The Go-Getter. “I have some leaders who didn’t take long at all to get onboard. They are go-getters, and are
creative and business-minded. Honestly, I didn’t have to do much for them.”
The Product-User. “They just want to use the product, but they don’t want to bother anybody about buying
them. I’m patient with them. I make sure they know about events and meetings. Eventually, something clicks and
they realize they aren’t being pushy by sharing, they’re just helping people.”
The Self-Doubter. “Other people have a lot of self-doubt. I teach them some positive affirmations to help them
overcome this. I try to keep them motivated and help them see the big picture. As they learn more and as you
nudge them outside of their comfort zone, they gain more confidence.”
