I was thrilled to see my Success Path Coaching program working when I received a tag this week from one of my FIRST coaching clients. Linda tagged me and shared a lovely testimonial for the FOUR coaches she has worked with over the past 10 years! This is a leader who has grown her business to the top of her company and when we first worked together she was new to direct sales and she wanted to know the path to growing a successful direct sales business.
Here’s what Linda posted: “Gale Bates, was my first ever coach. She supported me through a time when my business had taken off and I had not much idea about what I was doing! I had more parties than I could deal with (I’d like to get back to that – I think I had about 42 bookings scheduled at one time). I can’t remember the specifics of our conversations (it was in 2010) but I do know that I may have crashed and burned without her guidance.
When I worked with Linda, I was FRESH out of the field having built my own million-dollar team! I’d spent two years working with an Australian fashion company training 1500 consultants. (Linda is an Australian client.) What I loved about coaching with Linda was her drive to hold parties! She knew that this was the path to succeed in getting the word out about her business. She would hold a party in the morning and drive across town to hold another one in the afternoon and sometimes even one in the evening on the same day! Now, that’s dedication and commitment to growing a new business. Would you be prepared to do this?
It was this DRIVE that grew her business to the success it is today. So many people do one or two parties, and then it gets a little hard, so they give up. Linda took the path to success with her drive and determination and built an incredibly successful leadership team to be the #1 leader in Australia.
It’s this Success Path that are the guiding principles of my coaching programs. What does this “Success Path” look like?
First 90-day New Recruit Success plan
Some New consultants feel overwhelm when they first begin their direct sales business! Unless they are taken through the first 90-days with strong guidance by their sponsor, their focus wanes and many of them revert back to being wholesale buyers. That’s why I offer my FREE 90-day New Recruit Success plan. The opportunity to have a strong direct sales business begins in those first 90 days, and if they ride through the 90 days with a success plan and begin to make money they see the benefits of achieving how to grow a very profitable business.
We Get Clear with your Goals: My first client, Linda, was determined to grow her business holding the maximum amount of parties! But, she hired me because she wanted to know how to move up the ladder in her Comp. plan and make money without killing herself holding so many parties! It’s extremely important to get CLARITY! That’s all about knowing where you are now, and knowing exactly where you want to be! It’s this first principle that helps you make the right decisions.
The Next step is to create a strategy to get there. This is all about understanding exactly how to get from one level to the next in growing your business. We sit down and we figure out the “how” you’re going to grow with specific action steps that serve you to grow a team! This step also takes you on a mission to master skills.
- Skills to having high party sales,
- Skills on keeping a consistent booking program,
- Skills on recruiting and finding the right team members who want to grow a business.
- Skills to following up and generating new leads.
- Skills to becoming a focused leader.
Once we map out your strategy then we create a timeline. This is predicated on how much time you’re willing to work your business every week. Once you are clear with your goals and you have your strategy and have made your commitment to work your business, then it’s time to TAKE ACTION!
Then we set up your accountability program Taking action is 
implementing those money-making revenue activities in your business. This is why Linda was so successful. Her #1 money- making revenue activity was holding parties! She knew the more parties, she held, the higher her sales, the more opportunities she had to find people to join her on her quest to grow.
It’s important to have someone to talk to weekly and help you stay on track. This is one of the big areas in my coaching program that gets people the results they want. Setting up accountability with a coach or mentor, measures your growth. It helps you follow through with the strategy and plan. When you focus on implementing money generating activities, that’s when you multiply your income dramatically.
Without accountability, it delays your path to success. When you have someone holding you accountable that you are implementing on a regular basis, you see results much more quickly.
Now, you’ve built momentum: This is the last step of the success path! You are on your way!
- You’ve got clarity with your goal.
- You created your strategy to achieve your goal.
- You are consistent with your accountability.
And now you’ve grown MOMENTUM! The dictionary describes momentum as an impelling force of strength! It’s this force, this drive that takes you all the way to achieve your goal of “where you want to be.”
John Maxwell says, “Momentum is a leader’s best friend.” Momentum is when things happen easily, where one success follows another and that’s because you made the decision to take massive action working in those money generating activities.
Creating momentum takes hard work and effort and most of all staying accountable. Once you have momentum it can change your business.
Think about this SUCCESS PATH!
- Do you have clear goals?
- What kind of strategy are you working on?
- Are you accountable to taking action?
- Are you seeing momentum in your business?
Then ask yourself this question, “Where would I like to go in my Direct Sales Business?”
