I read a lot of books and this book by Jordan Adler is a must read if you are in the Direct sales Circus. Jordan has a different approach to the whole team builder idea. In short Jordan starts to train his new people to replace him from day one.
If you are in the networking arena you might think that this is crazy. Why would he want them to replace him from day one? Don’t he love to be the team leader? The one that everybody looks up to and call all the time?
When you read the book you will learn why he trains them to replace him. And it’s not that he don’t like to be looked up to. But do you know how much work it is to be the guy everybody calls for the smallest thing?

The thing or the pitch in network marketing is time freedom. How is it time freedom when you have to take every call from your whole team 24-7? It’s not right. That’s why Jordan trains he’s new people to replace him from day one.
The core task is to set your team up with the company, uplines and the right training. Teach them how to find the info they need without calling you for the smallest thing. You need to get them to stand alone and focus on their goals and dreams.
