HATE THE BOSS

"I hate the boss."
"My boss is stupid."
"I can't stand working for my boss."
"If I were the boss things would be different."

The number of times I have heard the above comments in one form or another is unbelievable. Usually I hear them about every boss the person ever had. Those comments almost always come from someone that has never been the boss and is unlikely to ever become one.

Feeling that way about an occasional boss is reasonable. Feeling that way about all of them is not reasonable.

The person doing the constant complaining is not capable of putting themselves in the boss's shoes. They have no idea of what the boss has to contend with and the wide variety of problems that the boss is always facing and has to solve. One of those problems is the constant complainer.

It seems to me and ethical person that feels totally negative should quit and find another job.

A constant complainer about the boss is now in a unique situation. In our business, guess who is the boss. Xtreme health is the boss in a very limited sense in that one has to follow their rules. They do have some growing pain problems but every one of them is insignificant. I personally hope they always have grow in pain problems because that shows they are still growing and are outdoing themselves.

One couple from some other team quit because they did not get some brochures they ordered in what they considered proper time. They said they were embarrassed because they could not hand them out to their prospects that had been promised brochures. Obviously that was a cop out excuse and they would have found some other reason to quit anyway that would have enabled them to blame the company. They could easily have explained to the prospects that the company was growing so fast that they could not keep up with everything immediately but they were solving the problem.

So who do the complainers complained about now? They do not work for anyone in the team. They do not work for the sponsor. No one in the team including their sponsor or anyone in the upline can tell them what to do. Do they understand what, "Independent Distributor" means?

It means they are the boss, that is the one that usually complains is now the boss. Regardless of what they complain about please no it is their responsibility and usually it is also their fault.

Instead of complaining they should be out there peddling the product. In our case the product is the formula and the enrolment process. The shoe is now on the other foot so if one has complaints look in the mirror and instead of complaining figure out how to solve the problem.

The solution is colossally simple:
"SSAP"
SALES SOLVES ALL PROBLEMS!"

*make more presentations. A presentation is selling samples and getting a name and phone number.
*follow up in a timely manner. A week or two is too late. After 48 hours most people won't have a clue who you are. If you have to wait longer than that follow up anyway but be prepared to spend more time identifying your product.
*"when they have purchased a bottle of formula from you, preferably two, or after they have decided to purchase one but before they actually have done it asked them, "would you prefer I make the profits on all your future purchases or would you prefer to make it yourself?"

Most complainers will give themselves and attitude adjustment once they determine this type of approach is successful. Then asks them what they think of the boss now.
