7 reasons why you should model your Multi-Pure team after the Dave Matthews Band

Lessons learned from the Dave Matthews Band can help grow your Multi-Pure business!

I network with other network marketers from other companies and always learn new things that can apply to Multi-Pure. This morning I read a fun blog by Philip Blackett and he makes some really good points that I wanted to share with you:

"Have you run into trouble building and sustaining a team that grows with you? When it comes to network marketing, each of us wants to build a team for the long-term, not only to build more monthly residual income but also to help more people accomplish their dreams as well with you. However, for a number of reasons, building such a solid team with little attrition can be a challenge for some.

I want to introduce you to the Dave Matthews Band, who I use as a model in building my team. DMB has been playing together for almost 20 years to much success (look them up). Remember, success leaves clues for others to follow.

Here are SEVEN ways that the Dave Matthews Band shows how to build a solid MLM team:

1) They all work with a common mission in mind

DMB makes it their mission to play their best music so that their fans have the most amazing LIVE experience possible that they will remember for years to come. They all think with the same mindset towards a common goal. Is YOUR team working together to accomplish a common mission? What is that mission?

2) Everyone has a specialty that they focus on and appreciate each other’s differences.

No one feels compelled or pressured to learn the other person’s craft. They each focus on being the best they can be with what they have, so they can collectively be their best when they put their pieces together. When it comes to YOUR team, you may have some people who focus on one-on-one presentations while others want to market on Facebook. If you’re good in article marketing, you shouldn’t be forced to learn Twitter if that is not your thing. As a team, learn to appreciate other’s differences, encourage them to be the best at it, and to bring them all together as one.

3) Each other’s specialties brought together for a collective, synergistic sound that pleases all.

This builds on point #2 in that each band member’s “voice” brings the type of synergy together that makes 2+2 = 5. They play in harmony and the crowd definitely appreciates it. How is your team working together to bring each other’s talents and expertise together to be a force to be reckoned with in your local area?

4) Each one is there for each other in their time of need (they care beyond money).

For almost 20 years, you can imagine how this band has been there for each other during both good and bad times. You should look at your team as your counterparts on a long journey towards freedom, where you can depend on each other for training, support, encouragement and help. Invest in each other beyond getting them some flyers to hand out at the next home meeting.

5) They don’t put other artists down but actually seek to work WITH them.

How do you look at other teams or network marketing companies? Do you see them as people to sabotage in their success or seek to find ways you can work together or help each other out? We may be of different companies but we all still seek a better life through network marketing.

6) Willingness to “experiment” or to “think outside the box”

Whether it’s trying a new sound or a new online marketing strategy, have you considered the possibility of trying something new with your business or has your team been using the same techniques that were used in the 1990s?

7) They have Long-Term Success (and Fun) as a FAMILY

Look at your team as more than just team members. These are people that believe in you and what you dream of. Together, you can help each other achieve what most people would think is impossible. If it is true that you become the average of the 5 people you hang out with the most, I would want to be a composite of MY team."
