The best way to ask for an interview is with a compliment. I’ve been listening to you. I’ve been watching you. I’ve been thinking about you and you are so wonderful. Give a specific compliment to that person. Then ask permission to tell them about your opportunity. You might say, “I’d love to have you on my team”, or “You are so fun to be with” or “I don’t know if you want to sell or not. Can I give you the information?”

  • Listen for those clues.
  • Watch people interact with others.
  • Be sincere and genuine.
  • Be interested in others and how you might help them.

Many direct sellers are finding new team members in the most interesting places. Looking online is important, and offline is too. Where did you find your last team member?

Finding the right words is one of the most important keys to better recruiting.
