1 BUILDING A TEAM If yu are asking yurself why build a team? here are a few things t cnsider. It s mre fun t wrk with peple yu like. Sharing experiences, ideas and laughs is always better than ging it alne. When yu welcme team members, yu earn 2-8% n their accunt balances, withut grup vlume r ther requirements. (The larger and mre active yur team, the mre it adds up each week.) A CM business the missin, prducts, the camaraderie, the incme, the rewards - is t gd nt t share with thers. It may be just what they need in their life. Advisr Debi Lewy has a team f 13 and grwing, and has gathered the cllective wisdm f her years in the business and ther Advisrs experiences t ffer these recmmendatins. First, think abut what yu mst enjy abut yur business. What I lve: CM changes the wrld ne memry, ne stry, ne cmpleted album at a time. It s easy. And it s rewarding in mre ways than ne. Our Advisrs ften say, I can t believe I get paid t d this. Part time. Full time. Anytime. As a CM Advisr, balancing wrk and family culdn t be easier. Building a team is ne f the favrite parts f my business. These are the things I lk fr in a gd business partner (by the way, yu can meet them anywhere): Smene wh lves CM, phts r scrapbking Smene I feel cmfrtable with and wuld like T be at a BBQ with T share a car ride with T wrk fr Sme wh wuld be gd at sharing: Prducts t custmers r CM t prspective Advisrs (r even better) Bth Smene wh likes t teach We all have thse custmers wh lve t help Smene wh asks questins 1

2 The first way I share the pprtunity is in a ne-n-ne setting, which is hw many Advisrs lk t grw their business. Once yu ve fund the perfect additin t yur team and they seem interested in CM: Cmpliment them n the qualities yu see in them Sharn, yu have s many gd ideas! r Nicle, yu have a way f lighting up a rm. Yu wuld make a great Advisr have yu ever thught abut a CM business? If they have an interest, schedule a fllw up cnversatin. During that cnversatin, help them find their why (why they want t be an advisr) Is it the glamur Time t d smething fr themselves (that als benefits their family) $$$$$$ - culd they use a little extra t cver bills r ffer fun mney each mnth? Discunts dn t leave ut these custmers. Many f us started ut just fr the discunt. Lve f phts and/r scrapbking Let them ask the questins, dn t try and sell. Be a gd listener. They may say yes right away and yu can help them sign up, r they may need mre time. Let yur relatinship grw! Yu ve planted the seed. Fr sme, the time may be right a mnth r a year frm nw. The secnd way t share the business pprtunity is at a large event, like at a Natinal Scrapbk Day, Open Huse, Retreat, Crptberfest, etc. Whether yu hld the event by yurself r have an event with multiple Advisrs, having a Business Opprtunity discussin as part f the day is beneficial fr many reasns: Safety in numbers Yur custmers wn t feel singled ut Custmers wn t want t g alne s she ll ask a friend t jin her The excitement is cntagius yu may add mre than ne Advisr t yur team While at yur event, hw d yu get guests t attend the Business Opp cnversatin? Offer a raffle ticket just fr attending. One persn can win a gift basket. OR, give everyne 1 ticket as they are arrive at the meeting and d multiple drawings fr smaller gifts thrughut yur presentatin. 2

3 Here is the presentatin I did at a Natinal Scrapbk Day Event; it was a multiple Advisr event with abut 15 Advisrs. Nte: we prvided everyne wh attended a cpy f the Earnings Plan fr Tday which yu can print frm the Advisrs Back Office, Marketing Tls page. We als included a questin and answer perid. Why Creative Memries? It just might be exactly what yu're lking fr. Ask: what wuld yur dream jb include? (Ask attendees t participate here) Flexible hurs? A hme-based business? Freedm t put family and persnal pririties first? Unlimited incme ptential? Career advancement n yur wn terms? A generus discunt n pht-safe albums and supplies? Lasting friendships? Persnal grwth? Fun nights ut? Recgnitin fr a jb well dne? Meaningful wrk? (If sme f these were missed say Sme thers might be ) If yu said "yes" t just ne f these, picture yurself as a Creative Memries Advisr. And yu wn t be alne. Yur upline will be with yu every step f the way - whether yur business hurs are part-time r full-time. We ffer nging training and recgnitin thrughut yur career.
