Follow the Leader

I really don’t understand it.  I am pretty successful with my Xpress Healthcare business, not a six-figure earner (yet), but I’m making a living.  Why then, when team members ask for help and I direct them to particular sites to promote their business, do they either totally ignore me or only partially follow my suggestion.

I operate nearly my entire business online.  I don’t advertise on sites specifically meant for placing ads.  I have had little success with them. 

I have built my business using relationship marketing.  Among other networking sites, I participate on IBOToolbox.  I use a few sites, but I have had the best results from using IBOToolbox and a forum site where work-at-home business owners share ideas, ask questions and discuss myriad subjects, some having nothing to do with business.  Both IBOToolbox and the other forum I use a great deal offer ways to post ads at no cost, and I always have ads running on those sites.

I train my team members through twice-a-week team calls and using one-on-one training.  Once again, a new team member joined my team yesterday who found me on one of these forums.  I have signed more new team members from that one site than from anywhere else.  I use IBO as much for the relationships I have built as I do for promoting my business.  I have no one of knowing how many people see my posts, or those of my posts that other IBO members share elsewhere, and eventually end up joining.  I do know, however, that I get lots of traffic, because of IBOToolbox.

So, with that said, I’ll return to my original question.  I consistently advice my team members to join and participate on those two sites in particular.  I use others too, but not nearly as much, and team members sometimes find forums they enjoy.  I tell the team straight out, “I have signed more team members from that one site than from anywhere else or any other type of advertising.” 

IBOToolbox is great as well, and I remind team members about using it all the time.  One of my new team members actually listened, following my directions on how to use it, and she signed her first team member yesterday – someone who found her on IBO!

That old slogan comes up again here, “You can lead a horse to water…”  I simply want the best for my team.  I want them to grow strong, successful Xpress Healthcare businesses.  And yet only a fraction of my team participates in either of these two amazing business promoting forums.  Oh well, all I can do is show them the way, and I will continue to do so.
