One of the basics in building your business with SFI is that you will realize that you need a team of workers to be successful. It will be your responsibility to create good relationships with your affiliates in order for them to really feel like they are a valued team member.
We must remember that SFI is not a “social” network but is based on generating an income that can set people free of financial worries, but our endeavor to succeed is dependent on the success of our teammates. With that said we can easily see just how valuable each and every person in our down-lines is.
When we have something of value to us we are eager to share that with others so part of letting your teammates know they are of value to you is to list their accomplishments (no matter how small they are) in you weekly team mails.
One of the things I like to do is when I send them a ECard for something they accomplished I like to inform them how much of a great example they are to the rest of the affiliates in the team and how good of an example they are to their own team members.
Most people like the feeling of belonging to something that is making a difference in the world or in other people’s lives. We like to belong to a group of people who are like-minded and can relate one to another on common issues. That is why there are millions of people belonging to social groups – we want to be part of a good group of people.
With the above said it would be a good idea to give your team a name. I ran a survey on the name for our team when I first started building my group of affiliates. I posted three different names for our team and asked the members to vote on the name they wanted. I think that one newsletter drew more responses than any other newsletter that year.
Note: When picking out names to vote on make sure no one else in SFI is using the same team name. I submitted a ticket to find out no one was using the names voted on.
Try to get your teammates involved when making decisions for the direction of your team or for a team contest. Ask them what kind of contest they want. What kind of prize they want to try to win. Your teammates will feel important when they get to be part of the decision making.
The surest way to let your teammates know they are valuable is to answer any of their questions as quickly as possible. Getting them an answer to their questions in a speedy manner shows them how much you value them and the work they are performing.
I also must end this with something that is so simple that we often overlook the power of:
Simply telling them how valuable they are to you and the team.
