Teamwork, it’s the cooperative effort amongst a variety of skills where everyone puts in their part so that everyone benefits.
I was recently watching this kid movie with my son called G-Force.
It’s a cute story about these guinea pigs who are turned into highly skilled agents working for the government.
Throughout the movie these G-Force agents used each of their special skills in order to accomplish the goal at end.
Because each of the G-Force agents used what they are capable of doing best, they succeeded as a team.
With your networking business do you have your team in place and is there teamwork amongst them?
In this post we will go over assembling your team and having the pieces in place that will help you grow your business.
Assembling Your Team
Building your team requires a unique skill. That skill is determining what areas you are suffering in your business then locating the people that fit that skill.
Building your team doesn’t necessarily mean finding people who only want work in your network marketing opportunity, although that does work.
You can build your team for those not interested in your business or those that are.
For those that are not interested in your business you will have to compensate them in return for the service they are going to be rendering for you.
No one person will do anything for nothing.
After you have your areas that your business is suffering in, it’s time to seek out people to join your team.
Let’s say for example that you want to advertise your network marketing opportunity on the web, but you don’t have a website.
In this case you would look for a web developer. It would be best to work with a web developer who is proficient with SEO.
Without SEO, your website will be awfully lonely on the web waiting for visitors to come on by.
Now, how you would pursue this person would depend on their goals and aspirations for their life.
If it’s to own their own business, then they are a good candidate to join your network marketing team.
If it’s to earn some extra cash in addition to their JOB, then they may be a good candidate to join your network marketing team.
If it’s to just do web development and no other reason, then they are not likely a good candidate for your team.
Nonetheless, during your interview questions you’ll need to determine what their goals are to see what option may best fit them.
Now, we are assuming at this point that you absolutely want this person from a web developer standpoint to be a part of your team.
With that, you won’t have to bother with the questions of their history as a web developer because this would’ve already taken place prior to the next meeting to see how they will fit into your team.
Here are some key things to look for and see where the best fit is for them.
1. Do they have the right determination to be on your network marketing team?
2. Do they demonstrate interest in becoming financially independent?
3. Do they state their reason “why”?
4. Do they have what it takes to be on your team?
The answers to these type of questions will help you see where they will be a best fit.
Once you’ve determined where is the best place for them, you have one of your members of your team in place.
What this will do for you and your team is help build your business through leverage.
By using leverage this will free up more of your time for your business and team to concentrate on the areas the business needs to be concerned with.
As you are building your team members, be sure that you are asking the key questions. This will help you get a better feel where your team member should reside.
After your team is built, if at anytime you feel no one person is contributing to the team, you will have to make the tough decision in whether or not they should continue to be on the team. Because clearly they are not demonstrating good teamwork.
No one likes to get rid of anyone, however, if they aren’t pulling their weight then the best thing to do is cut your losses and move on to finding someone else that would be a better fit.
How have you built your team? What key questions did you ask your prospects to determine where is the best fit for them?
