How to Train Your Team

Your downline is one of your most important parts of direct sales. Your
sales come first of course, but having a well trained team selling for
you can account for half your income.

The following are three simple ways to train your team, while builidng
your own income at the same time.

1. Hold Meetings
Use meetings not just to direct your team, but let it be open for ideas
as well. Holding monthly meetings to talk about the month is a great
way to help everyone as a whole. Talk about who sold what and where,
and any special tips anyone might like to share. It's a great time to
answer questions as well!

2. Teach by Example
If you aren't selling products yourself, this needs to be at the top of
your list. Just as children pick up things from their parents, your
team is doing the same.

3. Newsletters
Publish a weekly or monthly newsletter. Include expert articles designed
to help motivate and train your team. You can also include a summary
of your meeting as well, for those that didn't make it.
