This is a great question and one that has definitely been on my mind a lot lately.
The 1st day of the 2nd month is where we "separate the men from the boys", so to speak. What I mean by that is...the first month is easy. You get a lot of points real quick. Good things happen. You get excited because you are moving up. You might even have a small team of your own and a few thousand VP and things are looking great!
Then, you log in on the 1st of the month and VP says 0. What? Where did they go? Maybe some panic sets in. You're searching for answers. Hopefully, you can find them as I had to do. My sponsor was not active and there is not a lot of contact from other up-line members. That's ok...for me. Probably not, for most others. I was never made aware of what to expect.
I think that at some point during that 1st month, we need to look at who is really moving on our team. Most affiliates are going to be idle. That's a given. There is no point wasting time coaching these people about the 2nd month when they obviously can't do the 1st month. That's just the way I see it. We need to find out where our mover's heads are. Are they really willing to put in the effort necessary to succeed in this business? This is where we find out.
Send a message to your movers. Let them know what to expect when they log in. Ask them if they are ready to put forth the effort to repeat the whole process every month. If they are not, they will not succeed. If they are ready and willing to keep on going and not worry about it but just do it, you have the cornerstones of your business foundation. Don't overload them with canned info they can get from their own research. Tell them what it is really like and tell them to just "look at me". I did it because I have the desire to succeed. Do you? Be polite but at the same time, blunt. Reality is blunt and in your face. I really hope this helps somebody as I am getting ready to do exactly this with my movers.
Have a great day and never give up!
