How to get massive action with your team.
Our team members:
- Think about our business between television shows.
- Set goals and forget.
- Have too many life distractions.
- Have no simple strategy.
The following is a simple solution.
Here are some great benefits to this simple solution. Our members will:
- Think about our business every week.
- Bond and become more loyal.
- Love the social connections.
- Feel active and involved.
- Build a belief in their business.
- Develop more skills.
Too good to be true?
The Weekly Zoom Report.
Organize a once-a-week Zoom team meeting. The Zoom team meeting will be only 20 or 30 minutes at the most. Why?
- We want to conserve our time.
- Our teams will love the Zoom team meeting and be more likely to attend if it is short. They will look forward to it.
What will be the Zoom team meeting format?
We want to give our team members an easy assignment that will build their business. As we know, lessons and notes are good for memorizing skills. But results come when we put the skills into action.
No action = no results.
So what would be this easy assignment?
To say one simple sentence, once a day.
This sentence will be an ice breaker sentence that gives prospects choices. When prospects reply to this sentence, they make a choice. That makes closing automatic.
We must make sure this sentence is rejection-free, and there is no chance of embarrassment. We want our team members to say this sentence once a day. Here are some examples of this sentence:
- For utilities: “Does it make sense to lower our bills, instead of keeping them high?”
- For dieting: “Would it be okay if we could lose weight simply by changing what we have for breakfast?”
- For skincare, “Would it be okay if we could fix our wrinkles from the inside?”
- For our opportunity: “Does it make sense to get paid two times a month, instead of only one time a month?”
- For travel: “If you want to pay wholesale instead of retail prices when you travel, let’s talk.”
These are just a few examples. Basic ice breakers that compel people to make an instant decision. And did we notice that all of these sentences were safe?
Every team member will pick a sentence they would like to say. Make sure they pick something comfortable so they will be happy and relaxed when talking to prospects.
Let’s do our 20-minute Zoom team meeting.
First, welcome everyone.
Next, we give our personal report first. Why? Not to impress the team members, but to help everyone relax. No one ever wants to go first.
Our report will sound something like this.
“I chose this as my sentence this week: ‘If working out of your home sounds better than commuting to work, let’s talk.’ I said this sentence six times this week. My results? Three people wanted to have a conversation immediately. And here is another great thing that happened to me this week. My son came home with his first passing grade in math. His tutor is doing a great job.”
That’s it. Our report might take 30 seconds. Our personal report will have these four things:
- The sentence we chose.
- How many times we said our sentence.
- Our results from saying our sentence.
- And something good that happened to us this week.
Here is why we do these four things.
- By repeating the sentence, it helps us get better. Plus, some team members on the Zoom might want to use our sentence next week. Maybe it feels better for them than their current sentence.
- When we tell everyone how many times we said our sentence, that is our accountability report. Our job is only to tell the sentence. We can’t control the lives of the prospects who hear our sentence. This helps motivate us to say the sentence often. We don’t want to report that we only said the sentence one time over the entire week. That would be embarrassing.
- We report our results from saying our sentence. Remember, we are not attached to the results. But reporting our results lets others know that some people will be interested and some won’t, and that is normal.
- Report something good that happened to us this week? Yes. nobody wants to hear our negativity and problems. They can hear that on the news when we finish. Instead, if everyone reports one good thing that happened, it gives the listeners social proof that good things can happen in our lives. When we hear all these good things happening, we build a belief of hope and expectation that even though maybe this week was bad for us, next week could be better.
Well, we volunteered to go first. Our turn is finished. Now it is the next person’s turn.
Everyone on the Zoom Team Meeting takes their turn and reports. For some, this will help them overcome their shyness. They are with a group of supporters, and this may be the first time they’ve spoken in public or to a group. It’s great personal development.
After each team member finishes, we should compliment the team member for participating in reporting. We make no judgment if they didn’t tell their sentence at all, or if they couldn’t remember how to report these four things. We encourage everyone.
After the reports from everyone, we will give a word or two of motivation. After all, we are the leader of this meeting. We could say something like this:
- “I absolutely know you will all get to Super Executive Director. We don’t know how fast. But everyone gets closer every week.”
- “You don’t know what will happen next week. One person you speak with might earn you $20,000. They just have to hear your sentence.”
- “Our job is to give people a chance to have the life of their dreams. Tell your chosen sentence. Our obligation is to give others a chance. The rest is up to them.”
And finally, we can make any announcements.
That’s it.
And now our weekly call is over.
For our team members, this is a chance to catch up and see what their friends are doing every week. They will look forward to the meeting. And at the end of every call, everyone wants to do better the following week.
Use this simple 20-minutes-a-week investment to put life back into our business. This is one way to get everyone on the team active and involved.
