Action Step 7: Everyone Needs A Mentor

Click to Watch! Action Plan Step 7 Video

Vemma is a people business—that’s why it is so much fun to build your business with friends. Think about enrolling a family member or a couple of friends, and build your businesses at the same time. Having a partner to support you, and you there to support him or her, will make the initial push to start your business seem that much easier.

Use your Contact List to start your search for Brand Partners. With your newly created 10-Second Vemma Introduction, start contacting the people on your list and share your story with them. Tell them why you started a Vemma business, and why you’re excited about sharing this opportunity and the nutritional products with them. Keep in mind that enrollment happens naturally when you love what you do and share it with others.

Be a Role Model

The role you have as an Enroller is critical. Most likely, you were your Brand Partner’s initial connection with Vemma and in many cases, one of the main reasons he or she started a business. As a Brand Partner, you become a leader when you enroll your first new member. All Brand Partners must create a Contact List and work with it—this is the first and most important mentoring step.

3 Steps to Remaining Positive

When you have issues or concerns about something, talk with your active Upline. We recommend remaining positive in all your Downline communications.
Lead through actions and encouragement. Your group will do half of the good things you do and twice the bad things.
Do the same things you’re teaching and coaching your team to do—this shows duplication and solidifies your credibility withthem, not to mention, it begins the process of developing leverage.

Listen to Your Brand Partner’s Needs

Find out if your Brand Partner desires more time and/or money. If more time, how much more time and what will that provide them? If more money, how much more money and what will he or she use it for? How much money will it take to bring them home from their current job?

By knowing what motivates your Brand Partners, you can help them create short- and long-term goals with a plan to achieve them. Remember to listen 80 percent of the time and talk 20 percent.

Once you start your Vemma business, it’s important to keep in touch with your Enroller and with others in your organization. Be sure to share your goals and/or any obstacles you may have encountered. Your Upline is your support in helping you attain your dreams. Get connected and stay connected with others who are doing exactly what you’re doing. Learn from them and teach others what you have learned. Your network will be there to support you, just as you’ll be there to support others.

Celebrate the Small Victories

Handwritten notes and cards are great tools to show your support as an Enroller and Upline.
Recognizing the accomplishment of his or her key goals during team meetings is great motivation.
Taking your Brand Partner to dinner is another great way to talk about Vemma while providing support and guidance for the future — make these types of things special (e.g., as a result of reaching a certain activity or business- building goal).

As you build and grow your business, you will find that your success is determined by how many people you can help and influence to become successful. Zig Ziglar says, “You can have anything you want in life if you will help enough people get what they want.” This powerful principle sums up what it takes to be successful with Vemma. You can build a winning team by attracting people who have a sincere desire for positive change and are willing to do something about it.

During this time, you’ll meet with your Upline Success Coach to form a game plan for training on how to conduct your Home Events based on the method of your choice. Your Enroller or Upline has vested interest in your success and will assist you with your first few activities scheduled the week you launch your business. This will give you several opportunities to get comfortable presenting Vemma nutritional products and the opportunity.

Review Your Time Commitments, Priorities, Activities, Results and Progress

Get oriented by reviewing your goals with your Upline. Ask him or her to guide you in the steps to building a successful Vemma business. The preliminary thinking you accomplish in this Action Plan will help you form your business plan and complete the remaining steps. This is your opportunity to learn from your Upline’s experience.

Create Action-Oriented Checklists

Where goal setting provides direction and motivation, action-oriented checklists provide task-level activities that need to be completed. Checklists provide a great way to show your new Vemma Brand Partners the power and simplicity of duplication.

When creating these checklists, the tasks should reinforce the steps needed to reach new goals. Additionally, checklists have proven to be extremely valuable in helping new Brand Partners get started correctly, without becoming overwhelmed with all the new Vemma terms, concepts and programs.

We recommend creating checklists in days and/or week time frames for the first months after getting someone started. After a Brand Partner becomes familiar with the products, business opportunity and approach to building a Vemma business, checklists can move to items that are discussed in your coaching sessions.

Even though you’ll be working for yourself, you’re not alone in Vemma—you have the support of an entire Upline to help you get your business off to a great start!
Remember, Vemma is a people business. Get connected with the people in your Upline and stay connected! When in doubt, ask questions.
