Teamwork Makes the “Dream” Work in Network Marketing

A couple of months ago, I joined a new network marketing team.  This awesome team made me realize the tremendous power that teamwork can contribute toward the success of members of the team.  I have been blown away in personally experiencing the love and support that a team can provide….and I feel pumped up and ready to help all members of the team succeed.

This team experience has made me realize that if all network marketing teams work together cooperatively, rather than individual people working in virtual isolation to achieve their goals, the 97% failure rate of network marketers can possibly be overturned.    In my opinion, teamwork and unselfishness are the backbone of a great team …. without them the team cannot realistically compete.

Even if a group of superstars are working on the same team, but if they do not work well as one unit, chances are they are not going to be as successful as they could be if they pooled their resources and worked together. The team working as one cohesive unit would be the key in their success.

Teamwork is something that must be a high priority and given constant attention. Therefore, every team member needs to understand how important it is for them to work together cooperatively if they want to be successful. Each team member must be dedicated to the whole team and be willing to act unselfishly. When challenges arise (as they always do), the team needs to have the resources, accountability and commitment to deal with them in a constructive and positive manner.

My Advice to You

Before joining a network marketing team, consider whether:

1.      It has a good leader that fully support and encourage teamwork;

2.      The team members openly encourage and support one another;

3.      Team members have  open communication with one another;

4.      The leader use statements such as “we” when referring to the team, or is it more    of an “every man for himself” mentality;

5.      The individual contributions of each team member is recognized (regardless of whether a new team member or not);

6.      The team is committed to improving performance; and

7.      Each member considers themselves as a “team player.”

You might ask — how can I find this out about a team i know nothing about?  Good question …… I realize that it is difficult for an “outsider looking in” to make these determinations … so I advise you to :  Ask the leader about his or her philosophy on teams.  Do research – often the results of good and productive teams work are known within the industry.  Get feedback from others.

Taking these steps can greatly improve the likelihood of your finding a successful and supportive team that will help propel you to SUCCESS!
