The True Power of Mentoring

“In a battery, I strive to maximize electrical potential. When mentoring, I strive to maximize human potential”- Donald Sadoway. MLM is a three-dimensional business. It’s not always about moving prospects to the products or opportunity that you have to offer. There is the mentoring side as well that has potential to do more than what sales or marketing could. Word of

mouth is still one of the most used forms of praising or slamming a business. As you consider this point, mentoring can be used to attract and to train prospects. It is not a static element like phone numbers in a phone book.

Helping your prospects through mentoring You can do so much more in marketing through mentoring. You can teach and inspire others to go for their dreams or ambitions without having to sell to them. If you never sign them up for your business, its okay. By creating content that talks to them and helps them, you will find prospects that will work with you. While yes there are other marketers online or at trade shows, you are you and have your own magnetism. This is why it’s important to understand your “why” and stay rooted into it. Your mentoring program is an important part of you and for your business.

Mentoring your new prospects in the business Once you have prospects in your business, mentoring is especially important. This will help your teammates understand how the business operates. This is where you shine and help bring out the best in every person that you work with. You don’t have to commit every waking moment to a single person. Scheduling times to work with the individual is important. Balancing out time for you and other tasks is important. While working with the person, always be encouraging and answer

questions with a positive spin. It’s fine to be realistic, but you don’t want that person to feel hopeless or too confident.

Mentoring is a tool that you need to use in your business. Training and motivational material isn’t enough to get the job done. By working with your potential and current prospects, you can get a real sense of the world outside your business. You can help others in a variety of fashions, but unless you’re a licensed psychiatrist, try to avoid medical issues. You don’t need a five-star suit, or a Harvard education. Be yourself and relax, most times its general conversation that you do anyways.
