The Perfect 21
Choosing who to mentor is the easy part — just follow our simple, repeatable checklist that makes the right people obvious.
Seven filters for choosing who you build with — each scored 0–3. A perfect 21 is threes across the board: the perfect fit for your team, and a no-brainer to enroll.
An honest conversation
What must be true → the tell → 0–3There are more people who’d benefit from better health and your mentoring than you could ever build with — but you’ll only be mentoring four to seven of them. So those few need to be the right fit: the people best suited to build a team beneath you. These seven filters are here to help you find exactly those people — because your income, directly and indirectly, depends on choosing your team members wisely. That’s what this page is for, and it’s built for your benefit.
Difference maker — they step up when it counts
Must be true They have a genuine desire — even a calling — to make a difference, and a track record of stepping up to do it. The heart is there, and so is the proof that they act on it.
The tell A track record of making a difference can look like any of these:
- Leadership or work experience — they’ve stepped up and guided people before.
- They’re the one people come to — more than others — when they need help with something.
- They say it themselves — that making a difference is important to them.
Socialization — at ease with people
Must be true They’re willing and able to talk to people — to reach out, support, and connect. They like people, they like being around people, and they have a social flair to them.
The tell They start conversations easily, they’re comfortable reaching out first, and people energize them — they want to be among a community that’s up to something, drawn to a room of positive, growth-oriented peers.
Readiness to grow — leaning forward
Must be true They’re in a season of wanting more — hungry to expand their craft, reach, or income, and to grow mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Not plateaued and content; reaching for the next thing.
The tell They’re excited to talk about personal growth — books they’ve read, courses they’ve taken, breakthroughs they’ve had. And they want to pay it forward.
Coachable — humble, welcomes feedback
Must be true They welcome coaching and support with humility. They want people’s feedback, rather than meeting it with defensiveness.
The tell They have a track record of growth and improvement, and the idea of being mentored is attractive to them.
The products — a genuine user, nothing to fake
Must be true They genuinely value wellness and understand the importance of gut health — or they see a natural fit with any Plexus product line.
The tell They openly talk about the importance of any aspect of wellness, and don’t balk at the idea of taking supplements.
The money filter — additive, never a lifeline
Must be true They want more money, but don’t need more money. They understand the comp plan, and the small monthly investment to make a big return is a no-brainer to them.
The tell They’re financially stable, and they showed excitement when discussing the compensation charts.
The network-marketing free agent whose company dissolved: they pass this filter regardless of current income level or needs.
Want them in your circle — a gut yes
Must be true Picturing yourself building alongside them is a genuine yes — someone you admire and would want beside you whether in a business or not. This is someone you want to surround yourself with.
The tell You feel a natural connection with the person and look forward to spending time with them.
The filters tell you who; this shows you where. Your perfect fits are already out there — some in your own circle, others just a step beyond it. Here are the places they naturally gather, so you always know where to look.
A familiar way to fill it
You already know how to run a program launch — so run this the same way. Promote a program with a 7-person limit; once 4 to 7 people sign up, you’re done.
