3 Network Marketing Team Building Strategies

Building A Successful Downline In Network Marketing

One of the key elements of the network marketing success is team building! One of the many wonderful things about the network marketing business is that while every member is in business for themselves, they are not in business by themselves. By taking a leadership role and providing opportunities for team building you will find out who YOUR key members are. Truly knowing every key member of your downline is vital and will dramatically increase your income.

Team building activities not only promote enjoyment and relationship-building, but they are a fantastic opportunity to empower your team. Have some fun together, get to know one another, learn about business, and learn about life, which will in due course solidify your relationships.

Consultant Team Building Skills

As time goes by in your network marketing career, you will notice that it is usually not your personal consultants who become the biggest leaders and business builders in your downline. Team building skills include getting to know your team on a deeper level. It is important to get to know the newest members of your team (any new downline member even if you did not recruit them) and invite them to your team building activities. Spend some time with them, recognize them, and introduce them to all other attendees. What you will also notice is that key team members may not always look or seem like they are key members in the first days or weeks of their business, but they may get their super spurt in productivity at a later time.

3 Team Building Strategies & Tools

Simple games, seminars or activities are sometimes excellent education tools. Here are three powerful team building strategies  that will promote your team growth;

• Do something service-based with your team. There are dozens of local volunteer opportunities that exist. Choose one, and invite a handful of team members to do it with you. To respect everyone’s time, it is best to pick something that can be done in 2-3 hours. After the event, have a recap together and talk about how the activity applied to your business and your own goals.
• There are a few business board games that will offer you an entertaining time. Monopoly, of course, is a fun game that everyone has heard of. Some may wonder how that is a business game, but play it again from a business perspective and you may find it quite interesting. Cash Flow by Robert Kiyosaki is a classic entrepreneur business board game. If you do not already have MLM: The Game, that’s another great choice. Playing business board games will allow all players to build powerful relationships with each other, and everyone will learn or teach many lessons along the way.
• Go to a motivational or business seminar together as a large group. One that is held nationwide and that we can recommend (and it’s FREE) is a “Millionaire Mind Evening” offered by the Peak Potentials team. Fabulous, fun, mentally challenging, no-nonsense business advice from Millionaires. There are many other opportunities for personal and financial growth, look one up in your area!

The point of whatever you choose to do is really to spend time with your team! Get to know them; get involved in the lives of your key members. These friendships & resulting paychecks will last you a lifetime!
