I think it’s fairly safe to say… no one likes rejection.
My interview with Andrea Waltz today dealt with that very subject. What if we could become confident, fearless even – impervious to rejection?
Andrea Waltz is the co-author of several best-selling books, including “Go for No!”, and “Yes is the Destination, No is How You Get There”. In this interview she teaches us how to change our outlooks, how to start thinking of “no” in a different way – how to start thinking of NO as the goal… how to Go for NO!
Andrea and I talked about the one major roadblock standing between most people and sales success: the fear of the word NO. Everyone loves the sound of the word YES… it’s so positive, so empowering. But for most people, NO is just the opposite… negative, draining, the antithesis of yes.
So, what if that could change? What if, starting today, the word NO stopped stopping you?
We talked extensively about why we feel rejection and, more importantly, how to overcome it. We talked about why “no” goals work better than “yes” goals and how we actually hold ourselves back from achieving by focusing on yes.
If you’ve ever felt the sting of rejection or if you have ever had a fear of failing… then you need to hear this replay!

Do you get to a certain level and then slide backwards? Or do you give up or lose interest before you hit a goal?
Or maybe you say you want to be successful, but when it comes down to doing what it takes, you can’t seem to make yourself follow through?
Well, today I talked with Pat Pearson and she suggests… you may be “sabotaging” yourself.
Pat Pearson is an internationally known author, speaker, and psychotherapist – and the author of “Stop Self-Sabotage”. In working with direct sellers for over 30 years, she has helped countless people identify whether or not they are “getting in their own way”.
In today’s interview Pat defined self-sabotage and explained how we all do it to some degree. She outlined the five ways we self-sabotage and the four factors which determine our “deserve level”. She even gave our listeners a test so they could assess the extent to which they are self-sabotaging.
If you’ve ever wonder why you’re stuck and you know you need to overcome your personal resistances… make sure to join us for the replay!

Retention in direct sales is a chronic issue.
We work hard spreading the word about our businesses, adding new people to our teams, training new consultants, but end up cringeing as we watch them go inactive all too early. So what can we do to combat it? Well, ShaChena Gibbs has the answers!
Women’s empowerment advocate, author, and speaker, ShaChena Gibbs, is the Founder, CEO, and Small Business Educator of Real Sisters Rising, an organization that supports women entrepreneurs’ business development through on going training and member to member support.
Known for her straight forward style, ShaChena is assisting women in direct sales as they master their daily business operation and become the CEOs of their own empires.
In today’s interview, ShaChena talked about the importance of recognition in retention and ideas on how to make your team members feel special. She also revealed one thing major corporations do very well – which makes their employees feel like they belong – and how we can implement that practice in our own direct sales businesses.
Thirty-five percent of all direct sellers stay with their teams and their companies because of “affiliation” or the feeling of belonging to something bigger than themselves.
ShaChena told us how to tap into that greater need.
If you’d like to keep your team members around long enough that they actually have time to BE successful… then you must listen to this replay!

Recruiting is the lifeblood of our business and for some of us it seems to come naturally, but what about for the rest of us?
And, even if we are naturals, how do we teach our team members to sponsor? Is there really a process we can follow to LEARN how to recruit?
Well, today’s guest, Sue Rusch, is here to help!
Sue is the author of “Selling It Softly” and as a speaker, consultant, and strategic advisor, she is known for building a nationally recognized $19,000,000 field sales organization, and for inspiring thousands to think differently about their businesses and themselves.

She explained why the steps need to proceed in a specific order and how it can derail us when we fail to follow this order.
Plus, she suggested lots of phrases that will help make the whole process easier. Sometimes a one-word change can make all the difference!
If you’re worried about appearing to be too pushy, or if you can’t seem to get the hang of sponsoring… or if you’re a good recruiter but don’t know how to have your team members enrolling people on a regular basis… then you must listen to this replay!

How would you like to have more leads?
And better quality leads? Warmer leads, too? More qualified people to talk with? People who actually pick up the phone when you call?
If you said, “Yes. Yes. Yes”, then you are going to love the interview I just did with Casey Eberhart!
