Spark Your September with Referrals
Does this sound familiar?
“I don’t know who to talk to.”
“I’ve talked to absolutely everyone I can think of.”
“There’s no way I can add one more new name to my list!”
“I’ve reached out to everyone I know!”
“What do I do now?”
It’s not unusual for Direct Sellers to think they’ve run out of people to talk to. After sharing their business with some family members, friends, and co-workers, they wearily ask themselves, “Now who can I talk to?”
You must consistently reach out to find new prospects in order to create long-lasting success in your in Direct Selling business.
This month we’ll review a simple and easy-to-learn process that will ignite your September prospecting results, and lead you into a revolving door of ongoing customers and business partners.
If you are ready and willing to play full out, you can master the art of referrals and spark your September business.

Analyze This
Every social platform has dashboards that measure the success of your social media content. You can check your stats at the end of each week to get a pulse on your activity – and again at the end of each month for a broader perspective. Learn to track your progress and interpret the data. This will allow you to build your social media platform with expertise. You’ll find a help tool on each platform with tutorials on how to interpret your analytics.
The statistics on each platform that will be most beneficial are:
- Facebook: Reach and Engagement
- Instagram: Followers, Likes, and Comments
- Twitter: Tweet Impressions, Profile Visits, and Followers
September Challenge: Visit your preferred platforms and review the analytics dashboard. Monitor your progress on a regular basis each week. Use the data you gather to refine your strategy.

Time Management Tip
Don’t Panic – Prioritize!
A key strategy for achievement in every month is to jumpstart the month on day one. From a financial perspective, it’s your best move. If your company gives you the whole month to create commissionable volume – then why not use the whole month? You owe it to yourself and your business, regardless of holidays or other distractions.
In months like September, when Labor Day weekend falls early in the month, this becomes essential. Your goal is to work effectively around and THROUGH the holiday weekend.
If you wait until after the holiday to take action, you lose more than just a few days, you lose precious time. You lose all those hours when you could have made contacts, asked for referrals, signed-up new customers, followed up with prospects, and enrolled new Consultants.
Each month, get out of the gate on the first day to stay ahead of the pack and avoid falling behind.
Yet, what happens if you do fall behind? What happens when you feel the panic of having more to do than hours in the day to do it? Holidays can compound this situation.
That’s the time to stop – breathe – then prioritize. Look at your list and move from high level – where you see everything that’s on your plate – and scroll down to low-level to prioritize your next steps.
Multitasking, or doing several things at once, is a trick we play on ourselves, thinking we’re getting more done. In reality, our productivity goes down by as much as 40%. Research shows that multitasking isn’t just inefficient, it’s stressful. So avoid this trap.
During long weekends, there’s the possibility of getting overwhelmed with your To Do list. Yes, it’s important to enjoy the holiday; but you must also stay consistent with your business. And if you do find yourself unexpectedly swamped, rather than hit the panic button, remember: breathe – then prioritize your activities. You’ll find it refreshing, even liberating, to focus on one activity at a time and see it through.
If you need help with identifying your next steps, talk to your Sponsor or an upline leader for guidance. Prioritize rather than panic – and you’ll experience a lot more joy in your productivity.
Motivational Message
Create a Compelling Vision
If you could design your life – any area of your life – to be exactly as you want it, what would it look like? Where will you be? Who would you be with? What work would you be doing? How will you be impacting the world and making a living at the same time? What will your day look like? How much will you be earning?
The answers to these questions are the first steps to creating a compelling Vision for your life and business.
Let’s consider the power inspired by VISION:
A VISION…
- Engages your heart, mind and spirit as you bring it to fruition
- Gives your everyday life significance and meaning
- Is fun, invigorating and breathes new life into your journey
- Allows you to release unexpressed desires
- Creates the discipline to take action
- Keeps you connected to your deepest desires
Discover VISION in your own life:
One thing I know for sure is that when it’s time to ignite your passion in any area of your life, there’s no better way to do this than by creating, revisiting and/or enhancing your Vision. You can design your life, and the process is a lot of fun.
A compelling Vision is a written description of the exciting – even amazing – life you want to be living at a defined time in the future. It’s a snapshot of something you want so badly that you’re willing to take risks and stay in motion to see it become your reality.
Your Vision is an expression of what you will manifest in both your personal and professional life in order to make the contribution you are here to make, and live the quality of life you are here to live.
It’s best if it’s significant, expansive and filled with things that thrill and inspire you. Your Vision is your path to follow as it leads you to your greatness.
It takes commitment to gain clarity on your Vision; to see it, develop it and articulate it. Do not put this off for another day! Begin right now to access your compelling vision with these easy tips:
- Write it out on paper, in your journal or in a sketchbook. Do not be stingy with details. Go all out! The more the better.
- Feel it by noticing what feel-good emotions it evokes when you consider having all this in your life.
- Picture it in a dream scrapbook, or vision board, where you put clippings of pictures, words, and images that represent your vision. Visually capture the exciting things you want in your life.
- Gather it by taking notice of things in your surrounding environment that move you and resonate with what you want in your future vision.
- Draw it using coloring pencils, paint, or crayons to express the vibrant energy you want it to include.
Take the time to work on your Vision. Don’t limit your imagination with thoughts of what’s “not quite right” or what’s “probably wrong”, or “not really possible”. This is your Vision of the future you want to live into. This is not the time to play small. This is the time for unlimited thinking and imagination.
Bringing your Vision to life is the ultimate journey! That’s why I encourage you to start your extraordinary adventure today.
Start today to develop the mindset and the skill set to create Outrageous Achievement.
