Today, I’d want to talk about the most important aspects of MLM recognition.
If you want to be able to establish a great team and have long-term success in this sector, recognition is absolutely necessary. People desire attention. I remember hearing somewhere that infants yearn for it, and grown men are willing to give their lives for it.
The provision of GENUINE recognition will do more than anything else I can think of to assist in the expansion of (and retention within) your MLM Team. My intention is to provide you with a rundown of useful options so that you can choose the path that is most suitable for you.
When it comes to recognition, in order for it to be effective, you need to make sure that it is catered to the one who is being recognized. It’s a case of different strokes for different folks because people have varying temperaments, personalities, and ways of expressing their love for one another.
In point of fact, one person’s view of a fantastic recognition opportunity can be another person’s idea of a terrible opportunity. Because of this, it is imperative that you understand as much as possible about each member of your team.
What Qualities Should You Look for in Other People?
This is one of the questions that I get asked the most frequently by other people:
In my opinion, it is important to show gratitude to other people for even the tiniest of their accomplishments. Providing care and education for your team is like to bringing up a child or pet. When they perform well, you provide them with positive feedback to promote even more of the desired behavior.
If you simply pay attention to the major details, you won’t see very many major events transpire within your organization. Why? Because the majority of people in this industry do not engage in major activities.
You have to lead the members of your team through a succession of simple tasks, and they have to gradually work their way up to more difficult milestones.
I’d want to take a moment to thank folks for the following items.
1. Bringing on board their first individual
2. Getting 10 NOs
3. Helping a team member enroll someone
4. Rank advancing
5. Making a retail sale
6. Having finished the list of their names
7. Communicating with everyone on the list that contains their name
8. Successfully completing the training for getting started
9. Establishing a time for a three-way call
10. Holding their first encounter inside their own house
11. Signing up for an auto-shipping program
In the end, what it comes down to is that you need to identify the behaviors that you want people to engage in MORE of (the income producing activities).
Strategies, Ideas, and Suggestions for MLM Recognition
The following is a list of straightforward methods that are both simple and effective for recognizing your MLM team.
# 1: Handwritten Note
In spite of what you may have been led to believe, handwritten notes are really effective. They are significantly more effective than sending a message via text, email, or Facebook. You might have personalized stationery manufactured and then write a letter to the individual you want to recognize and send it to them through the mail.
#2: knowledgment from the General Public
No matter what you do, make sure to publicly acknowledge each individual member of the team, whether you’re conducting a webinar or a conference call. Always take the opportunity to acknowledge their accomplishments in front of their peers.
#3. A Gift With a Personal Touch
I can’t speak for you, but I adore receiving gifts that have been personalized. I have no doubt that the other members of your team will. You may have something custom produced for them such as a coffee mug, a pen, a shirt, or something else with their name on it.
# 4: Cash
In these bizarre times, cash is the only thing that matters. It does not even have to be a significant amount of money. Even if you just give them a twenty dollar bill with a kind comment encouraging them to go out and have a great lunch, it will make them pretty happy.
# 5: Create a Unique Club
You could develop a unique club for folks. The following are some examples:
• Club for Retail Sales of $1,000
• Rank Maker’s Club
• Club for Sponsoring Twenty Individuals (for helping team members rank up)
You could establish specific requirements that applicants must meet in order to meet in order to join the club.
#6: Put them in consideration for a prize offered by the company (if applicable)
There are certain businesses in our sector that honor its salespeople for their service and leadership with awards. It is possible to put forth candidates for these awards. If that is something that your organization provides, you should put forth candidates from your team.
# 7: Free Gifts
Some folks are crazy about getting free stuff. The following is a selection of instances of free gifts that you could send to other people.
1. A Free Trial Version
2. Free Goods or Services
3. A free share of the CO-OP advertising pool
4. Free Drop Cards
5. Postcards Given Away for Free
6. Postage Stamps (for mailings)
7. A mug for coffee
8. Shirt for the Business
9. A gift card to either Amazon or Starbucks
#8: Wall of Fame
This is an incredible method for identifying individuals. You might establish a Hall of Fame or a Wall of Fame for your organization. For example, everyone who recruits fifty new members is eligible for consideration for induction into the Hall of Fame. Alternately, everyone who sells products totaling $3,000 is eligible to be inducted onto the Wall of Fame.
# 9: Invitation to a Private Event
You have the option of organizing a private gathering. You must gain one new retail customer and sponsor one individual during that month in order to be eligible for the event (as an example). Make sure there is some sort of need to meet in order to participate in the event, regardless of whether or not there is a fee involved. People will be encouraged to put forth a little bit more effort as a result of this. You could even give the best performers of the month VIP seating at the event if you really wanted to reward their hard work.
10th Placement: Trophy or Plaque
Trophies and plaques are not only reasonably priced but also have a pleasant appearance. CrownAwards.com is where I place my order to get awards for my squad. You may have gorgeous medals crafted with the person’s name engraved on them for a price that is lower than $5 per.
#11: Most Valuable Player of the Week
An incentive that I used to run for my team was called “Beast of the Week.” A certificate, public recognition on the weekly webinar, and a gift were given to the employee who had the best performance during the previous week.
#12: Distributor of the Month
It’s a good idea to have a monthly Distributor of the Month award, similar to the MVP of the Week. You can increase its effectiveness by giving out certificates, prizes, and public acknowledgment to those who participate. You might even have a plaque for the Distributor of the Month, and each person whose name is added to the plaque would get a copy of the plaque.
# 13: Conduct Interviews With Them
Interviewing people on your weekly conference call or webinar is another fantastic opportunity to honor employees in your organization. Ask them to tell you their experience and some of the best advice they’ve ever received for success. You might even approach them with the idea of instructing a course on their specialized field within the company.
#14: Highlight them on your team website or Facebook group.
If your team maintains a website or a group on Facebook, you will be able to identify individual members of the group.
15: Acclaim from the Public Via Social Media
You might honor the members of your team for their accomplishments by publishing a post on one of the social media platforms. You might also have other members of the team comment on the postings, like them, and share them to ensure that the content receives a lot of interaction.
#16 Offer to Pay for Their Lunch
Treat a member of your team to lunch and a pleasant quality time together for an hour or two. Engage in a cordial exchange of conversation with them. Learn more about them as a person. Inquire of them, and pay attention to their answers. Focus entirely on serving their needs.
#17: Have Corporate Get in Touch With Them
It is possible that this will be too effective if corporate is prepared to phone people when they are asked to do so. You should ask your CEO or one of the other business leaders to call one of your reps and recognize them for something in particular.
# 18: Verbal Feedback
It is critical and productive to provide feedback verbally to someone, particularly when that person is new to the company. Even something as simple as telling someone “atta boy” can have a significant impact. If at all feasible, have this conversation in person or via video chat so that you can look the person in the eye when you are speaking to them about it.
Advice From the Experts
It is essential to be GENUINE when recognizing another person. Avoid recognizing someone only based on an indistinct trait. Don’t just say wonderful work. Explain to them the reason behind your recognition of them.
Instruct in recognizing. I would like to encourage everyone on your team to show appreciation for their teammates by following the suggestions I provided before.
Recognize someone daily. Find at least one member of the team to recognize each day and make sure they do it. Developing the habit of doing recognition will become easier with this assistance.
