Tracking your business the write way

Hi Team,
 
One of the common problems I find with my coaching clients is a lack of proper tracking of their activities and results. And for those who do have some tracking in place... very rarely attempt to make adjustments in their activities to increase their results.
 
In other words... they just keep on doing what they have been doing and hoping they get better results. The reality is... they usually keep on getting the same results over and over. (and most of the time they don't like the results they keep getting)
 
If you want different results... you have to make changes in your activity. And if you are not tracking your activity and results... it is harder to make positive changes.
 
What about you? Are you keeping complete details of your Mentors Club business building activities? If not, why not?
 
At the minimum... you should have a journal of everyone you share Mentors Club with right down to the date and time. You should have a brief notes of what was said at that time. And what action the prospect took. If they joined... what did they like about Mentors Club. If they did not join then.. what they did not like about Mentors Club or what excuse they gave.
 
When a new Partner joins your Team, you should write down the date you contacted them to welcome them as a Strategic Partner, how you contacted them and whether or not the two of you started mapping out an action plan of working together. If you did start planning... write down as much details as possible. If you did not.. write down the date/time of the appointment you set with your new partner to go over this. Make notes from that conversation as you are talking with your Partner.
 
You will be amazed at how tracking action steps like this will not only improve your productivity... but also reduce the amount of stress you have about your business. The more things you write down.... the less things you will have bouncing in your head at night when you are trying to sleep.
 
When talking with your Team members... it is smart on your part to write down any personal info they share with you like how many kids do they have, ages, names etc. What type of hobbies they participate in. Favorite foods, movies, music etc. The more details you know about your Partner... the greater chances you have of building and maintaining a long term relationship.
 
So.... if you want to do business right... write things down :   )
