Building a HUGE, profitable, long lasting
team with FEG.
If you want one year of prosperity, grow grain.
If you want 10 years of prosperity, grow trees.
If you want 100 years of prosperity, grow people.
(Chinese Proverb)
The importance of the System.
You only need a System if you want to have BIG business.
Builders Love the System.
Great achievement should be System
driven rather than personality driven.
Small minds pay attention to personal skills and techniques.
Great minds pay attention to the System.
The System Builder.
The ultimate entrepreneur.
Your main purpose is to
build a large
team and a big business, and
you must build it through the
System!!!!
It's work to build the System.
Like a railroad track.
You labor to build the track but when it's
done it's easy to run on and
the train picks up speed!
It takes
focused discipline and sacrifice.
Follow the System. You must master the System and follow the
System religiously.If you want your team to copy you, you can't
follow it once in a while.You must do it all the time.
Following the System (Aim at recruits hit sales)
must not be a phase of you business life but a WAY of your
business life!!!
A System creates duplication and multiplication.
If your first generation duplicates you, your second generation will
duplicate your first, and your third will duplicate your second and on
and on. Systemize to multiply.
Be fruitful and multiply.
Your highway to success.
The System shows you step-by-step
exaclty what you need to do to
arrive to your destination.
Like a combination lock, like a key to a
door, like a GPS system.
Without the System;
Confusion, frustration, chaos,
internal conflict,
uncoachability,
unteachability, discouragement,
quitting.
Coachability is being submissive,
humble.
Submission to the System.
Be a student of the business.
You run the System and System
runs your business.
You wouldn't buy a Mcdonalds and then try
to change the menu!
The System flow.... A simple solution for building a BIG business;
A powerful growth machine, a clear focus System, a plan to simplifyand multiply, a VAST new prospect market, an explosion of presentations and production, predictable and duplicatable, lowersbarriers to all builders, easy to monitor, goal driven, clear aim for next step, wide-deep-geometric growth, a fast, efficient way to builda big Base Shop, train more trainers, creates urgency and mozone,mobilizes old and new builders, fosters teamwork, increases
taprooting, liberates builders for expansion and more.
VP
Aim to qualify for VP in your first 90 days The ultimate position!
You run your own business at this stage. Great income potential,great security potential.
Your aim then is to build an VP FACTORY!!!! You are either an
VP or an VP in training!!!!
Focus on VP. Being a VP is your business.
This is your outlet.
Your total focus is to identify, build and
lead a large team of VPs.
Your daily activities should be anything that helps you build new VPs.
Everyone must know the VP promotion guidelines
Everyone must know where they currently stand in reqard to their promotion.
How many VPs can you build, how fast and in how many cities?
Steps to duplicate.
Join, meet the spouse, prospect list, personal financial strategy,
match up for field building appointments, recruit 3 direct fast.
A FAST START is everything!!!
The group BOP.
3 purposes
1. Resell the dream to existing team members.
2. Teach current teammates how to sell the dream.
3. Sell the dream to new prospects.
Rules for the BOP. Arrive early with your guest, sit your guest in front,
stay in the meeting, dress sharp, have your guest dress well, introduce your guests to your teammates and most importantly to the BOP presenter.
After the meeting take your guest to your upline to schedule a follow up interview.
Get them some literature to read.
Mistakes to avoid at the BOP. Showing up on time, or late. Arrive early!
Bringing a bad day to the BOP.
Waiting for your guests in the parking lot. Leaving the meeting, talking in the meeting, answering rhetorical questions by the presenter, acting casual to a first time guest.
Doing the BOP too much before the BOP!
The follow up interview.
Within 48 hours,
during the day,
with the the inviter.
The 8 filters. 1.Stay after the meeting2.Get some literature3.Set a follow up interview4.Keep the follow up interview and join5.Develop a prospect list6.Set goal (3 recruits fast) and action plan
7.Match up with a leader for field building 8.Finalize your personal financial strategy.
Be a strong leader… not a weak leader.
Strong: Weak: Shows the Vision Shows the Mission
A part time business
Strong: Weak: We are looking for serious, committed,
hard working people We will accommodate you
Strong: Weak: Let’s do your paperwork now. Take this home to fill out…
Strong: Weak: You need to be licensed in 8 weeks Take your time
Strong: Weak: Goal to be VP in 6 months! Take your time…
Strong: Weak: Let’s work together on your prospect list Fill out your names list…
Strong: Weak: Tell them the challenges Make it too easy
A fast start. If a new recruit does not have a fast start….
Then they will have a slow start.
It is critical to have a strong start.
A new recruit that starts fast
tends to duplicate a fast start to their team.
A fast start.1. Join2. Create your goals. 3. Make your prospect list.4. Own the product. 5. Make appointments or get invitees to a BOP… have a
Field Builder. The SPRINT AWARD is in 10 days from signing up a
person had their goals, prospect list and owned the product!
6. focus on and get 3 personal recruits in 30 days!
Focus on building the Base Shop.
Consistent, relentless focus
on the Base will ensure
long-term success
to a new generation of
big base-shop builders.
Recruiting mentality.
A true builder always maintains
good recruiting numbers in the Base.
She must prospect, invite, and
do presentations consistently
to cultivate the
HABITS of a recruiting mentality.
Builder’s mindset.
You don’t build an VP.
You build a recruiting and building machine. You build an VP factory!
Meeting mentality. Become a director of motivation.
Meetings, events, FastStart School, annual convention, Dream Destination, BOPs, workshops, you are a product of these
meetings.
If you don’t like your performance then show up for rehersals!
Lead by example.
Manage activites, but focus on results.
The VP is a do-it-first leader.
She runs the system, recruits, builds and motivates. The VP is the fireball of his
business.
A VP factory mentality… agency builder.
A common trap of many newly promoted VPS is they learn the role of the VP instead of the role of the VP factory! Your main focus should be to consistently identify 3 new people that are potential VPS-to-be- in your Base and help them become VPS.
Be part of a winning team. When you’re in a team of great builders, your
chances of winning increase tenfold!!! You have then greatness in your genes. This is the secret of success in our business. In the industry offices the people play the lonely, the professional game. It is very difficult to find big builders in the financial industry. Our goal is to help builders be in business for themselves but not by themselves. Builders build bigger together.
The bigger you are the more coachable youShould be!
Coachablity = humility = submissive.
You are a product of your environment.
You cannot stretch your own vision so go to the events. There has never been a non-event attender that has gotten big in our business. The secret of success is not in your luck or talent.
It is in your vision to surround yourself with many visionary people. “Where there is no vision (revelation) the people perish
A hardcore recruiting mentality. Recruits are the lifeblood of your business.
Your children keep you young. No recruits and your team dies, like a body lacking air. Without recruits there will be no BOPs, no HOPs, no meetings, no field building, no sales, no money, no promotions, no hope, ho dreams, and no mission. Without recruits you are in a coma.
Recruiting magic. Enthusiasm, influence and timing are the 3 keys
to recruiting. 90% of recruiting is being excited. Your 10 WHYS for doing this business will get you excited! You infect them with your enthusiasm and inject them with your crusade. Recruiting is a transferal of belief. You recruit them with your belief.
Winning recruiting ideas; Recruit quantity to get quality.
Recruit up not downl
Believe that this is your breakthrough.
“Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.” William James.
Move like water: “The army’s disposition of force is like water. Water’s
configuration avoids heights and races downward. The army’s disposition of force avoids the substantial and strikes the vacuous. Water configures its flow in accord with the terrain; the army controls its victory in accord with the enemy. Thus, the army does not maintain any constant strategic configuration of power. Water has no constant shape.” Sun Tzu. Art of war book.
You are ONE recruit away from an
Explosion!
You are ONE name, one call, one contact, one invitation, one referral, one presentation, one BOP, one big event away from an explosion!
We are WILD, PACIFIC PELICANS! Nothing is more exciting than recruiting and
building a person from nobody to somebody!!!
A builder’s mindset: System Duplication Large Numbers Monitoring Build it BIG (It’s only worth it if you do it BIG!!!)
Go wide. You must build at least 5 to 7 strong direct builders.
You don’t want to recruit 5 to 7 people. You don’t want to recruit 5 to 7 salespeople. You want to BUILD 5 to 7 BUILDERS!
How? Prospect, contact, invite, pick the prospect up, present, BOPs, follow up interview, get started interviews, prospect list, create goals, get sales, follow up, drop by, call them remind them, get them to events.
A BIG BASE SHOP.
At least 10 ten new recruits a month for your team. At least 2 personal recruits per month. Aim at recruits hit sales.
A commitment to build. BASE > Super BASE > Super TEAM > Infinity
hierarchy.
These are your businesses, your outlets, your cash flow machine.
You must wake up everyday thinking about how to grow your business. 3 to 5 years from now what is your business going to look like? How many VPS will you have built?

Building long distance.
Build yourself locally first. You will need a very coachable, proactive person at a distance or a local team to build them.
They appreciate you more. They will be more independent. They will grow up strong or die. They are willing to travel like you.
They will appreciate and honor big events more.
Be careful of the cost involved.
Expect turbulence. Get tough. Don’t take things personal. You do it
first.. they do It later. You come first. They come last. They leave first, you Leave last.
If you say 10 good things and 1 bad thing they will Remember the bad thing. T
hey can criticize you but you can’t Criticize them. They come and go, but you always stay. They Do and they don’t but you always do it. They may win or they May lose but you have to win. You need them but you don’t Need them. You care for them but you don’t care for them.
Build Giants! You must build giants for long term profitability and security.A giant is a system builder with a strong team. A giant has
an ambitious vision. They project a successful image. A giant maintains a strong base shop and builds strong frontline leaders. Super Base is the magical area. The cash zone!
A giant is generation blind and hierarchy blind, a pure builder.
A giant is fanatical about attending big events. A giant makes and saves money big time.
Big events You can’t build peoples’ visions. Big events can. Big events
stretch vision, bring the team to a higher level, fulfill major commitments, make major decisions, provide giant food for giants.
You can never build a big team unless you understand the importance of the big event.
In a big event there is magic in crowds. The environment creates a condition for change. When
people travel far away from home and spend money and time, they listen more seriously. When people travel, the team works together with more intensity and urgency.
People tend to compare themselves to others and when they see others do it it motivates them.
A Team in bad shape indicates that: 1. The leader is distracted.2. The leader begins to cool down.3. The leader cares less about his business. 4. The leader lacks communication. 5. The leader lacks overlapping leadership.6. The leader is not focused on building but
sales.
Anatomy of a recruiting explosion. 1. A high level of frustration.2. An unusual surge in the attitude and vision of
the leader.3. A big dream written down in a specific plan in
6 places. 4. A mastermind alliance of key builders. 5. A daring action/ a bold move!!!!!!!!
