Monday Morning Motivation

[Happy Chef]

A long time ago I heard of a Director who would send her downline an email each Monday morning with a good quote. What a great idea!

[bethcooks4u]

Funny! I had just decided to send something like that out starting this month! I thought I'd start with my favorite quotes and and also include a business tip.

I know of an upper level director that has her three tips for the month. She has a huge downline, so she uses postcalls.com for those who she isn't planning on contacting that month - ie. hobbiests, inactives, etc.

[cmdtrgd]

Oh, those who she is going to contact that month get it live from her.

I wish my upline did things like that! We rarely even get the execu-flashes.

[dannyzmom]

We don't get the Execu-Flashes at all. I don't know where they are stopping but there is only my immediate upline and my NED between me and HO. Thankfully I get them from other Director friends.

I sent an email to my director and her director (the Exec.) and the exec responded that she doesn't send most down because PC sends many of them to us later and she doesn't want our email boxes to fill up.

I can always ignore or delete emails I don't need, thank you. I wish she'd reconsider but it's her business and she has the right to do it her way. I guess I just need to promote to Executive if I want it any different! :p

So these motivation emails with quotes. Where are you getting your quotes from? I know the book we got from Fed Ex at conference has a lot of cool quotes.

I have been doing a consultant connection on Mondays.
The Success Factory has had great short tips on recruiting, shows etc. that I have been using.
I then add sales leaders, if someone has called with exciting news. Just away to give some recognition to some that aren't top producers but do work their business as they can .

Is there a web site for this?

What is The Success Factory?

I have a perpetual calendar with 365 quotes, so I never run out. But if you searched online for motivational quotes there might be some websites with free ones. I used to use alot from the Successories catalog- they had awesome ones.

I just thought I would share my director's Monday Morning Motivation. This is an older one, but it is a good sample of what it usually looks like. I know she wouldn't mind me sharing. She does a great job motivating us!

Hey Team,

Hope you all are doing well.

The Success Factory has a daily/weekly brief newsletter via eamil. It is a training site but I have loved the information sent by them.

Also consultant connection is just something I thought of to send kudos, reminders. I have tried to keep it short, which is hard for me.
