Today
kicks off the Sales Department's blogging efforts on True Success, our plan
over the next year to bring new pricing, incentives, selling support, and
training to help all IBOs take their businesses to the next level.
It's
also my first time writing to the Opportunity Zone! I'm Angie Polsgrove, Amway
Global's Sales Transformation Manager. I report
directly to Sandy Spielmaker and for the past 10+ years, I've been working with IBOs on growing their
businesses and developing key metrics for tracking growth. It's my passion! But
back to True Success…
True
Success is about what this business opportunity offers to all IBOs through
several new programs we introduced at Achievers 2008. Programs like new pricing,
incentives, selling support, and training. True Success encompasses:
-
Programs like FAST TRACK (more below!) and
new pricing strategies to help IBOs focus their efforts and make more money,
sooner.
-
Retail Selling Systems -
new, targeted retailing strategies for growing profitability through customers.
-
Campaign Strategies that will
drive consumer interest with on-trend, targeted, and heavily promoted
campaigns.
True
Success is new. It's a change for all of us. So, in that spirit, I wanted to
share two of my favorite quotes about change. You may have heard them before,
but I think they're inspiring, and even a bit humorous, like this one: "Change
is inevitable – except from a vending machine!"
So
true! It's also true what author and poet Lynn Hall said (paraphrased): "We do
not change as we grow older. We just become more clearly ourselves."
True Success and the Fast Track program are a little like that. Perhaps not
huge changes, but reinforcements of our commitment to new people who join this
business. We've chosen to blog about Fast Track first in this series, because
frankly, it's generated the most excitement so far. And for good reason! We
launched Fast Track at the Achievers event in Las Vegas in December, and it was a crowd pleaser.
The basics are this:
- In a new IBO's first 90 days, he or
she can qualify for a $200 bonus by showing the beginnings of building a
balanced business with both retailing and sponsoring as components.
- Additionally, that IBO's upline(s),
the people that sponsored them into the business, can receive cash awards for
helping new IBOs qualify for the Fast Track program.
It's really that simple.
As Lynn Hall says, we are just "becoming more clearly ourselves." We've
always been passionate about helping new IBOs succeed. Since Rich and Jay
founded Amway, we've been committed to a level playing field, one in which a
new IBO has as much opportunity as anyone in the business.
Fast Track rewards IBOs – at all levels – who are doing the right things to
encourage building a balanced business, and recruiting of others who want to do
the same.
If you're an IBO, details of the Fast Track program can be found here once you log in to our web site. If
you're thinking of becoming an IBO, ask the person who is sponsoring you about
Fast Track, or pose specific questions here in the Opportunity Zone for us to
answer.
Either way, we think you'll be pleasantly surprised with what you'll find.
