Getting your PSAs up to speed without overwhelming them is a little tricky because individuals differ; some 'collapse' under pressure, some are fast learners while others are slow, some manage well under pressure and yet some are amenable to any circumstance. You therefore need to carry out a delicate balancing act, so that every individual works at his/her own pace and below are my suggestions:
1. Let them know the benefits of carrying out certain actions and the consequences of not. For example encourage them to learn and train themselves by going through the training material but add that they need to go through at their own pace and understanding, but that failure to have a fair grasp of this business at this stage may have an adverse effect in building their business in the future..
2. Let them know certain actions they need to carryout and certain activities they need to be engaged in. Highlight the benefits they stand to derive now and in the future, including the likely consequences that will result from failure to act on them like the E365 contest, Fast Track etc.
Mention the fact that these actions have deadlines and time limits which they may not be able to avail of once they lapse.
3. Avoid bombarding them with numerous messages with very lengthy contents, be as precise as possible and ensure there is good value in such messages. Highlight those areas they need to concentrate on, to make EA status in their first month and let them know straight away, the benefits of EA.
4. Let them make the decisions themselves after you have highlighted the benefits of taking action and the consequences of not, unless your assistance is require or where you want to intervene in very compelling circumstance.
As you can see from the above, you have initiated learning and training, encouraged action, identified benefits and highlighted disadvantages of inaction, so the ball is now in the court of your PSAs to reciprocate by seizing the opportunity presented.
