When a new business partner joins, it’s your job to manage their expectations. In this article, I’m going to talk to you about how to manage the expectations of your network marketing newbies.
It’s easy for people to get excited at opportunity meetings as they are mostly hype and nonsense, but what happens when it’s time for rubber to hit the road? This is usually when your new recruit looks in the mirror and says, “Are you really sure you want to do this?” and many times the answer is NO! because they are afraid to move on.
Talk to them about the battle within
Before your new team members get out of reach, you need to make sure they are prepared for the battle within. You are going to lose most of the new members of your team instantly because they are mentally unprepared for what will happen to them.
You should tell them about negative friends and family. Talk about how the people who think they are going to join won’t and those who don’t expect them to. Each of these things could end them due to the inner battle if you don’t prepare them for it.
Let them know about the numbers
You should also inform them about the numbers in the business. When people are new, they may need to ask 10 people to take a look at their opportunity before even one person is willing to take a look. As the skills grow, the numbers will improve because your skills will improve.
conclusion
The more you manage the expectations of your new hires, the more likely you are to retain them until you can help them get the results they want. Make sure you take time to do this.
