They key is to motivate your team and not be to pushy or overbearing.

So, how do you keep your team motivated? Here are some tips for keeping your downline excited and motivated!

This will keep your team members excited as they see other members of their team doing well and also remind your downline you are there for them.

2. Offer an incentive to the team member who has the highest sales for a month or to the team member who introduces the most people to the business. The incentive could be somthing very simple, yet it is used to give your team a goal to acheive to win. Some sponsors offer a gift certificate, next months new product, or even inexpensive items from your company.

You will find that many team members will work hard to reach the incentive.

Your team needs to know you are available for help if they need it and also enjoy a call to congradulate them on their own personal success. This time will give you some one on one time with each team member to answer any questions they may have and also remind them of any incentive you may be offering.
