[H1261]How To Improve Growth

by Matt Somers, Mat

Imagine I was coaching you on something as straightforward as catching a ball. We might conclude that keeping your eye on the ball would be a useful quality to bring to the task. Let's consider four ways I might try to help you do that.

1. "Watch the ball!"
2. "Are you watching the ball?"
3. "Why aren't you watching the ball?"
4. "What do you notice about the ball as it comes towards you?"

Let's consider the impact of these. 1 is a command. You don't get any input or feedback on what to do differently and if you don't like me or feel under pressure, you'll probably elect to look at something else. 2 is a closed question. You will probably answer, yes, but I won't know if you were truly watching the ball or not. 3 is an interrogative question and likely to be met with a defensive, justifying response. Only 4 is a coaching question because you cannot answer it without paying attention to the ball.

What if instead I was coaching you on something complex like selling. We might conclude that asking your customers open questions would be a useful quality to bring to the task. Again, here are four ways I could try to help.

1. "Use open questions!"
2. "Are you using open questions?"
3. "Why aren't you using open questions?"
4. "How would you judge the effectiveness of the open questions that you ask?"

Contrast approaches 1 and 4. 1 will create anxiety and tension or fatigue and resentment. 4 will have me thinking about the questions I'm asking and deciding on what basis I would rate their quality. I really have to think about the questions I'm asking to do this and I get an incredible insight into their differing effects. Powerful stuff.

Which approach will promote best focus on the qualities you're seeking to develop? In the same way that the ball can teach us how to catch, our customers can teach us all we need to know about selling our products and services. Similarly, our staff can teach us all we need to know about how to get the best from them. We just need to become keen and attentive students. We need, in other words, to focus on the right things. Using coaching questions creates focus infinitely better than commands and instructions, we've just become used to a command and control world. About time we developed some new habits don't you think.

What do you notice about.....?

The single most problematic mistake made by many Vemma distributors is that when they actually start growing in their business, they don't train their team in a way that produces. Too often, Vemma distributors assume that they can just get started, recruit a bunch of people, and that they will automatically start getting huge monthly residual checks.

Another common mistake is that people take too much time training their new team members, and as a result their personal production falters over time. If you want long term Vemma success, you need to learn how to have a balance between training new team members and continuing to recruit and produce personally.

Vemma has a binary compensation plan, which means that you only need two strong teams to make it to the top income levels in the company. However, just because you only have to build two teams doesn't mean that you can build a Vemma business by only recruiting and training two people. If your team doesn't see you personally producing, they will stop producing themselves. Let me give you 3 tips that will help you stay on task, and train your Vemma team at the same time.

That, if anything, is the key to building long term wealth in your Vemma business. You've got to learn how to balance a fine line of productivity, culture, and personal development into your growing and profitable Vemma organization.
1. You need to concentrate eighty percent or more of your attention on sponsoring new Vemma reps into your organization. If you're focused on anything but recruiting, your team will copy you and stop recruiting themselves. The first step to training your Vemma team is to set an example by producing enough personally.

2. 19% of your focus should be on getting new people started and giving them training and instructions on what to do next. If you focus too much of your attention on new people, you won't have time to be productive in your business, but if you don't put enough energy into them, they'll never get the details of the business and they'll quit before they start. Most of your training should revolve around proven methods to sponsor new distributors, since that is the lifeblood of your whole Vemma business.

3. Less than 1% of your focus should be on unproductive activities, and you should outsource as many details as you can to people who will take care of them for you. This is one of the most important things that leaders do in Vemma, they stay focused on production by allowing details to be handled by the company and the customer support team. The only way to stay focused on building a business is to outsource the details to others.

If you would pay attention, you would see that I've allotted 99% of your business building attention to business building activities. If you ever intend on creating a significant passive income in Vemma, you'll follow my advice here and you'll be dramatically better off because of it.
