When it comes to building a team in Direct Sales, you need to remember that people join Direct Sales Businesses for different reasons.
When you are interviewing your next potential team member, it's important to find out how they 'plan' on working the business. Knowing this information before giving them your business opportunity speech, will help you to tailor the conversation in a way that will yield you the best results.
Example: Someone who is only interested in joining your business for a personal discount, doesn't need to listen to an hour long speech about home parties, training classes and team building.
You might be a career consultant, but that doesn't mean your next team member will be.
