DISTRICT MANAGER ORIENTATION I’M A DISTRICT MANAGER, NOW WHAT? What is my Role? Set the next goal: Strive for a minimum goal of $5,000 + 5 new $150+ consultants, so you can earn your $200 District Manager bonus. Create your Plan of Action to promote to Area Manager. 1. Be the #1 Consultant in your district. Always strive to have the highest personal/combined sales and highest sponsoring. 2. Make regular presentations or REsults appointments. You should be holding at least 3 presentations or 6 REsults appointments per week. 3. Attend every event within driving distance—NTC is a must! 4. Spend daily self development time reading books or listening to CD’s about the business or personal growth. If you don’t know what to read or listen to, ask your upline for some suggestions. 5. Always speak positively about the company and your organization 6. Discipline Your Disappointments—don’t let your feelings get the best of you! Remember, this isn’t personal, this is a business. 7. Be teachable—ask your upline for feedback and coaching. Follow through on the advice they give you. 8. Lead by example, the leader sets the pace. If you aren’t doing the work and attending the meetings and events, don’t expect your team to. 9. Know when to let go and move on, our products aren’t right for everyone and our opportunity is not right for everyone. 10. Make daily preparations—use daily task journal to write out the 5 most important things you would like to get done tomorrow. To be successful, you must follow through on them. 11. Visualize and act the part you want and are becoming. Dress the part, speak the part, and envision yourself at your car presentation and walking the stage as an NVP. 12. Say, “Whatever it Takes!” Be committed. 13. Identify future managers and help them qualify. Helping your team reach their goals is the way you reach your goals. Its about them, not you. 14. Be a great communicator with your group on a regular basis. Telephone calls and emails to them regularly. Keep them motivated and on task. Remember: Positives—down, negatives—up! 15. Assist consultants with troubleshooting—first consult with your Area Manager, then to the RVP only if the Area Manager can not help you.
16. Spend 50% of your time on personal sales and sponsoring, 25% on working with your district, and 25% on promoting new district managers. 17. Realize that you set the tone—Speed of the leader, speed of the pack! 18. Always be professional. Anything you say is a reflection of who you are and where you are going. 19. Realize that we are in the events business and build for them. Hold and/or attend Opportunity Meetings. 20. Read your 21 Reasons Why often as affirmations. Keep your enthusiasm and commitment levels high at all times. 21. Don’t wait for your people to make it happen for you, you make it happen! “If it’s meant to be, it’s up to me”! 22. Duplicate yourself—if you were looking for a job, would you hire yourself? What would your team look like if they were all like you? 23. At the beginning of each month, email or call your wholesale consultants and clients about the new incentives, PWP’s, products and Internet specials. 24. Welcome new consultants to your District with a phone call or by email. 25. Provide Getting Started Training.
