Need Help Recruiting?

Here are a few tips:  

1. Make a Decision.... Decide to not give up!  If the first person you approach about being a Seint artist isn’t interested, learn to take feedback to heart and use it constructively for the next conversation.  Recruiting teammates is akin to selling the product... we don’t get a yes every time, so just expect it and move on.  

2. Develop a Recruiting Mindset... What drew you into Seint?  Was it our products, our sisterhood, our compensation plan, or something else? Whatever your “why,” use it as motivation to approach people without fear.  You’re sharing something you love with another person, and it’s something we do every day regarding clothes, foods, you name it.  We have nothing to lose by sharing something we feel will genuinely help someone else, so why not choose that mentality when speaking to prospective artists?  

3. Be Friendly and Interactive... Join groups of like-minded people who share hobbies or interests with you.  Get to know them!  That could be an entire sect of people who have never heard of your business, but who want to learn more once they get to know you.  In the same token, think of your “warm market” (friends and family who you know in “real life” - start there!)  

4. Develop Positive Daily Habits...  Strive to develop daily habits of connecting with others in your network.  Call them, send a message, or comment on their social media posts. Try in any way to let them know you care or exist, because nothing is worse than a “hey girl!” cold message.  Connection is everything!!  

5. Personal Development... You can achieve this through educative webinars, training, articles, and books that will help in your personal growth and expand your vision. If you truly seek to grow your team, it will not happen because someone else told you what to do.  One of the best books I’ve read is above (by Ray Higdon), but podcasts are also a wonderful way for busy folks to work on this.  

6. Tell Good Stories... This may sound odd, but the most charismatic folks always have the best stories. They draw us in and we want to know more, be around them more, hear more. Consider the best stories you’ve heard since starting as an artist, and don’t try to highlight the exception.  Not everyone aspires to build an empire, so keep that in mind when you’re prospecting.  Remember the teammate who sold her first $1k in makeup a year after starting, amidst a major struggle in her personal life?  That’s more motivating that the youtube sensation who sells $150k a month.  Be relatable.  

7. Listen and Ask Questions... Talking and selling can be challenging, and the only way you can understand your prospect's needs and wants is to ask questions. Too often, people are focused on talking about their compensation plan, products, and services (and how their company is excellent) rather than finding out what someone’s goals are.  

• So what are you looking for exactly? 
• What are your dreams and goals? 
• Where would you like to be in, say, 3 years? 
• What are you doing now to get yourself there? 
• How do you plan on accomplishing those goals, do you have a plan? 

Once you know the answers to those questions, ask this:  

If I had something that could get you there, would you be willing to take a look? 

These questions apply to every person, literally.  If I have plenty of money, but am desperate for friendship, see how you could spin our Seint sisterhood to fit my needs?  If I have a full-tank of friends, but need an extra $1k a month to pay off student loans, now you know that the compensation plan is a super helpful approach to take.  

Knowing the current problem = genuinely offering a solution.
