12 Days of Recruiting


12 Days of RecruitingYour recruiting efforts with your Vemma business will not only help create income for you — effective recruiting will also enrich the health and financial well-being of your team. Here are 12 tips that experienced Brand Partners share to help you succeed.
1. Recruit smart. Tell everyone about your business success, but don’t try to recruit everyone. Being somewhat selective will save you time, and promote a positive image of Vemma and your business.
2. Listen first. Before you launch into a long list of Vemma’s benefits and perks, listen first to what your prospects need. Maybe a luxury vacation is just what they’re interested in, or maybe the idea of working from home is most attractive. You can’t tell them everything you know about Vemma’s benefits in a 15-minute conversation at a cocktail party, but you can tell them how Vemma will meet their specific needs and help them achieve their dreams.
3. Be on the lookout for talent. Notice the good qualities of each prospective Brand Partner. Everyone has unique talents, and your job as a mentor and coach will be to bring out these qualities. If you meet someone who has the qualities you think would make an amazing Vemma Brand Partner, tell them!
4. Show your enthusiasm. At the outset, prospective recruits will follow your lead. Your objective is to get your recruits relaxed, make them interested in the company, and want to be a part of the action. Begin your presentation by talking for a few minutes or showing a brief Vemma video.
5. Make a good first impression. The first impression you make starts with physical appearance, whether prospective recruits are looking at your Brand Partner website or meeting with you in person. Using professional Vemma marketing materials instantly establishes your credibility, and arriving at an appointment in a Vemmer (a Vemma-branded BMW) will communicate your level of success more strongly than any words could convey.
6. Use your BMW as a recruiting tool. Qualify for Platinum Club and use your BMW when you drive to appointments and meet with prospective Brand Partners. Or, if you’re just starting out and Platinum is still ahead a bit, put a Vemma car window sticker on your current car to let people know about your business.
7. Give everyone a fair shot at Vemma. Although it’s a little easier to train new Brand Partners who already have strong leadership skills and love working with people, it is possible for everyone to experience enhanced health and prosperity through Vemma. If people are interested, give them the chance. You might discover that they have skills that will prove a boon to your organization.
8. Be brave! Bring up Vemma when you’re talking to potential prospects. If you wait for people to ask you about your business and about the opportunity, you’ll have limited opportunities. Remember what Ralph Waldo Emerson said about bravery: “A hero is no braver than an ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer.” You can do it. Fifty seconds, and the conversation is started.
9. Advertise visually. Wear Vemma-branded apparel, or wrap your iPad in a Vemma cover! By using sleek, Vemma branded promotional items, you will attract prospects and convey a professional image. (See VemmaToolsStore.com and VemmaGear.com for styles and selection.)
10. Accept a “no” gracefully. If people aren’t interested in the opportunity, offer your business card, thank them for their time, and ask for referrals. This last step is a secret tip of many of the highest performing Brand Partners. If the prospect says no, don’t be afraid to ask for a referral. Maybe they know someone else who might be interested in the Vemma opportunity. These referrals can often be golden, so remember to ask.
11. Always be honest. Represent the business opportunity for what it is, and don’t exaggerate or make false claims. Exaggerating can make people skeptical. By being honest and up front about the business you’ll bring in the type of people who are willing to work hard to make this a success, rather than people looking for an easy buck.
12. Create a team atmosphere. From the first contact with prospective Brand Partners, talk about your team and their accomplishments and not just what one person has done. New Brand Partners are usually much more willing to build a business when they feel the support of a team, particularly if this is their first entrepreneurial experience. If your prospect is a people-person, working together in a team will be much more satisfying than going solo.
13. Train well. Expect to spend extra one-on-one time with each new Brand Partner in the beginning. You will build a great downline as you mentor and work closely with each new Brand Partner.
By following these recruiting tips, you will be expanding your organization and building your leadership skills at the same time. Recruiting can be exciting and invigorating, since every new Brand Partner can bring in unique skills and talents to your organization. Get recruiting on the right track, and get successful!
