Team Motivation for Direct Sales

July 8, 2018 By Joni Kinney Leave a Comment

Team motivation applies to everyone. Everyone is on or leads a team of some sort. You may be a team leader of your family, your friends, your town board or lead a group at a corporate job. No matter what having a confident team and team motivation determine how successful you are on a daily basis.

5 Keys to Team Motivation Success

  1. Lead from the front – Don’t ask your team members to do things you wouldn’t do. If you aren’t putting your best foot forward your team and those around you will know it. Your team will feel like you don’t care and that is precisely the opposite of what you want.
  2. There is POWER in staying POSTIVE. Negativity has no place in a team setting so keeping a positive mindset is critical. Find ways to encourage, work through issues and put positivity at the forefront of all the things you do.
  3. Have a single mission. Everyone on the team needs to understand the big picture. What are you trying to accomplish? Having a purpose no matter what type of organization can mean the difference between success and failure, your mission can and should change over time. Whether your mission is to make it through the day with no boo-boos or to redesign the corporate logo you need to know what you are trying to accomplish.
  4. Don’t spend time concentrating on things you can’t control. You can only control your reaction, your influences, and your attitudes. Don’t waste time trying to convince others you are right or your way is best. Merely lead the way, and they will get onboard with your vision or they will not. Exuding to much energy into something you can’t control is exhausting and won’t change the outcome anyway.
  5. Gratitude! Showing others they matter means so much to them. It is your job as the leader to help your team stay positive and showing them they matter to you and each other. Team members who feel like they matter are more likely to want to stay engaged and part of the team. Help them see the vision, recognize their accomplishments (even if small) and encourage them to understand and accept others.

 

Team Motivation Quotes

  1. Your energy is contagious. Either you affect people or you infect them.
  2. Replace “I can’t” with “How can I?”
  3. If you love someone, do not let them settle for less than their best.
  4. When “We” comes before “Me,” you become the person and TEAM you are meant to be.
  5. One person can’t make the team, but one person can break a team.
  6. Dream big, sparkle more, shine brightly.
  7. A little progress each day leads to big results.
  8. Excellence is not a skill; it’s an attitude
  9. Believe in yourself
  10. Be brave enough to believe in yourself.

Direct Sales: What types of Instagram Photos should I post?

May 23, 2018 By Joni Kinney Leave a Comment

Instagram is an amazing tool you can use to express your personality for both personal and business. However many people wonder what are the best Instagram photos to post? Here are some different types of instagram photos that will allow you to help maximize your engagement and interaction.

Instagram Photos with Quotes

The first type of photo you will often see is something with a fun quote. These quotes are often motivational and inspirational. They can be so fun to read what others think people need to see. Keep these types of posts short!

Don't stop until you are proud of yourself! #motivation #myameliajames #ameliajames #quote #motivationalquote

Current Events

By being responsible and posting to relevant current event hashtags will pull people to you. If you combine this with good hashtags, great content and useful ideas/perspectives on things happening around us right now will help boost your posts. Make sure you are not taking advantage of social situations or current events though as that would do the opposite of what you are trying to accomplish.

Organizational Photos

There is something to be said about a well lit, fun photo of objects. This is another great way to help push forward your brand awareness. Read more about how to brand yourself if you don’t already have a personal brand established.

Seasonal Photos

There is just something fun about Christmas Lights, BBQ photos, Valentines hearts and fun loving photos around holidays that make people happy. Your audience should want to get to know you and what your family is doing. That doesn’t mean you have to always share overly personal things, but giving your audience a glimpse into your life makes you relatable. That makes people want to get to know you, and to ultimately follow you on social media.

Selfies

Look to take selfies in unique places to provide fun backgrounds. I’ve recently taken some selfies in hardware stores, craft stores, and randomly along the road. Try to mix in your unique personality with your selfies and show your audience a variety of things and unique color blends to stand out.

With all those ideas the number one characteristic of amazing content that will attract new people to your photo is the ability of your audience to relate to the photo. If you are being authentic, sharing good content, fun ideas and being genuine people are sure to find you.

Great photos and an awesome hashtag strategy are sure fire ways to get you more followers on Instagram. If you want additional tips on how to rock out Instagram I suggest you check out the Suite Success with Instagram video course! This course will help you set up your profile, content and hashtag strategy!
