Finding Your Next Superstar Ambassador: The #1 Secret

Source: Wikipedia.com
Oftentimes when a new Plexus Ambassador gets started, they have several people in mind that they
think "would do great in the business". The Ambassador usually has people in mind that they believe are "real go-getters", "smart in business", and "sales minded". But time and time again, the new Ambassadors find themselves let down when those "superstars" won't even try Plexus. Sometimes they do try Plexus and the superstar becomes an Ambassador, but for some reason, they never really do anything with it.

It is understandable that people are disappointed when things don't work out the way they envision. Who would not love to have those people on their team who love the products and really "get it" when it comes to the business? But, when an ambassador let's herself get discouraged because she is not finding that "superstar", she could end up selling herself short, believing that it is just not happening fast enough.

Michelle, my wife, recently posted this in our "Rock the Pink" group page for our Ambassador team:
"It took me weeks when I first started to get my first customer (other then my mom but that doesn't count:), I had customers that didn't lose right away and I had team members that insisted that NO ONE wanted to try Plexus in their town or circle and so decided to turn their back office off. I have been criticized at times for being on the Plexus Craze and have had people say it's a "scam"........I have been discouraged myself in the beginning when I saw others "move the ranks" faster then I could blink......I had family along the way even try the product and want their money back........WHAT IF I WOULD HAVE GIVEN UP???...Consistency and hard work always win mixed in with being educated and staying positive ALWAYS!"
When it comes to finding superstar Ambassadors, it is almost always a surprise. We never really know when someone is going to just take off with Plexus. But there is one secret that will help you find that next superstar, and it is guaranteed to work. Are you ready for it? Here it is: Be Your Next Superstar. Create events in your town. Show up for your ambassadors when they need assistance. Answer your phone. Communicate with your customers. Talk to strangers. Be friendly. Study your products and know what they do, and what to recommend. Learn how to do a full presentation. Join meet up groups. Travel to where you see growth happening in your team. Encourage others!

If you will do all of this, then you will be a shining example, and guess what, you will also have created something for others to replicate. When you teach others do the same thing, it won't be long until you have not just one or two superstars, but a team full of them! People who have been around me have heard me say this many times: There are roughly 300,000,000 people in the U.S. At least 250,000,000 of those people have a need that our products can help with. We have not even scratched the surface of our potential in this country and there is plenty of opportunity to go around. Become your next superstar, and you will find your next superstar, and your success.
