How to Build a Local Team
One of the most important skill sets to learn in the network marketing profession is how to build a local team. The internet and social media have completely changed people’s view on this, however, and some people look at local team building or face to face recruiting as “old school.”
I totally agree that there are some methods that just plain don’t work anymore. The world is changing, but people remain the same at their core so the basic principles still apply.
The problem is not that these methods are “old school” and don’t work, because they do work, the problem is we’ve heard the same teaching over and over again and have already hammered our warm markets so how do we cast a wider net?
How Anyone Can Build a Local Team Anywhere
When you create a local team and community you’ve got many benefits.
1. You can teach the same principles you used to anyone in the world for easier recruiting/duplication
2. You have higher retention
3. You attract major leadership to your area, giving you massive credibility
Leaders don’t come to help you build when you don’t have a team. They come help you when you already have things rocking and rolling and it’s deserved. So how do you build that team with a totally burnt warm market and how can you teach your team to use these basic principles without creating major resistance?
Social Media.
Social media as a lot of you know is one of my favorite methods for building. I’ve sponsored over 100 people through FB and have taught many others to do the same. However, over the last year I was asking myself “How can I take this concept and apply it to a more belly to belly approach” so people still get the same duplication and retention.
I started testing out a simple strategy using social media to target local prospects, and it worked so well I decided to share it with the team. After the team used it the results were amazing. I’ve averaged right around 8-10 appointments to show the business per month locally, and gotten the top earners in the company to come to our area twice!
Not only did this strategy work like crazy for me and the team, but it enabled us to create more leaders who are now stepping up doing their own meetings and appointments.
Imagine having hundreds of people all over the world doing their own meetings on YOUR team! All it takes is leading by example…
