Many times when I have written emails or notes to friends and clients, they often reply to say that I have been very positive in my outlook though I do not think that, that is what I was conveying.
Communications with your Designated Diamonds must be as powerful as your intention to get them to achieve their goals. These are the people who have chosen to lead not only themselves but showcase their leadership skills to their team members. Everything must have a positive outcome, a positive attitude, a positive solution.
Your Designated Diamonds have accepted the challenge you have provided to them and you must therefore give them some incentives - create short term goals first. If you have 5 affiliates who are EA2s (Executive Affiliates who either have a Standing Order or have been EA for 2 months in SFI), you need to show them that you care for their well being and I would suggest these steps to not only encourage but ensure that they will move with you to the Top.
a) Set a competitive spirit within the group, use your Genealogy to filter your Designated Diamonds and keep making sure through your team mail that they have not side-tracked. A competition for them to reach the next level of leadership would be a good start.
b) Give away gift certificates to them or reassign affiliates to boost their morale
c) A regular skype call or video chat would really get things off the ground because now you have a visual contact and that helps in establishing a rapport.
d) If your affiliates are in the same region, a cup of coffee and a general discussion would indeed break the ice and help you understand your affiliates better.
e) Remember your team members are your business partners and you must be able to establish a professional relationship with them without discrimination.
f) If you can, talk over the phone - this tells them that you are making sure that they are being looked after as best as possible and this is your priority role as a Sponsor.
Be mindful of cultural differences, language barriers and other hurdles that can create a conflict if not addressed in the right manner. Do not take your affiliates for granted, appreciate them and they will support your business. They do not have to be DD to support you, they will do it without any pressure because they know the value and potential of an ongoing business that will generate valuable income for them in the future. You have to show them through your experiences!
