It's no secret that Tiger Woods always
plays to win. Every time he tees up that little white ball, on every
shot. That leaves the rest of his competitors having to play for
the next place,
or to just place somewhere in the top 10,
top 25, top 50, or even just making the cut.
Do you believe you get what you aim for?
If you adjust your aim, and aim a little
higher, do you think you will achieve better results?
If it works for Tiger I think you can make
it work for you!
Let's examine the name: "T.I.G.E.R."
Here are some ideas based on how I believe
Tiger Woods wins golf tournaments.
T => Time.
He takes time to plan and prepare for
every golf shot. Adjusting for the wind is important. He's
looking at treetops, cloud formations and movements, and tossing grass
in the air to get a feel for the wind's
direction and speed.
He's totally focused.
In PartyLite, you should plan and prepare
for every sales opportunity. Put your "Goals &
Objectives" in writing. Before you make any Customer
Service Contacts, take a moment to visualize a
successful service call.
I => Inventive.
Tiger is inventive.
He's never boring. He takes calculated
risks, especially when the payoff is big.
He also practices the difficult shots that
he takes during a tournament.
His current statistics include:
#1 in scoring average,
#2 in driving distance,
#1 greens in regulation,
#3 birdies, and
#3 sand saves.
He's the "Complete Golf
Package".
I repeat, "He's totally
focused"!
How inventive and creative are you in your
demonstrations?
Are you working to convert your
shortcomings into strengths?
Are you able to cite at least (6) six
things you're doing differently during the last 60 days?
Do you take risks on a daily basis?
Do you practice your demonstrations while
driving in your car or do you practice them in your hostesses home?
How often do you ask the question
"How can I do it better"?
Are you the complete "Selling and
Sponsoring Package?"
G => Goals.
He has them and shares them. One of his
goals is to win every tournament he plays in.
I can't imagine anyone else in
professional golf having that goal. There are players and
spectators. I can't help feeling that some of the players on the PGA
Tour become spectators when Tiger's in the tournament.
I repeat, "He's totally focused".
To increase your profits, set very
specific sales and sponsoring goals for yourself.
Always, always, always aim higher than the
sales & sponsoring averages you are given by PartyLite.
Remember you get what you aim for. If you
set your sights on the ground, you will likely hit your target almost
every time. It takes a little practice and skill to raise your
target and continue hitting it.
So why in the world don't you aim higher?
E=> Energy and enthusiasm.
Tiger is in great physical shape.
He was the last one to leave the driving
range the night before the final round on Saturday night.
All the rest of the players walked slowly
from the 16th green to the 17th tee.
After 16 holes on that extremely hilly and
oftentimes wet Black Course, many golfers slumbered up to the 17th
tee.
Not Tiger Woods though. He marched up to
the tee box, with an: "I can't wait to hit the ball" look in
his eyes.
I repeat, "He's totally
focused".
In PartyLite, many of the people you call
on lack your enthusiasm and they often suffer from a lower energy
level. They will always respond more positively to enthusiastic
and high-energy
"Personal Candle Consultants".
If you get excited about your products, so
will your customers!
R => Results.
Tiger gets results. Enough said. You
can not imagine all of the distractions the Professional Golfers have
to deal with. At one point, watching the event on my television,
even I could hear the
mounted police and their horses hitting
the pavement 20 yards behind the 17th tee! When the
announcers were quiet, I could hear the beeping horn of a delivery
truck backing up nearby on a service road, crying babies, laughing
adults all being drenched from a downpour. None of this seemed to
distract Tiger.
I repeat, "He's totally focused".
Tiger gets results because he can focus on
the task at hand. He is a master of eliminating most all
distractions - I mean at times, all distractions.
In your PartyLite business practices, how
much more effective would you be if you spent more time focusing on
your customers and less time dueling with your distractions?
What you need to discover now is how to do
less multitasking and more hostess/customer focus.
To achieve better quality parties with a
higher attendance which converts to more sales
YOU NEED TO BE TOTALLY FOCUSED.
