In this world of Internet Marketing where we have access over the entire globe we have affiliates from many different cultures and languages along with 24/7 on going activities within our teams.
As far as managing my team with these differences in mind I created extra avenues of communication for my teammates.
I have informed all teammates that we have a Facebook business fan page where they can leave messages any time they want.
I have an Email service that is dedicated strictly for my SFI teammates. It is a hosted email address and my teammates can contact me at any time there – I check the emails about 5 times a day.
Almost every day I post a message in the Stream for my teammates. Something up-lifting or encouraging along with notices of milestones reached.
Four or five times a month I send out a newsletter to all my teammates, informing them of SFI news and news about how our team is doing and sometimes about a great product in TripleClicks that they may not be aware of.
To top that I also send E-cards to new affiliates (along with information of the different ways to contact me) when they join or when they advance to a new level.
If an affiliate contacts me in any of the above methods I try to respond to them that day (if possible). I do not try to set up personal time to get on Skype or instant messaging services at this time I just cannot afford such things.
As a team leader with many activities I have very little time to invest in contacting individuals unless they request it.
As my personal team grows larger I will acquire more effectual ways of communication with individuals when needed.
This business is about building relationships through our partners in our team. I am always working on ways of improving avenues. Like in the future I already have access to a conference room that can hold 50 plus members at one time. I would schedule live training at any time of day or night (to accommodate those in different time zones).
When enough people want to gather in a single country I would have a person from that country to interpret the training so all can understand.
