The Benefits of Being Part of a Team

One of the things I like most about being part of our team is that there's always someone to go to for help, encouragement, or support. This is especially true for the "HOT" Chocolate Team as we are also part of a much bigger support system led by a marketing expert with 30 years experience in the business. I've already mentioned him in an earlier post. His name is Malcolm Peters and we get training from him twice every week.

The last training was especially relevant for us and turned into an in-depth look at the team's marketing. This remarkable man who is so willing to assist those who make an effort to help themselves, took a look at what we've been doing and suggested ways for us to make a better connection with leads. We're getting leads OK. Our problem has been in converting them and Malcolm got involved to help us change that.

Marketing is always a matter of test - result - and test again. There's never just one way to attract people and we have to remember that this is a learning curve. None of the team members has any prior experience in this business so having a system-based model is a huge plus for us.

Usually, you need to have had previous network marketing success in the form of numerous contacts/recruits, a penchant for 'selling', a knowledge of network marketing, and the resources to place advertising and pay for your own website and squeeze pages, etc. This doesn't even remotely guarantee success, but it can help tremendously in the self-confidence department if nothing else :).

Our team doesn't have any of this experience or resources, hence our co-op was created, plus we joined forces with someone who does have the experience. The fact that we're taught a four-step system is a tremendous benefit for us. We simply have to follow what we're taught!

As long as we continue to perform simple tasks on a consistent basis we cannot help but be successful.
