Why Adding 5 Team Members Should be YOUR Priority!!

Earning an income in direct sales can be done in two ways:
1 - Sales
2- Team Building

Most people understand both but undermine the value in team building. Let me shed some light on that today.

Sales - There are only so many hours in a day, week, and month. There is no possible way you can book a party and do one daily! There is no way you can go out and gather sales daily (and work another job as well.) Let's just face it - there is only so much we can do to make an income with sales. There IS a cap only because we physically cannot do it. But yet I see so many people in direct sales only focus on sales. Why? So many people feel like that if their sales are "awesome," they will be able to make a comfortable living. Well this might be true for some people, but this is the HARD way. Do you want to 'just make a comfortable living' or do you want to make a six figure income someday? And do you think those six figure income earners are making that just on sales??

"Why do something the hard way when you can do it the easy way. Right??"

Well that easy way is to make money team building. Team building allows for an ENDLESS cap in income. Why? The more people we add, the more we can make. Endless possibilities. You know what's nice about getting paid on team building - you can get paid while you sleep! Personally, sounds way better to me!

"But team building is soooooo much work."

 FALSE. Your pay out for team building is residual income. Residual income means that once the "hard work" is done, you will continue to be payed far beyond. So look at your work being front loaded. All the work in the beginning, then less and less work throughout. 

When you add a new team member, their first 60 to 90 days are crucial. You will spend the first part of those days teaching, training, and coaching. (Making yourself producible.)  Once they have gotten everything under control, they will fly. They will then begin to continue bringing in an income for you after you have initially trained them. So yes, those first couple weeks might be more time consuming than you would like, but think about the residual income coming your way.

To help paint this picture, I want you to think of this:

If I add 5 people to my team, how will this impact me?
 (Get a pen, and write these answers down, then total them up.)
1 - What is your upfront commissions  $_________
2 - Bonuses (Does your company have a fast start bonus or sign up bonus) $_____
3 - 12 month payout for them working the business $______
4 - Rank (Will it bump you in rank/ If so, so much more money does that make you) $______
5 - Example (Does adding 5 people set an example for the rest of your team? Will it motivate others? What is the value of setting a great example?) This will not have a physical value sign but a personal value sign.
6 - Reputation (How will adding 5 people affect your reputation? How will it change who you are in this business?) Again, this is adding personal value to yourself.

Consider those 6 points. Now not only does adding 5 people to your team bring you a larger income but it also adds VALUE to you as a person in this business. (Light Bulb right? You were building a team for the money and you found personal growth and value on the way. Win win!)

Well, I hope by shedding some light on the importance of this subject really helped open your eyes a little. Now that you see all the value is adding team members - go out and make it your priority. No excuses! Stop focusing on sales and booking so much and focus on finding people to talk to your opportunity about.
