their first month. If they can’t sell a few products and recruit a few people in their first month, they probably lack either the skills or motivation to succeed.

Sorry, but that’s just the way it is.

I support those who're working.

So that’s it – the whole Five-Step System: Expose, Present, Validate, Enroll and Support.

See ya' around campus.

      Hi Mark,

      Love the comments! One minor point, though.

      "However, my system differs 360 degrees from many other leaders."

      If you turn 360 deg., your facing in the same direction. I believe you mean 180 deg.

      Thanks for all you do Mark, this 5 step system is very easy to duplicate so prospects will never feel they can't do this business.

      Mark, Valerie, or anyone have a rough % of the callbacks you are getting after sending prospects to an exposure tool like 15 years left?? I want to get a gauge of where I'm at.

      Thanks-

      Jay

      Mr. Yarnell, you have such great quotes
      from these authors; how do I find their

        Charyl, you’ll find all of the books on Amazon.

        All but one were published between 2007-2008, so they’re current.

        The exception is “Actions and Reactions" by Roger Bapson which was published long ago. We eventually found that one through Amazon and a second hand bookseller.

        Best Regards
