   CarlIt’s a funny thing IM you would think would be at the forefront of mikaetrng innovations, instead it seems to me it just recycles very old idea’s and puts them in the new format for the internet.Team mikaetrng comes in a few different guises. So we need to Find out what sort of team mikaetrng Carl had in mind when he posed his questionTeam mikaetrng is one of the oldest forms of mikaetrng it used to be call Tribal Marketing.Sales and Marketing managers realised if they divided their sales teams into different groups or teams and introduced completion amounts the groups sales magically increased. The managers also noted if you set one team against another the need to provide incentives to their individual members of their sales force’s actually reduced , the need for a sales force to be the best team worked some psychological magic. This form of mikaetrng or sell proved to work best in tough economic times. In better economic time the best sales people soon realised that their results were being held back by the weaker sales people in their team. They moved on to work at places where more individual rewards were available, or smart managers moved to reduce the importance of teams in their organisations and went back to individual rewards. The principals of Team or tribal mikaetrng go back as far as the days when teams of people went door to door selling sewing machines or encyclopaedias and more recently call centres sell anything from phone plans to holidays. Why is relevant to Car’s question well lot of TE owners have introduced Team or Tribal mikaetrng dividing their membership into teams or tribes and offering incentives to the team that surf the most pages in a give time period of time. Is this a good thing, well for the TE owner it lifts their pages viewed, for the team that wins they are happy with their reward, but is it good for the advertiser having people surf even more blindly just to be in the number one team or get a few extra credits. The form of Team mikaetrng currently doing the rounds on the internet is a bit different in that there is just one team using the same URL and all seeming prepared to work for the team and not themselves . From the number of teams springing up there must be something to this form of Internet Marketing is it because it works, or is it that people feel safer inside a team where most of the actual mikaetrng or selling is done for you or is it that it really works and people are getting better results than when they were working alone sorry not providing answers here just asking more questions. However from a personal point of view I think that team or tribal mikaetrng may seem a safe haven during our current world economic down turn in the long term building an individual list or promoting yourself will prove to be the winning strategy .Just to finish as a site owner that pays an incentive to members that sign up new members I like many other site owners have been hit by team mikaetrng whereby a group of members all get together and promote one of their URL’s and then divide up the reward amongst themselves , needless to say once the reward has been paid you never see the new members that signed up via this method again, so yes I am prejudiced against team mikaetrng so you should bear that in mind when reading my conclusion that team or mikaetrng is only a short term solution to our current economical situation and that personalised branded mikaetrng will win in the the long term.mike
