I have found that when I have team contests, my team
members are more active with their businesses.
I started a new contest a few weeks ago that will run
indefinitely. I want to thank Andrea, one
of my team members, for the idea for this competition.
As we all know, Goals + Action = Results. Therefore, the more action team members are
taking, the better the results will be.
I sat down and created a list of tasks that I believe all
network marketers should be doing to build their business. I assigned a different number of points that
could be earned for various tasks based on the time it takes to perform and the
difficulty level.
To win the contest, team members must earn points. I believe that team training calls are very
important to a successful business, so I’ll award team members when they dial
into calls and more points when they participate in the conversation. ONLY those who are on team calls can win the
contest.
- · When team members post a comment on IBOToolbox, for instance, they get two points.
- · If they write and post a blog, they earn five points.
- · If they sell a product, they earn 25 points.
- · If they present our program to a business or group, they earn 10 points.
These are a just few examples, but there are many more
tasks for which team members can earn points.
On our team call, whoever is participating in the contest shares what
activities they performed during the week and the total number of points they
earned for those activities. By sharing
what they have done during the week, other team members are learning new ways to
market their business from one another, and they are challenged to do those
activities themselves.
At the end of each month, I award a small prize to the
person with the most points. At the end
of each quarter, I award a slightly larger prize. I don’t spend much money on the prizes. They are an acknowledgement of team members’
achievements, and everyone loves to win contests!
I have been using contests to inspire my team members for
some time. I have had different types of
contests, and I change them periodically to keep them fresh. The contests encourage everyone to work harder
on their businesses. And, we also have
fun with the contests, which makes our team calls even better.
