I have perfected that technique. You need to stand the plug on end (lump of wood with a shallow hole drilled into it is handy), and hold the tip of your iron in the plug (some have a handy hole drilled at 90*). Then feed in the solder wire, and it will melt and fill up the 'cup' of the plug. Then withdraw the solder wire, and dip your battery/motor wire into the cup of molten solder. Once you are happy with its position, withdraw the iron and allow the solder to soldify, and then you're done- just make sure to pre-tin the power/battery wire, and slide on the heatshrink tube before you start.
