Building Network Marketing relationships is like the relationships you find in a small farming community. My Mother’s best friend was diagnosed with a brain tumor. After spending many nights with her in the hospital, her husband came home for the first time since her surgery only to have a medical emergency himself that very night.
Lights and emergency vehicles awakened us in the night. Neighbors called other neighbors, church members, and friends rushing to his home along with the ambulance. Our friend had suffered a heart attack. No less than 30 people in their pajamas and robes met the doctor as he came to talk to the family. People in our tiny community had grabbed robes and house shoes and followed the ambulance to the hospital. People cared and they stayed until they found out he was stable. Farming communities pull together and have very strong relationships.
Building relationships in network marketing is critical to building a strong team. Many Network Marketing Companies are structured in a way that creates competition among the different teams and individuals on the same team. Sometimes that competition gets so intense, there is stealing of prospects, customers, and general immaturity.
The true spirit of
Network Marketing is teamwork and helping all your team members find their version of success. Our friend needed his fields plowed and crops planted in time for next year’s harvest. During those next few weeks, there were several neighbors who took their equipment and worked and planted his fields for him. Some were plowing while others were coming in behind them planting his crops. Not to sound “
Little House On The Prairie“, but neighbors wanted to help and took it upon themselves to help this family the best way they knew how. Building Network Marketing relationships are the foundation of creating a successful business for the future.

What is it that makes network marketing leaders different? Can you possibly predict who will rise from follower status to becoming a recognized leader – someone who is widely accepted as a guru?
I think most people would agree that when you look at a network marketing leader, you see certainty,passion and enthusiasm. So long as you see those things, a person inspires confidence in others. It’s not real scientific, but I’ll bet you’ve noticed the same thing in your life. That person with a high level of confidence is easy to follow. And what about the one without it? You hardly even notice them.
For people to follow you in your
network marketing venture, you must have chosen a path you have very strong belief in. You need total certainty, because any doubt in your voice or in your actions comes through loud and clear to everyone who is looking at you. If you demonstrate the single-minded will to lead in one definite direction, then you have a real opportunity to gather followers. On the other hand, if you run around in several different directions, then people will keep on looking for a network marketing leader.
A smart leader knows they can’t make anyone do anything for very long. Your team must want to follow you, or it will all fall apart. You tell them exactly what results to expect, and you spotlight a step-by-step plan to achieve them. You do everything in your power to make it as easy as possible for each
team member to walk (or run) their chosen path. Every time you truly inspire your people, they subscribe to your plan and commit to their assigned roles … because by doing so, they move
closer to achieving what THEY want. They become network marketing leaders.

As a leader in your company you are asked to train a new builder so they can “
fly”, you teach them network marketing
leadership skills and help them build thier new business. What if the compensation plan then asks you to cut your check significantly because your plan takes them out of your pay line? What would your natural reaction will be?
You may have to leave that new person, possibly as soon as they reach your same level, and probably before they are really ready to find another leader for your front line organization.
The process starts over again, and in the meantime how frustrating is it now for your new leader to do without your support because you are busy finding new leadership to replace lost income?
Will they eventually quit? Many times they do quit because really the only requirement to reach your same level in the company was for them to “
buy in”. The real
leadership building through network marketing training should have only begun. It takes a lot of time for most new distributors to learn to lead their own organization.
Leadership skills in network marketing or the corporate world are the same. We must provide network marketing training, but it helps if your compensation plan doesn’t take part of your paycheck when you get a new leader in your organization.
Does your Network Marketing team or Company offer training opportunities that everyone on your team can duplicate for success?
What are several things people want to know before they decide to build a MLM business with any Network Marketing team?
1) Can YOU help ME ?
2) Can I do this?
3) Will it work for ME?
Every question and obstacle a prospect throws up as a roadblock to joining you in a business opportunity can be traced back to these two questions.
Each prospect will word the questions a little differently, but all anyone looking into any network marketing business needs to know is if it will work for them and that YOU and your team can provide the business training they need to succeed.
When I was looking into various business opportunities, I had a laundry list of questions for the leaders in my organization. As a leader, you must provide your team with a system in which every business owner can duplicate for success.
The Network Marketing Company structure was a critical element in my decision, but equally important was the training system my team could offer me to help me build a successful business.
In my experience, it has been the team leaders that provide network marketing training systems that help new business owners succeed rather than the company itself.
