Designing your Dream MLM Team
Multilevel marketing, or MLM, relies very heavily on the team of
people you are working with. MLM by its very nature is dependent on
quality relationships between a group, and as a manager of others it
falls to you to build and maintain a powerful and effective group of
retailers in order to maximize everyone’s profits.
Good Team Players
A good team player is many things including responsible, open to
suggestion and flexible. Of course you don’t want a team consisting
of those easily led, so a team player must also be able to pull his
own weight and help motivate those around him.
When looking to recruit teammates, look first as personality. Is the
person offensive to you or would he be offensive to others? Do you
enjoy being around the individual? Working with a group has just as
much to do with overall personality as it does with work ethic and
abilities.
If you find yourself comfortable around a potential team member, take
a look at his work background and ethics. MLM is the kind of business
that works best for self-starters and those with dedication and
initiative. Traditionally good employees might not make the best MLM
team members as they might not have the go-to to get the job done
without prodding. You don’t want to be constantly offering
suggestions and pulling someone along who prefers to be given a
menial task rather than finding his own way.
Your MLM team should consist of mature, dedicated individuals who
aren’t afraid to work a little harder than everyone else in exchange
for the kind of financial rewards that work will bring.
Motivating Your Team
Once the team is assembled, it will be your task as the manager or
leader to keep everyone focused and moving forward. MLM relies
heavily on bringing in new accounts and representatives, just as any
sales format does, so you must keep your team fired up and working
hard.
To motivate your team, you should focus on the positive goal rather
than potential failure. Everyone responds better to reward than
punishment. Avoid statements such as, “If we don’t make our quote
this month, we’ll lose money.” Instead bring excitement to the group
but relay the same message, “We’re getting close to our goal. As soon
as we reach it, we’ll be looking at a huge profit!” Don’t lie, but
always focus on the positive.
A strong leader always leads by example. MLM businesses often develop
into passive revenue streams, but a good leader doesn’t allow his own
efforts to diminish simply because his income has increased. While
goals are terrific and should be set together as a team, they do not
represent an ending. New goals should constantly be set, and avoid
making a goal “maintaining.” It is far harder to get excited about
maintaining a level than it is to fire up the team to make it to the
next level.
The nature of a MLM business means that many are working to sell
similar or the same products. As the leader, you should make every
effort to unite your team and share strategies and incentives rather
than allowing the team to compete with each other. If possible,
gather together for casual activities to develop personal
relationships. Discuss things other than work so that the team feels
united.
You are the leader and you set the standard for your team. Be excited
about the business. Share your ideas and enthusiasm with others and
always look forward. Listen to what the others have to say and be
fair when making decisions, but always remain the motivating force
and guiding light. They look to you and your efforts will not be in
vain.
