My latest weekly sales motivation sent to my team: (Remember to join my team by DM me).
**Subject: "Simplify Your Success!"**
Hello Team,
Success as a Financial Representative is actually simple. It starts with one powerful skill: learning how to connect with the people already around your life.
Not scripts.
Not perfection.
Not pressure.
Just connection.
Here are simple ways that connection already exists:
• A quick chat with your neighbor
• A conversation at your child’s school event
• Talking with your barber, hairstylist, or gym partner
• A friendly chat at a coffee shop
• Reaching out to someone you haven’t spoken to in years
You and I both know our goal in this business is to help other people—to make a real difference in our members’ lives. This business is not about us. It’s about others.
And the way we succeed in helping others is by first connecting with them.
It begins with something as simple as:
“Hi, I’m Andrew—nice to meet you.”
Here are a few easy starters:
• “How long have you lived here?”
• “What line of work are you in?”
• “What do you enjoy doing outside of work?”
• “What’s important to you when it comes to your family and future?”
Now let’s be very clear:
Prospecting is the lifeblood of any successful business. You may have the best products and ideas in the world—but they do no good if you don’t tell anyone about them.
• Connection leads to conversation.
• Conversation leads to trust.
• Trust leads to opportunity.
• Opportunity leads to impact.
Success doesn’t come from complicated systems.
It comes from simple conversations—done consistently.
This week don’t overthink it.
• Just connect.
• Just prospect.
• Just help.
Wish all the best. Make this simple.
Positively Yours, A
Andrew Sotheby
