Retention 101- How To Keep People On Your Team...

Here are a few things that you can do to improve your retention rate in your network marketing
business...

Communication- We are in the age of technology, use it to keep your team informed. Email them
your successes regularly. Get them excited, your excitement is contagious, and your team will
naturally take on a new life. Conduct multi media training. Even if your company provides training,
conduct your own. This sets you apart as a leader that is willing to personally invest time in your
team's success. This helps to build a trusting relationship with your downline.


Develop a team guide- take your experience and put it into print. Tell them how to succeed and
what to avoid. As new people join, give this guide to them. This is yet another way of giving a sense
of knowing that they are participating in a proven system. It looks professional and it takes the
pressure off your team of having to teach each person everything. This is called duplication.

Start a team advertising Co-op- This is what gets everyone involved financially. Many will be
scared to go out start their own marketing, but when you give them a boost by getting them some
traffic for contributing to the advertising fund, the dream becomes more real to them-they start to
believe, understand, and get excited about getting their own traffic while they anticipate the traffic
from your co-op. This is yet another opportunity to show your leadership skills.

Doing these three things will increase your retention and duplication rates as well as develop and
display your leadership skills.
