Excuses Excuses Excuses.<\/p>\n<p>So who specifically are you looking for?  What  qualities do they have?  Start by remembering the teachers, coaches and mentors you&#8217;ve had in your life.  What qualities made them a great teacher, coach or mentor?  FACT:  You must have some of those same qualities in order for you to recognize them in others.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, generating your customer base ot sales team is like looking to create your own Board of Directors for your international business. You&#8217;re only looking for 3-5 quality people that you can and will work with on a daily basis for the next 2-3 years as you build a profitable business while improving the quality of life worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>Make a list of the qualities your future board of directors will have; and very shortly after, they&#8217;ll start to show up on the other end of the phone.  They might be a lead, they might be someone you know, they might be the very next person you call&#8230;.and the only way you&#8217;ll know is if you know who you&#8217;re looking for.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230;on who our kids choose as friends\/associates.
