![]() To be quite frank with you, I have never tried to “motivate” any of my sales people (dealers, associates, whatever). I always figured that those individuals who were “real” would take the bull by the horns and make the sales to make the money, because ...
In the words of Andrew Carnegie: "There is no use whatever trying to help people who do not help themselves. You cannot push anyone up a ladder unless he be willing to climb himself." Beyond that, as Frank Tibolt said: "We should be taught not to wait for inspiration to start a thing. Action always generates inspiration. Inspiration seldom generates action." Rather than wasting my time trying to "motivate" people, I have always spent my time supporting the efforts of those who were doing something. Just do it ... Jim Special FREE Report |

![]() hmm - maybe you would get better results if you did send irregular messages to your affiliates inspiring them.
Maybe sending them a success story of how some one else earned a good profit being your affiliate would give them the nudge they need to focus on selling your products. In my experience - I have found that the first sale is the deciding factor. If the affiliate gets commission from his first sale within a week or so - he focuses more on selling the product. He has seen some results - and so he is all set to roll. And in my experience - a few inspiring messages with case studies - would help the affiliate to get the first sale faster - and make him more determined in selling your products. But I have never tested this - and don't know for sure if sending inspirational case studies does increase the results of the affiliates. But its worth testing.

![]() Over the past 40 years, I have yet to find it worth the effort. And, YES, I have used every motivational trick in the book, at one time or another.
People who need to be stroked to do what they should do to make money really can't be helped. Sorry, Jim |
