What Makes A Good Network Marketing Team?
Success in network marketing comes down to duplication. Unless your business is taking on a life of its own it simply will never grow past your direct referrals. Do you ever wonder why when someone joins your business they never seem to duplicate your actions? Even though you are showing them step by step what to do?  A good network marketing team starts with the leader. It is at this point where many would be business builders get it wrong. If the leadership is weak, the downline will be just as weak.
At The Top Of Your Network Marketing Team Is You!
The internet has people fooled into believing that you simply have to use the right marketing system and your network marketing team will grow on it’s own. The truth is the only way your network marketing team will grow is if you take 100% control of your business. I hear people all the time say “I don’t know anyone who is interested in my business” These same people also spend their first 30 days doing hardly anything at all.Â
Then they say something like:
Nobody is interested in this business it must not work! Are you kidding me? This is the reason why so many people fail to build a solid network marketing team.
How to Increase Your Chance At Building A Successful Network Marketing Team.
From the very beginning you should be thinking to yourself how can I get this business going without spending any money to do it. Your first resource to tap into is the one all around you. If you really want to be successful in a network marketing business sell something that every person you come across actually needs in their life.
You will find you have a ton more prospects if you do that. You can make any network marketing team work, if you first find people who are passionate about the product. A team of 5 people can be very powerful. Always remember you can only expect someone you bring into your business to be as a good as you. If you want really good people in your business, then you will have to step it up and become the leader of your organization (downline!)

Hi shower heads,
a good team starts with the person starting the team. The team captain is always one of the most influential people on the team.
Strong leader = strong team
Network marketing is a good business if you and your team stay focused, committed and passionate about the product you wanted to sell. And its is really important to be able to determine what your prospective market need before selling anything. Larry really stressed out the important factor in network marketing and that is “sell something that every person you come across actually needs in their life.”
Hi Richard,
So many people get involved with network marketing without really being passionate about the product they are selling. I believe this contributes a lot to such high failure rates.
Salesman know to focus on emotional triggers and it is these triggers that many people decide to start a home based business.
This is what I’ve learned about this business Larry. It all starts with you and although you can have the best product, the best team and the best leadership in the world, if you don’t believe in yourself that you can do this none of that matters. Everything you stated in this post are the key ingredients needed IF you have faith in yourself.
Thanks for sharing my friend and I wish you the very best with your continued success.

Hi Adrienne, it’s good to hear from you. You hit the nail on the head. You absolutely need faith in yourself.
Nothing is possible without it 🙂
Thanks for sharing!
I would say that besides strategy, team motivation is also an important factor. What do you think?
I think without proper motivation nothing is possible 🙂
I always jump form one networking business to another. Looking for the best.But just recently I realized, all the networking business I joined into is already good enough. The problem was not the system nor the product but myself. I failed because I always lost passion when I don’t get the desired goal I want to achieve. Thanks for sharing your ideas about network marketing Larry it make me see the big picture.
I believe that if you will not start it fro yourself, you will not be a great contributor of the team. Everyone should participate in order to have a strong foundation of good marketing team and to be successful in whatever goal you may have.
Thanks for the feedback!
Hello I wanted to say thanks for this article it was extremely vital to what I needed to know at this stage in my career.
Thanks and best wishes,

welcome!
Larry, nice article! I have found that Network marketing leadership is a bit different from other development or management roles in that we want to attract people who are independent, with the desire to succeed, but willing to listen and learn what we have to teach and adapt that to their personal style.
And, as leaders, we should be giving away everything we know about success in this business, our online and offline methods, our scripts, our articles, etc.! After all, if our downlines don’t develop into strong and successful sales leaders, we might as well go back to working for someone else as we will not have the strong and deep downline that is necessary for long term success in this business!
I couldn’t of said it better myself.
I like the way you think about getting things started without spending anything, there is a good amount people out there who dont allow themselves to get started with anything because they dont have any money. This is an excuse they have to fail before they start, its easy to get going without any money if you apply yourself and most of the people who really make it in the world seem to have mastered the art of getting started on very little.
Hi Danika, I totally agree with you. I always hear people say they don’t have any money. The beauty about direct sales is you can use gorilla marketing and hardly spend a penny to get your business started.
Once we commit to a business, we need to ignore the annoyances and inconveniences that inevitably come with every business venture. This commitment will empower you to never give up! I have wanted to quit my business many times; however, I had made the commitment and that was all I focused upon.
I know many people today laugh at taking commitment this seriously. But look at the attrition rate in direct sales and network marketing; the divorce rate; the amount of small businesses that fail. Part of what causes it is a lack of a promise that they made self. The people who do take their commitments like a vow tend to be the rare few who make up the top 3 percent of company compensation plans.
Hi Rachel, thanks for sharing!
Great post! Yeah leadership really is the key if you want to succeed in your network marketing business. Leadership accompanied with marketing skills are very important ingredients in the success in this industry. Thanks again.

Hi Sonny, thanks for stopping by!
i think that the success of the team is really on the leader… if he or she is showing a good example and able to have a good relationship with his or her members therefore i don’t see any problem why the team won’t be able to succeed any task given to them
WORD!
One thing that a team should have is to have “teamwork”. Cooperation of each member and being responsible enough doing the task will help the team rise and be successful in everything that they do.
This is my 2nd time to read this post because of its effectiveness on team and money. i am coming here to get help through your post as i am also writing on the same topic right now. I agree with your all the points that there are many people out there who starts a business without spending any money and now they earn a huge amounts every year and team must be organized and leader must get qualities to lead them if they wants to succeed in this tough online marketing. thanks again for sharing this beauty
Its about a marketing team but I view it, imagine your theory from a business point of view. A leader has great responsibilities and being charismatic is not enough, there is a team to look after, goals to achieve. You’re already a leader and its good to be reading some of your successful tips.
This is all so true. When I was going through the redundancy process at work 2 years ago I was chatting with a career consultant. He asked me “are there already people doing what you plan to do?” and I said that there were. His reply, “well, don’t do it then, do something difference”.
This was awful advice, so I ignored it. It is not about doing something different, it is doing something that works but doing better than everyone else.
