But today, many are flocking to the business for community-connecting with others, working toward common goals, and earning income while having fun. Christensen explains how to: create a vibrant, can-do culture; communicate so people listen and respect you; make everyone feel they belong; engage team members using Facebook; coach people instead of training them; challenge your team to aim higher; celebrate team member achievements; expand your prospect pool using trade shows and events; connect with people by sharing your story; embrace change to stay ahead of the game. When you give people the community they crave, they'll be eager to join, energized to participate, and reluctant to leave. When you inspire them to contribute their best and bring others to the team, your business will take off-and never stop growing."--Publisher's description ER -
