The Important Area Meeting

Holding an area meeting is the only way you can create area momentum for your business. The meeting is the most effective way to share the dream and build the team. Call it a "Verve Tasting" - a "PBR" (Private Business Reception) - a "Home Meeting" - or a "Business Briefing" - whatever the name, it is where people gather once a week, bring a guest (physically pick them up and driving with them to the meeting), hear the testimonials and share their story from the front of the room. It really doesn't matter how large or small the weekly meeting is in the beginning. When you gather your team together, something simply "magical" happens. It's called - synergy! And this synergy creates excitement about the business. And, you will definitely start small. It may be you & one other person that you have enrolled to start things out - in your home or apartment. However, the next week both of you must bring one guest & then you will have four. The next week all four of you bring just one guest & you will have eight. (Get the picture?) Team - I started right where each of you are starting - from my home. I had only one guest in front of me. I, however, shared my excitement & story...& I grew businesses to 6 figure monthly incomes! You can do this too. Meetings have always worked, & will continue to work with network marketing. It's a people-to-people business. In this high tech world, networking is all about high-touch. People like the sorority/fraterity "friendshippy" feel meetings create. Guests come, in many cases, as a favor to the person who invited them, or just to feel a part of what is going on. And it is the only place to create real team spirit & area momentum! Know this... you do meetings for two main purposes - 1) to share the "dream" with the existing team, & 2) to share the "dream" with new people. This "existing team" concept is very important - your ANCHOR. Some of your team members may be doing very little in the business, but after attending a couple of small meetings alone - hearing the stories shared - having the dream painted again for them in front of the room - possibly sharing their product success story with others in attendance - they may suddenly catch fire & really step up and build a huge business for you - just because they attended a weekly meeting! Just make sure to be CONSISTENT with those weekly meetings. Having a monthly meeting or a "sometime" meeting doesn't cut it. Nothing will happen in your area because you are not creating momentum for your area to plug into. Momentum is magnetic! People will want to know what you are doing! The don't want to miss out. Momentum is only created with a consistent ... same time, same place ... meeting that your team can count on. Your team needs to know that if they go out & talk to new people today (in person or on the phones) that they have a place to bring those new Prospects to for validation of the opportunity. (I find Tuesday night works best - but you can choose.) Just do them & watch your business explode! Personal Note - Even if you are the one conducting the area weekly meeting, make sure that you bring a new guest every week too! Set the example & your team will follow your lead.
