How to build a home business team

Residual income is what attracts most people to building a Network Marketing team. And the most common question I get, is how do you sponsor 8-12 people every month?

The answer is simple. Make friends without an agenda. Make friends to make friends, not to get into your business. Sure, my friends know what I do, in case they are interested or want to refer people to me.

But my business is not what my friendships are based upon. It’s the same for meeting people online or offline. Show a genuine interest. Find out their likes and dislikes, their concerns and challenges. Get to know people without an agenda.

If someone shows an interest in my business then yes, I will proceed. Now, I have the permission to share a little more. I answer their questions and invite them to take a deeper look.

Think about this. If you had a friend that was making $8,000 per month, wouldn’t you want to know about it?

As a Corporate America Employee, how do you find time to build a successful MLM Business

Last night I was interviewed on our company’s team call. As a FT Corporate America employee who is working to change that, many people ask how do you do it? How do you find the time to work FT, be a mom to three young children, a wife and run a successful and growing Network Marketing business?

My answer – Network Marketing is my passion. Lunch hours, breaks, evening hours and weekends are utilized to build my Network Marketing business. I love what I do and keeping focused on the big picture is important. Firing Corporate America gets closer every day. It’s a great feeling to take charge of your life and be in control of your final destination.

It’s important to focus on the success and not the challenges. Everyone in the network marketing industry has time constraints, challenges and even frustrations. But don’t spend your time focusing on the challenges. Take control of the activities you can. How many prospects will you call this week? How many follow ups will you make? How many business cards will you hand out? These activities are controlled by you and taking action each day will get you results.

Network Marketing is a journey. So, enjoy it. Each day, make the commitment to move your business forward. Take action towards your goals. Write them down, believe them, share them and reach them.

Do you Twitter?

Twitter is an online craze that is worth checking out. Meet people with the same interests, personal and business. Share your expertise and learn from others. Treat it like it’s your daily planner.

Here are a few tips to begin “tweeting.”

1. Sign up and follow as many people as you can find who share your common interests and goals.

2. Reply to "tweets" of others by clicking the reply arrow in their tweet box. Get a short conversation going about the topics that interest them. You'll see their Twitter ID with the @ sign in front of it. They will see your replies without already following you.

3. Tweet helpful information. Maybe you just posted a new blog or wrote a new Squidoo lens. Tweet about it. And feel free to “tweet” about personal stuff. Maybe you are at Cancun on the beach checking your email. “Tweet about it.”

4. Network with people that you can help. Provide value and helpful information. Give first and you will receive.

Twitter is fun, easy and it will boost your business.

What are your Single Daily Actions (SDA's)

Do you have a set schedule? Better yet, do you follow it?


Do you have a daily goal of how many prospects you are going to call each day? How many appointments will you make each day? How many people are you going to recruit each week. How many times will you present your opportunity?


Working your Network Marketing Business every day will lead to success.


You are in charge of your SDA’s. Plan your work and then work your plan. Only you can commit to it. Make a specific schedule so you know where your hours are going.


Take action and know that consistently working those SDA’s over and over will have tremendous results.


One of your SDA’s should be how many prospects will I contact today. It might be follow up phone calls, new prospect calls. How many catalogs am I sending out today? It can be various things. Just take action. And have fun!


Your SDA’s all relate to your income goals. Make sure they are aligned. Your goals and actions need to be in balance.

Pay Close Attention to Successful People

Duplicate those that are successful and your business will continue to improve. Being honest and true is the foundation for a successful business. A pure heart is one of the greatest secrets of success. Follow the example of successful people. Choose to be successful. The only people that aren’t successful in Network Marketing are those that quit, or aren’t willing to work hard for their success. Ask questions. Seek out your upline as well as the upline from other companies. Listen to them. What were their methods for success? What about their shortcuts?


Much of success is determined by how you think. So, keep thinking you are a success. Dream big and know those dreams will come true with hard work and persistence. Have fun. Learn from your mistakes. Give to others and remember that you deserve success.

Keep it Simple

Keep your Network Marketing message simple. If you add a bunch of stuff to it, it will slow down your growth. Teaching a basic three-step plan is key.


1. Get a few distributors
2. Get a few customers
3. Help your distributors do the same


That covers it right?


If someone asks you a difficult question, direct the conversation back to the simple message.


If you have a tough time explaining it, your team won’t grow as rapidly. A rule of thumb is, if an 8 year can’t understand it, then others probably can’t either.


So, keep your message simple and don't overexplain.


BELIEVE Success!
