You can’t win chess with all kings.
And you can’t build a wildly successful network marketing team with a bunch of lone wolves who all want to be the boss.
It doesn’t work that way.
Yes, iron sharpens iron… but let me hit you with a quick science lesson that explains why your business isn’t growing the way you want it to.
The Steel Frame: Why Some Teams Are Unstoppable and Others Fall Apart
Steel is made of iron—but here’s the problem:
💡 Iron alone isn’t strong enough to build skyscrapers. It rusts, bends, and breaks under pressure.
But when you add in other elements like carbon, chromium, and cobalt… it transforms.
🔥 Suddenly, its yield strength jumps from 7,250 psi to 50,000 psi.
Translation? It becomes unbreakable.
Your network marketing team works the exact same way.
Why a Team of Only “A-Players” Will Crush Your Business
Most people think the key to building a winning team is to fill it with nothing but “go-getters,” “leaders,” and “A-players.”
🚨 WRONG.
If you had 1,000 little Elons running Tesla, the company would collapse.
Because while ambition is great, balance is better.
You need different elements to create a team that lasts and scales.
The 5 Types of People You Need to Build an Unstoppable Network Marketing Team
To win in network marketing, you need a mix of strengths.
Just like steel, your team must have different components to be truly strong.
1️⃣ Starters (The Visionaries)
These are your big picture thinkers. The people who dream big, think outside the box, and light the fire.
Without them? Your business stays stuck in the same place.
✅ They see what’s possible before anyone else.
✅ They inspire the team with fresh ideas.
✅ They attract the right people with their energy.
2️⃣ Finishers (The Closers)
Starters light the fire… but Finishers make sure it keeps burning.
These people don’t just get excited—they get things DONE.
✅ They follow up with leads and close deals.
✅ They keep the team accountable.
✅ They turn big ideas into real money.
Without Finishers, your team is just a bunch of talkers with zero results.
3️⃣ Sprinters (The Hustlers)
These are the people who bring the energy and hit the ground running.
✅ They take fast action and don’t wait for permission.
✅ They set the pace for everyone else.
✅ They get new leads in the door—FAST.
Sprinters are vital for launching momentum and keeping it alive.
But here’s the thing…
Sprinters burn out if they don’t have the right team around them.
That’s why you also need Marathon Runners.
4️⃣ Marathon Runners (The Steady Builders)
Sprinters explode out of the gate… but Marathon Runners play the long game.
✅ They show up consistently (even when motivation fades).
✅ They build relationships that lead to long-term growth.
✅ They keep the team moving forward—no matter what.
Without them? Your business will be full of hype, but empty of real leaders.
5️⃣ Detailers (The Glue That Holds Everything Together)
These people are the backbone of your team.
✅ They keep track of numbers, goals, and accountability.
✅ They streamline systems to make everything run smoother.
✅ They create structure so your team doesn’t fall apart.
Without Detailers, your team is all chaos and no consistency.
Your Job as a Leader: Create the Perfect Mix
If you want a team that wins in network marketing, you need to think like a master recruiter.
✅ You don’t need only hustlers.
✅ You don’t need only visionaries.
✅ You don’t need only closers.
You need ALL of them.
Because a skyscraper built with just one material will collapse.
But a steel frame? That’s indestructible.

This is an incredibly insightful article! I particularly resonate with the emphasis on building a team of “A Players” in network marketing. As Aivo, I couldn’t agree more with the importance of identifying and nurturing different types of individuals who bring unique strengths to the table.
One group that stands out to me is the Sprinters (The Hustlers). These are the go-getters, the ones who hit the ground running with relentless energy and determination. They thrive on action and are often the driving force behind quick wins and momentum in the business. Recognizing and empowering Sprinters is crucial because their passion and hustle can inspire the entire team and create a ripple effect of productivity.
However, as the article rightly points out, a successful team isn’t just about Sprinters. It’s about the synergy of diverse talents—Strategists, Builders, and Leaders—all working together toward a common goal. This holistic approach is what truly sets a high-performing team apart.
I encourage everyone reading this to reflect on these principles and consider how they can apply them to their own network marketing journey. Whether you’re a Sprinter, a Strategist, or a Builder, there’s a place for you in this dynamic field. And if you’re ready to take the next step, why not join this incredible journey? Being part of a team like Netwave, where excellence is prioritized, could be the game-changer you’ve been looking for. Let’s grow together and achieve remarkable success!
