It’s Summer! It’s time to have fun! But don’t forget to work and inspire your team to work! Keeping lots of fun in your business during the summer helps keep your team members engaged! Here’s 3 thought-starters you may want to do to use for your team.

  • Scavenger Hunt for Leads – Challenge your team to “hunt” for leads everywhere they go, getting names, phone numbers and email addresses of people they meet. Invite your team to post every time they get a new lead on your Facebook page and tell where they got the lead. Reply to each post and make a big deal of congratulating those who are posting their leads. Have a drawing among those who have posted.
  • Fun in the Sun Booking Blitz – Choose 2 weeks and challenge your team to book 5 parties/appointments to hold during that time. Everyone who meets the challenge gets a gift from you and recognition in your newsletter or on your Facebook page. Again, make it fun for those who make this challenge by recognizing and presenting the gifts at your next meeting.
  • Have a Recruiting Beach Party – Set a goal for the number of new Consultants you want to invite into your business during a two week period. Set the date in August or September. Share the goal with your team. When they make the goal, invite them and their new consultant to a “beach party.” This could be held at your home, restaurant or at your next meeting. Use beach themed decorations and have everyone bring food to share. Or instead of a beach party, you may want to give everyone a beach themed gift.

Be sure to recognize the recruiter and welcome the new consultant on your Facebook page. Some fun things you may want to use as gifts could be flip flops, beach balls, beach towels, beach chairs, shells, sunglasses, suntan lotion, sand pails, and shovels. Think of anything that reminds you of the beach or summertime.

The main thing is to have fun as you promote the challenge (s) you choose to do.

Be serious about your business, and have fun while doing it.  Happy Summer to All!
