| | Building Your Team Network marketing is about leveraging your time and effort by building a team. How long it takes to build that team is different for everyone. But, the more people you talk to, the faster your business will grow. There are thousands of people starting home-based businesses every day. Your job is to find the people who are the right fit for your company. This means making calls, following up and working with the people who say "YES" and join your team. Most industry leaders agree that it takes 3-5 "leaders" -- people who have a burning desire to achieve their goals, for you to build a large organization. Also critical to your growth are the part-time people who contribute in a slow and steady way. Statistics show that the average person builds a home-based business to supplement, not replace their income. When you build a team all over the country - or all over the world - meeting in a telephone conference room for training, motivation or to make prospecting calls and have your team listen in can be a great business building tool. It's a great way for people to connect on a regular basis and to meet other people on your team. It can serve as a sort of virtual replacement of local hotel meetings. A company we use regularly offers a free conference call service with many useful features. Check them out at: www.teleconnection.com The importance of persistence Lead by example and stay upbeat. You will be talking to a lot of people about your business. You will hear NO a lot more often than you hear YES! Don't let that discourage you. Always remember: you have something of great value to offer. Whether someone is ready to see it or act on it is up to them. It's not personal! Our scripts will help you quickly weed out people not interested in changing their lives right now. Your job is to be persistent until you find people ready to make things happen.
