A Recipe for Building Leaders
If you were making a pizza for dinner, but left off the sauce and cheese, you’d serve a bland lump of dough for family and friends. The same thing happens when you provide a leadership development program without the essential ingredients: Time, variety, and a personal touch.

How to Build a Championship Team
The WIFLE is a powerful tool to help you build a championship team. WIFLE stands for 'What I Feel Like Expressing' and enables each team member to express what is currently going on in his or her life, both in the business and personally. Too often it is assumed that people leave their emotions at the door when they come to work, but the reality is this unexpressed or ‘bottled up’ emotion can all too often impact team performance.

An Apprentice Lesson in Leadership
Recently on The Apprentice, I had to ask a member of the winning team Kinetic to volunteer to go to the losing team, Arrow.
Keep It Short, Quick, Crisp and Clean
I’ve often said that business is a relay race. All team members must be fast, focused, and able to coordinate with each other. Each member has to know how to run with and pass the baton. No runner can lag behind or the entire team will suffer.
DECISION MAKERS VS. INFLUENCERS
Because clients’ needs have become increasingly complex, most salespeople recognize that to meet those needs a team effort is required. Being able to gain access to team members, preparing with them, and performing in front of the client as an effective team are essential to meet clients’ broader and more complex needs.
What Is the Most Effective Quality Within Your Sales Team?

What's The Best Internet Business To Start?
Of course, you have to make a TEAM of investments (Time, Energy, Attention, and Money) to get into any business, and that never changes. These days, though, you can get into business in cyberspace for a fraction of the TEAM investment previous generations needed to open retail stores, car washes, or law offices. And there are plenty of online business opportunities out there. But which one's best....

In business I meet plenty of salespeople who seem busy, but only a few who are truly effective. The reality about busy salespeople is that most are unproductive in comparison to their time-to-output ratio, because the amount of actual value they create is limited by their available time spent per customer.
‘Til Death Us Do Part. I Don’t Think So.
As we build our network marketing team, we tend to look at each new team member that joins our group as a long lasting, forever relationship. But the reality is that only a few team members are with your business for any length of time, the rest will come and go.
Strategic approach to all accounts
A strategic approach is not limited to National or Major Accounts only. Unless your sales are 100% opportunistic, a strategy is still key to managing your team, and for each member of the team looking to succeed not only on an account level but their whole territory.
