Working With Your MLM Team Members

It can be a lot of work trying to recruit people into your business. With so much competition these days, and so many un-trusting people, most people put a major emphasis on this aspect of their business. While this is very important, just as important is the fact that once they join your team, then you need them to be able to produce.

So, how do you work with your team members to get them to produce? After all, growing your business effectively depends on them being able to grow their business.

Before they join

It should start before your team member even becomes your team member.

Sound confusing?

You should be particular about who you actually wish to recruit and sponsor. It’s hard when you are first establishing your business to turn away new recruits, but your long term success will be better off for it. For example, to recruit someone who is going to try it for 30 days and then quit without even seriously trying is going to be a waste of your efforts.

Also, as I talk about in my article Training Your Mind For Leadership, start developing that leadership mindset before you even sponsor people on your team. This includes the right thinking, and being able to educate yourself on some of the concepts that successful marketers are using to grow their businesses.

Lastly, one of the reasons that it’s hard to grow a down line may be because you’re not giving your team a duplicable system. There may be several reasons for this, and some of those may not be your fault. But the key to your down line being able to be as successful as you are, is to give them, or at least direct them to the same tools, concepts, or systems that you are using. The best way to implement this is to start figuring out, and creating your system prior to enrolling anyone else.

After they join

Now that you have the right mindset, the right people on your team, and a recipe for success, you can focus on developing leaders on your team. You can develop everything on your own if you want, but this doesn’t have to be hand holding. You can refer them to any training or educational material that they need to absorb. Your part comes in with the follow up.

The just checking in every so often routine can help your relationships grow by maintaining contact. Some people are more hands off than others, but that doesn’t mean that all means of communication should end, or not be present.

More so, reach out every so often, and find out how they are doing, what their challenges are, what their goals are - and if they are reaching them. This is not to act like you’re the boss, but to encourage them to challenge themselves to keep growing their business.

As somewhat of a side note, creating a Facebook group for your team to encourage the exchange of ideas is a good idea as well. You don’t have to be an expert in everything or have to spend all of your time hand holding, if you truly make it a team effort.

It benefits everyone who is involved, if you take a hands on approach to helping your team grow. The process of growing your business doesn’t stop right after you recruit people.
