Teamwork, what teamwork? The boom of individual owned businesses has taken the World by storm.
Many have awakened the sleeping Giant and really began to follow their dreams …that it seems to be all about self.
However, a successful business is not composed of only 1 person. The industry of network marketing and online marketing has an entirely new skill set to the marketplace.
”If you help enough people get what they want, you will get what you want” ~Zig Ziglar
What Zig Ziglar says here cannot be closer to the truth. Your team drives the TEAM, which means everyone counts. In addition to that, the team will move according to the the Team Leader. All others will either fall off or keep up with the overall pace of the team.
This is why its so important to understand how teamwork dynamics affect your organization.
Although you may have started your business alone, the success you have absolutely depends on several other people. These best practices will help you to understand your organization’s needs and increase the overall success of your team.
The Skill of a Leader – Teamwork Best Practices 1
Establish Yourself as a Leader by educating yourself. Leadership may be a skill you do not currently have or maybe you have minimal experience. The great news is that leadership is totally able to be learned and taught to your team.
The next best part of the Leadership skill is once you have mastered it, your team will see and follow that example. Essentially, your team will be a team of Leaders because you have upgraded your skill. The majority of the time your team will duplicate what it is you are doing if they also want success. Encourage duplication to be sure winning is across the board.
What is This About? – Teamwork Best Practices 2
Any large organization has a mission statement, values, and vision. These aspects help the people working there to find out if they want the same thing as the company. Or…if they can represent that company based upon the company’s mission etc.
The 1st thing people really want to know is what your business is about. Communicating this is easy to accomplish. A blog will tells your visitors who you are, where you are headed, and allows you to extend an offer to join the success journey. Where your organization is headed is also known as the purpose and vision for the team.
Implement a System to increase Duplication – Teamwork Best Practices 3
A marketing system or online marketing system will ensure your team does not run out of people to talk to. By encouraging a system such as this, you will see consistency and duplication throughout your team. Most business owners are looking for long-term growth.
The best way to ensure long-term residual growth is to help everyone in the team build their business. As more businesses move online, you will encounter those members of your team that would like to have an online aspect in their business. This adds a entirely new audience for them to get their message to.
There are several other benefits to an online marketing system, such as free leads, multiple income streams, and helps to build self-motivated leaders. At the end of the day, this all results in members remaining on your team while building a strong business in the mean time.
The Babysitter is Dead – Teamwork Best Practices 4
The stats say 20% of your team results in 80% of the growth, revenue, and permanency. So what does this mean for you? Train but Don’t Babysit. Babysitting is a bad habit that really says you don’t trust your team to get it done. There is so much more to this, but I’ll let you read this recent Success article that explains it more.
So in the mean time, train and don’t babysit. The babysitter is dead in business. And its likely if you make a habit of babysitting, so will your team. Thus the business will be on the verge of dead. Business such as network marketing and multi-level marketing encourage empowerment and growth.
“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” ~Chinese Proverb
Applying this in your business will truly help you to make as many people as possible Financially Free!
HardRock Motivation and Recognition – Teamwork Best Practice 5
There is a misconception in network marketing that says its someone else’s job to motivate the team. The truth is, everyone one on team may have a day or more where they may need an occasional reminder of their Greatness.
A little motivation goes a long way for your team. A simple way to stay in contact with everyone is to create a Facebook group or other social media group. Stay active and encourage others to add to the content of the page. This really does go a long way.
Every business is a “business of relationships.” Get creative and think of ways to make sure your team members have cohesiveness and a feeling of belonging.
A Facebook group will also help you recognize the strengths of others on the team. When you do recognize this, be sure to highlight it by giving team members tasks they are good at and like doing. This recognizes and shows appreciation. Recognition is paying it forward in building your business long-term. Your team will understand the value you place in them and stick around.
Network Marketers and Entrepreneurs are some of the most fearless people I know! They go after their dream. A strong team to support each individuals purpose and vision is vital. The teamwork will make each dream work.
