IF you are frustrated with the amount of growth in your team right now, pay close attention to these tips and be well on your way to CRUSHING it!
10 Network Marketing Tips for Team Building
1. Never assume the people you recruit are going to take building your network marketing business as serious as you do. This is a very common mistake. Ask them why they joined and what they hoped to gain and act accordingly. You should be happy as heck with anyone who wants to just stay on as a customer instead of trying to push them into something they don’t want to do which will just make them quick. There will always be more people using the product and not building than those building.
2. Never give unsolicited advice. Similar to number one, you need to ask your teammate if they are coach-able based on how they answer what I covered in number one. Don’t just start bossing that new rep around before knowing if they would like to hear your advice.
3. Instead of being pushy, be pull-y. This is a suggestion in sales too. Pull-y means you ask them the right questions to pull them vs try to cram what you want to talk about down their throat. Why did you join? What did you hope to gain? Are those things serious to you? Do you truly want those things? How will you attain freedom if you don’t build this? All of those questions illicit pull type responses from your people.
4. Lather on the recognition. One of the topics that is going to be covered at our next Top Earner Academy (August 13-16th in Tampa) is all about culture and recognition. Napoleon said “I have 
made the most wonderful discovery, I have discovered men will risk their lives, even die, for ribbons and men will also die to avoid having their ribbons taken away.” Yes, Napoleon just gave you powerful Network Marketing tips and would have been a Crowd Presidential Diamond =) Make sure you are recognizing those that are putting in the effort you want them to.
5. Stop trying to motivate them and inspire them instead. One of the most common questions I get is “How do I motivate my team?” Before you learn that Braveheart speech, realize that I think there is a better way and that is to inspire your team with YOUR action. The best thing you can do for YOUR team is rank advance and show them that the system works.
6. Be a Team Builder BEFORE you have a team. Maybe you are reading this and thinking “I don’t have a team yet”. Well, you need to start acting as if you do have a team. See yourself leading calls, making shout outs to your team and start acting as if you are leading a large team. The simple act of tricking your mind into thinking you have a large team will attract new thoughts into your head that are conducive to having a team.
7. Teach to Teach and You can go to the Beach. This might be the biggest of all the Network Marketing tips I can offer you. Yes this is a people business but it is still a BUSINESS. If YOU are the only one that can answer questions, lead webinars, etc, you aren’t teaching your team how to operate in your abscence. Teaching to teach means you answer questions in a way that the person asking the question can then tell any reps they recruit where to also get those answers. HINT: If each time a teammate asks you a question has you on the phone for 45 minutes vs pointing them to an existing training, you gots some work to do!
8. People cannot take your place if you are unwilling to move your feet. Strive not for the constant lime-light and instead strive to raise others up. If you are the one always running all calls and webinars vs bringing people out to share their story and letting them grow, many would-be leaders will NOT make the journey with you.
9. Invest in your education so you can bring more value to your team. We have clients that have invested over $50,000 with my wife and I to train them and train their teams. When you invest in yourself, you are able to become more valuable to your existing or future team. Always be learning so you can always be sharing.
10. Teammates need to qualify for your team, you aren’t their Mommy or Daddy. Never let a teammate abuse you verbally or abuse your time. IF someone is constantly asking you for advice but never taking it, give them homework and they don’t get any more coaching unless that homework is finished. You need to protect your time so you can use it with the RIGHT teammates that WILL use your advice and coaching.

Awesome Tips Ray Higdon! I have to say my best Tip is No 8 as it exemplifies true leadership. Hard to pick cos they are all equally powerful tips. I've learnt about a number of these tips through personal development and training but reading them again from you has reinforced their importance to building a huge team. Thanks for Sharing.
Great Stuff Guys…Keep it Come'n !
Thanks Ray, this really helps with setting expectations and what to focus on to maintain my energy and how to approach the team. You Rock!
Great post Ray. I have found the key is to keep on recruiting. Create training systems that you can plug new reps into and work with the team in groups. Only spend 1 on 1 time with those who deserve it not need it. Think that is a Jim Rohn clip! 🙂
This was awesome info Ray! I especially like the thought of act like a leader even when you don’t have a large team!
Bomb!!! As always!
Excellent action tips! In short, duplicate myself!

Great post and great tips. One of my biggest problem was that I wanted to do everything for my teammates and I discovered that by doing this I didn’t help anyone at all. As you said I’m not anyone’s Daddy 🙂
Hi Ray, All great tips! I love tips no. 7 most. Yes, I agree that it is the biggest of all the Network Marketing tips. We will be forever working on our business if we do not have systems already in place so that ANY new team members can get training and success tips easily. The 'leader' is in trouble. I first learned this from Tom Challan who had found himself trapped in the 'leadership role'! Excellent insights, Ray, about true leadership!
To me personally, building a team is the toughest part of this industry. Takes a lot of work, but these tips will help.
Always right on point Ray!
This is one of the most concise and mission critical posts I've read aboutnetwork marketing business
This was so great I used my post it app on my mac to post it on the desktop to see everyday. This should be used on every team in every Network Marketing company. Thanks Ray

Thanks Ray ! Great post which comes in at the time I am asking myself question about having lots of customers compared to having people want to be building business but am happy with both at the moment. You always have u ique post about network marketing business. Awesome !
Thank you Ray – Getting out of my own way now! Love your posts.
That's Awesome Nathanael!
Great share ray, I very like your “pushy and pull-y” explanation. I got here what I actually wanted from a real network marketer trainer. Anyway, I am very thankful to you for precious Mlm/Network marketing tips.
Very powerful and concise post about Network Marketing, thanks for sharing this valuable post Ray!
Cheers!
Wonderful tips. A number I already had made a point of doing,
but one, Teach to Teach was not so obvious to me.
I think sometimes our ego, makes us want to be the point man, or the person with the answers, but I now recognize that it’s critical to ditch that idea.
Teach to Teach is my new mantra.
Thanks Man, Cheers

Thanks for sharing Ray! This was very helpful. 🙂
this is good and educating. I think all of them are wonderful.
but I learnt a lot on the number one, that one should not always expect what he or she can do from the people s/he is recruiting.
Ray…first class …many thanks ?
