Hello Florence,
This is an interesting question and one which I guess we all have our own answers for.
What needs to be taken into account here is to differentiate between motivation and peer pressure…..whilst you want to develop and motivate your team, you do not want to appear to be demanding and trying to sell things for your own gain.
So how do you do this? I will just tell you what I do and perhaps you can follow it and amend it to your own standards.
Firstly, I tell my team what I am doing and what I have gained from doing it. For example, I will send a team mail out and I will say the following:
“For those of you who are considering purchasing an SBuilder unit as part of your standing order, I will give you my experience. Last month I purchased one SBuilder Unit. I had to wait for 3 weeks for my PSAs to start coming in. Over a period of 3 days or so, I received 4 PSAs, one of which is working and has achieved EA2 status”
A paragraph similar to this does not make any demands on your team to purchase anything but they can clearly see what you have achieved by having an SBuilder unit and perhaps will encourage them to purchase one for themselves.
You can apply this type of paragraph to most anything…….just tell your team what you have achieved yourself and how it has helped to build your business.
