Managers Are Made, Not Born

Companies (Uplines) need to train Managers (Team Leaders) how to handle and motivate their subordinates (Team Members)

Imagine the following scenario:

* You pay a visit to your doctor one day and in the course of the conversation, he lets slip that he has no formal medical qualifications? However, he tells you not to worry because he has been involved in the "doctoring" business for years and has had lots of experience and read several books on the subject.

I bet you would be out of his clinic like a shot.

* You want to employ a car mechanic to look after your company vehicles. One application tells you how good he is at fixing cars and trucks. "Been doing it for years," he says, adding that the only thing is that he has not served as apprenticeship noe has he had any other form of formal training.

Would you give him a job? Of course, you wouldn't.

In network marketing, where the most important and most expensive asset - the team players - have you considered that the primarily goal is to build trust in your team members?

You would have realized how often when familiarizing new team members, that we took the traditional route - getting them to do stuff like planning, name listing, prospecting, problem solving and dealing with objections.

However, none of the above will help your new team member to motivate his new team/ new business.

"Tiger Woods has a natural talent for golf but he has been listening to trainers and coaches for years and he still does."

My question to you is... Would you?

So, if you want to make your life successful at managing people (to achieve MLM success), i suggest you do the same: get the coaching and training you need and keep on learning - be open and be coachable.
