ACTIVITIES 7
CRITICAL BUSINESS-BUILDING
what those Seven Critical Activities are. Learn them. Teach them to your team. Implement them daily and hold each other accountable. There is no secret to how the Senior and Executive Directors got where they are. They understand those seven activities and they work at them consistently. There is a magic way to build a large, successful Melaleuca business! It’s called hard work! Doing the right things! Every day! It’s truly magic! And it’s a blast! Of course, the most critical and the most important of the seven activities are the first two. The other five activities cannot happen without those two. Everything begins with creating a contact list and making appointments. Making a contact list is easy! That’s the best part! The first part is the easy part! My counsel is to add one name to your contact list every day. Just tell yourself you’re not going to go to bed unless you have added one name. I would also promise myself that I would try to make at least one contact every day. I would try to call someone from my contact list every single day. If they weren’t home, I would still count it anyway as one try. Many, many Marketing Executives are doing exactly that. Those who are really growing are doing even more than that every single day. It all starts with the first two activities. Then you can do the other five. Building a Melaleuca business is not easy. But it is simple.
The Secret to Success
1 Build Your Contact List
A MESSAGE FROM CEO FRANK VANDERSLOOT
years. The principles used in running a business are pretty much the same regardless of the type of business. First, you must determine the critical activities that drive the business, and then you must do them consistently. For years we have been teaching the Seven Critical Activities that drive a Melaleuca business. As I travel the country and meet with our Marketing Executives, I am surprised by how many of those who want to be successful cannot even tell me what the Seven Critical Activities are. It is evident that we have not done a very good job of explaining how crucial these activities are – especially activities 1 and 2: building your contact list every day and consistently making phone calls to set appointments. This is a business. We, as business operators, need to know, understand, and implement those activities that drive our success. We must be hard at it, doing those things every day. Those who are waiting for some gimmick or secret system to propel them into motion will never experience the reality of success. Nothing replaces hard work! Nothing! Of course we could all work hard doing the wrong thing. That’s why it is essential that we each understand
Melaleuca is flourishing! I am continually impressed by the endless hard work and enthusiasm of our Melaleuca Marketing Executives and the personal growth and success that we witness on a daily basis. As I have watched literally thousands of people prosper, I am convinced that nothing replaces persistent hard work as the main ingredient of success – not intelligence, not education, not strategy, not knowledge, not personality. Based on years of observation, it is clear that persistent hard work, faith in oneself, and focus on the right activities are the most sure ingredients for building a successful Melaleuca business. That is bad news for those who are looking for some get-rich-quick scheme to propel them into financial bliss, but it is good news for those who are looking for a sure method of financial success with no risk of loss and for those who are willing to pay the price for a great life. There is no gimmick here, no secret system, no being in the right spot at the right time. Just good old-fashioned hard work! That puts success into the grasp of every person who is willing to pay the price. Anyone can do it: old or young, rich or
poor, schooled or unschooled. They just have to be willing to work. And they need to have the capacity to believe in themselves. Of course, working at the wrong things will not help, but it’s pretty easy to learn the Seven Critical Business-Building Activities and to implement them. After 35 years of watching people succeed, it is very evident that those who continue to do
