Measure your success

Keeping a record of your key metrics is an important part of having a healthy business. We have a selection of ready-made gauge forms on MyHerbalife.com, which allow you to keep track of your business performance and cash flow on a daily basis and make any necessary changes to achieve your monthly goals. By tracking your business and analysing what is, or isn’t working, you can use this information to help you progress more quickly up the Sales & Marketing plan (see page 46 for more details ). If you aren’t tracking your business it can be more difficult to know where you could be making improvements. Get your whole organisation tracking their business, too. Not only will it help them and their business performance, it will give you an idea of how your downline is performing and you can recognise their successes and make suggestions for improvements.
