What Shall I Talk About?



As the leader of a large network marketing team, I host training calls.  I really enjoy them, and I am fortunate that there is nearly always good attendance on the calls.  In this industry, I know it can be challenging getting team members to training calls, so I consider myself fortunate.

As much as I like presenting training calls, it is very challenging coming up with something different to talk about each week.  I have had calls about our back office on a few occasions, which is good, because with our company, the back office frequently changes with new tools added to make our job easier.

I have had calls discussing attitude, leadership, self-confidence, marketing, a few about the discount savings plans we sell, how our savings plans help those on Medicare, recruiting, home business tax deductions, on IBO Toolbox and on and on. 

Because we are a network marketing company, we are always gaining new team members who have not heard the calls I did weeks or months ago.  So, occasionally, I change a program I have already done a bit and present it again.

My team call is on Monday’s.  Today it is Friday, and I have not yet come up with an idea for this week’s call.  I even sent out an email to my team asking if there is something in particular they would like me to cover.  No responses so far.

So, I am interested to know how those of you who have team training calls, how do you keep the topic fresh and interesting?  There are so many IBO members who also build teams, some of you must have team calls.  We all sell different products and services, so of course, you will train on your own product.  But, network marketing is network marketing, and there are certain aspects of the industry that are the same no matter what you sell.

I would love your thoughts on this.  How do you come up with team call topics each week?
