Teamwork is vital to the success of virtually any business – a restaurant, retail store, huge corporation or a network marketing business. No one stands alone and expects to accomplish all that needs to be done. In retail and corporations, each person serves a specific purpose, and if one person isn’t holding up their end, the remaining people must pick up the slack. In most situations, the “slacker” wouldn’t last very long with their company. They would be fired.
In network marketing, teamwork is a bit different. Unless a team member violates company rules, they generally cannot be “fired.” There are a few elements required for a team to run smoothly.
• A common purpose. With network marketing, each individual in a team is an independent business owner, but each joined the network to achieve success. Everyone on a team should have that purpose in common.
• Interdependence. Each member of a network marketing team depends on at least one other person to reach their goals. They depend on their sponsor to train them and support them along their path. Team leaders depend on each of their members to work their business, thus helping both the member and leader to grow their businesses.
• Roles and contributions. Each person can play more than one role in network marketing. If they are recruiting a team, they are a team leader. However, that leader also has their own sponsor, and they are a member of that person’s team, helping their own sponsor by making sales. How much each individual contributes to the team can greatly effect the success of many.
• Accountability, both individual and mutual. Each individual within a team is responsible to themselves to grow their personal business. At the same time, they are also accountable to the team as a whole. It is true that, in network marketing, there are always going to be those who do not take this responsibility seriously, either to themselves or their team. These people never succeed.
• Empowerment. Independent business owners have the power to create an empire, make a decent living or supplement their income. They are empowered to make their choices and work their businesses accordingly. There is both freedom and challenges that come with empowerment.
Those individuals in network marketing who do not consider themselves part of a team are rarely successful. Working together to achieve that common purpose drives each individual to work harder to help themselves and the team.
• Team meetings, Webinars and conference calls can help members of a team to see how important they are to the team as a whole.
• Competition between different teams can inspire team members to work harder to earn the prize and to help the team at the same time.
• For those who have team members residing in the same area, having local team events can help to strengthen a team.
No matter how we do it, those leading a team must encourage their teams to work for the benefit of the company as a whole, for the team and for themselves. They are all intertwined, and when everyone on a team works for the same common purpose, they are helping to create and maintain both a strong team and a successful business.
