Sometimes when you are working your business and trying so hard to achieve and maintain Leadership you don't see the things that are slipping away from you and the ways you can actually save time and money. So here are some ideas to help the flow of Leadership work a little smoother.
I tell all Consultants to organize their "Business-in-a-Box". This is crucial in today's busy world and being a Leader makes no difference to the need for both the "Business-in-a-Box" and the "Mobile Recruiting Box". You can find lots more about the "B-in-a-B" for short , on the Networking Gals website but the following is a brief description of how to create your "Mobile Recruiting Box".
As it can be difficult to keep a cardboard box neat and clean I highly recommend that you purchase some small plastic bins that opaque or clear. I found that Canadian Tire had a great selection. Make sure you pick a few not just for the 2 box ideas but also for your office.
You may choose to create a flyer that you can glue runner to the lid so when you look at the top of each small bin you will know right away which bin is which. I suggest that you keep both of these bins in your vehicle so that you are prepared for anything. We are so busy now a days that people do not have the time to commit to things like we use to. You have to have your commercial message (that we spoke about in this blog before) ready to say and you have to have your businesses in a box!
Mobile Business in a Box in brief
- On a slower day you want to photograph every piece of paper you require to briefly explain the business to a possible recruit. Sort, staple as needed and place in your "Mobile Recruiting Box".
- As we have spoken about in this blog, make sure your "Commercial" is both verbal ready and available either in a flyer you make or a cd. Put plenty of copies in your box.
- Ensure that you have Consultant sign up forms and pens in your box.
- If possible make sure you have a few small gifts for prospects or at the very least include magnetic business cards as well as regular business cards and place them all in your box.
- Draw slips are important to have in your box as you may speak to a person and give him/her a business card but you also need to make sure you can contact them. A great way to get the correct info is to ask them if they would like to enter your draw for free products. Most people can not refuse the idea of receiving free gifts.
- We did not mention cell phones or mobile computers as we believe you would be taking those along anyways. Going to a wifi cafe is a great way to show a possible recruit the website or the Consultant back office.
- If you do not already have you should create a Facebook page where you share info about your business. Then prior (about 2 hours before) your cafe meeting with your possible recruit you could post on your Facebook page about being at this location showing the business if anyone else would like to attend. Advertising your Facebook page to customers is a great way to keep them in the loop and advertise to them about products, etc. without being harassing.
There isn't much to a box such as this but it is extremely important to take it with you ALWAYS! I usually take my box in shopping with me because I almost always end up talking to people who want to know more. If you do not have a child who sits up front then you can take your box too and people may comment or at the very least you can pass the cashier a business card. Remember......
Life is too short..........so go out and Party!
