This week in my L.E.A.P. Group Coaching we did a whole session on creating accountability in your team and it reminded me what being accountable means to having a successful Direct Sales business.
As leaders, in order to gain your team’s trust and be respected you must be accountable to your team members. This is part of becoming a strong and dynamic leader. Being accountable is about being responsible for your actions in leading your team.
Those actions are shown through all the ways show consistency in your team. When you are consistent in supporting your team every day, every week, every month with your systems in place, your team feels loved and they know you are the place they will go to when they are in need for help and encouragement.
Accountability shows up in every area of your Direct Sales Business. Here are 4 ways to keep yourself accountable to your success in growing your Direct Sales Business.
#1 Accountability starts with you!
ACCOUNTABILITY STARTS WITH YOU as the leader! You do this by setting clear expectations. You help team members be accountable to having successful parties.
You SHOW UP… You show up for company meetings, you show up for every convention, you show up for leaders retreats, you show up for new product launches, you show up for team meetings… you show up in your TEAM facebook page every day!
SHOWING Up for all these important areas of your business, starts with you – you are ROLE MODELING the behavior of showing up.. which shows to your team, that you are a responsible and reliable leader! And when they know that – they will take action, they will do the work!
In the L.E.A.P. Group coaching program, we work with the saying, “If it’s to be it’s up to me!”
#2 Systems make you accountable
Having systems in place for your team helps you track sales, bookings and recruiting. The CALENDAR GIRLS Team Booking system is a KEY system that all my coaching clients work in, so they know who is booking and when their parties are being held. This helps them connect with team members to support them with any obstacles, and more importantly to celebrate with them when they have a party success like a $1000 in party sales, or two future bookings, or a new recruit they met at the party.
In our L.E.A.P. Group Coaching program we work on specific systems to help you grow your business like
- Booking and Recruiting systems
- Time Management Systems
- Goal systems
This week I left a LIVE video on my Facebook Biz page with a tip from my recruiting system. Listen and watch here.
#3 Be accountable to your Calendar
Work on your personal business! Keep your OWN bookings consistent and solid every week.
Track your team events on your calendar, and use your calendar to schedule all the important areas of your business that make your work successful.
Having a TEAM CALENDAR keeps the whole team focused on bookings. IN The CALENDAR GIRLS system we work with a power list, we call the 1 thru 31 list, where we list everyone’s names who are holding parties for the month. Team members love to be accountable to that list, and more than anything, they are supporting and caring for each other because they know everyone else is also booking and holding parties. They cheer each other on each party that’s added to the calendar
#4 Have an accountability partner! 
This is the BONUS of the L.E.A.P. Group coaching program. Each leader gets to have ME (my coaching expertise) as their accountability partner. Every week we connect via laser email with them sharing three things.
- Their accomplishments for the week, which allows me to celebrate any successes they’re having
- Any obstacles that are stopping them from moving forward. I usually get back to them within a day to walk them through an obstacle and help them overcome what they need to do to have success.
- Their intentions going forward. When I know they are on the right track for them to moving forward, they get a big shout out from me and more coaching to help them achieve their next weeks goals.
So, what about you?
