Your ability to assemble and develop a top notch team will determine whether you become, or maybe already are, successful with your network marketing business. Teambuilding is not just about assembling the right mix of talent. It’s also about developing your team, providing leadership and making cuts when necessary.
Obviously you can save yourself a lot of headaches by making sure you recruit quality people for your team. Keep in mind here that quality means suited to certain and tasks and able to work together. So called dream teams made up of all superstars rarely perform to expectations. Professional sports are full of examples of this. One of the best ways to ensure that you are recruiting quality people is to make sure that your offer will appeal to the sort of people you are looking for. I like to offer MLM Training as part of my advertising message. Offering MLM Training courses does several things for me. Firstly I know the people that respond are serious about learning how to succeed. Secondly, I can ensure that I will not attract people looking for the magic bullet or some get rich quick scheme. And lastly, my prospects will be exposed to a good MLM Training program which is the best way for them to turn into successful network marketers.
Once you begin assembling your team, you need to shift some of your focus to developing them. MLM Training courses are not just for newbies. The top income earners in most network marketing companies got there because they dedicated themselves to continuous personal improvement. I spend time each and every week looking for MLM Training that covers areas I am not as familiar with. I am always on the lookout for ideas and techniques that might be a good addition to my skill set. Once you have established yourself in a leadership position you must ensure that your team has access to quality MLM Training. You can offer the MLM Training program yourself or partner with someone who can provide what you need. It’s important that the MLM Training you offer your team have some material for beginners but also provide the more advanced members with courses tailored to their level.
Leadership is mainly about two things. There are providing the vision and goals for the group and being able to formulate and communicate a plan to get there. For a team to be successful, a strong leader is required. Almost as important as having a strong leader is having the other members of the team recognize and be satisfied with their roles. Network marketing success is largely a function of leadership, but that’s not to say that you must be at the top to succeed. You should aim to lead your team within the context of being part of a larger team.
Making cuts when necessary can be difficult in the context of network marketing as everyone is running their own business and making their own decisions. The world is full of complainers and laziness. You generally don’t need to worry about getting rid of these people as they will usually quit on their own. If they stick around, you simply need to make sure that you don’t indulge their bad attitude. Keep trying to include them in your MLM Training sessions though as eventually the light might come on and they could become a productive member of your team.
Building a solid team with diverse skills is the best way to build a solid long term income.
