What results are you looking for when you support your team?
- Are you looking for SUCCESS results?
- Are you looking for CONFIDENCE results?
- Are you looking for PASSIONATE results?
or better yet
- Are you looking for NUMBERS results?
Results are tangible evidence that your business is growing! As a leader, the key is that your team members are having success, building their confidence, passionate about their business, and yes, they are growing with higher numbers, like
- higher party sales numbers
- higher numbers of parties
- higher number of prospects, and
- higher number of recruits joining the team.
Supporting your team with specific ways to improve results helps you become the leader that everyone wants to follow.
Our focus in the CALENDAR GIRLS Team Booking system is to support, encourage and nurture the team with these five ways
#1 A Solid Team Communication System
A good communication system sets positive expectations for your team. How often do you communicate with your team? Do you have a system that keeps your team engaged or do you run by the seat of your pants and figure it out as you go along.
The CALENDAR GIRLS Team booking system puts you in front of your team consistently every day, every week and every month at the right time with support via email, facebook, texting and face to face. This system helps leaders know the value of helping team members actively engage in menu of events each week.
We work with daily hashtags that keep the team apprised of their efforts, their successes, and important events they need to attend. These hashtags are
- #Mondaynewsletter – I show you how to write a strong, impactful weekly update that team members are waiting to see in their inbox every Monday because it shares weekly results.
- #Tuesdaygathersuccessstories – we have a quick & easy way to connect with team members and find what results they’re getting before and after parties.
- #Wednesdayrecognition – this is shout-out day with impactful results and the team loves to see their name in lights.
- #Thursdayteameventsprep – leaders make use of this time to have exciting and significant results in preparing for 4 major events each month.
- #Fridayshareteamgoals – the team loves to know how close they are to hitting the monthly team goals and this communication keeps everyone focused on the road ahead.
#2 Add Value in your Team Facebook Group
Having your own Team Facebook group enables you to communicate daily with your team in supporting them in their quest to have successful sales, bookings and recruiting. If you haven’t created your “own” team Facebook group, I highly suggest you do it as soon as possible. I work with many leaders who are growing at a rapid pace using this method of communication and they are having amazing results, results where team members are growing their confidence as direct sellers. When you ADD value to your team members, they aspire to greatness and they know they are being supported by a strong leader.

#3 Create excitement with a Team Benchmark Incentive
A benchmark incentive is one where you want most of your team to hit a specific sales goal every month. It all depends on the size and activity of your team to establish the right amount.
I figured if I had as many team members as possible hitting a $2500 sales goal every month, my team volume would not only be consistent, but it enabled me to support those who were wanting higher sales and higher pay checks.
Figure what is your best Benchmark Incentive that will excite and ignite the team to be part of this important goal every month. Then share that goal with your team. Share the importance of hitting that goal and what’s in it for them. Share what your incentive will be when they hit that mark. Keep focused on helping as many team members on your team hit your benchmark incentive.
Remember, when the team members are successfully hitting incentives every month, everyone wins!
#4 Make a difference with your Team Mission
What is your team mission? Do you have one? Are you on a mission to change the world like me? My mission is to help leaders in Direct Sales grow strong and dynamic teams! I am doing that one leader at a time.
One of my clients’ mission is to find people who are interested in joining her on her mission to change the world one chemically-free household at a time.
She is spreading this throughout her team! And that is the key! Establish your team mission and keep it in front of the team every day.
Your mission helps you prioritize and fit everything you do within that mission.
Your mission is unique to your team and will attract others to join your team because they believe in the mission.
Make your mission your true north and get the team to rally behind you and you will see explosive results.
#5 Be powerful with your authenticity.
We live in an age of technology where we spend beaucoup amounts of time in front of the computer screen. You want people to get to know the REAL you! The authentic you! Engage with your team via LIVE VIDEO as often as possible! I teach my clients to re-purpose everything they share with their team via word, via graphics and via LIVE video! It’s live VIDEO that makes the difference because you have the opportunity to insert your feelings, your emotions, your authenticity in showing your team you are their leader who is there to support them in everything they do.
My team knew I wanted to hear from them. They knew I was interested in their successes and their failures. They knew I was there for them because I developed a strong and deep relationship with each of them.
Make your Team Meetings so consistent and exciting that nobody wants to miss them.
When you are authentic and connect with your team often you are communicating as the authentic YOU and the team will love it.
A team wants to know their leader will listen to them, and when you engage on LIVE VIDEO often in your team facebook and are consistent with your team events, they will respond with amazing results.
