Program Guidelines
Program Guidelines are not policies but recommended practices that allow group to run more smoothly and effectively.
Visiting Groups
• Before visiting another group, the visiting Member should call that Group CEO
first.
• Members visiting other group should announce that they are from another group.
• Visiting Members must not do or say anything that competes with a Member of that
group.
• The group should be cautious in giving referrals to individuals they don’t know,
including visiting Members.
• Visiting Members should pay for their own meal.
• Visiting Members follow the same visiting policies as non-members; no more than
two visits allowed.
Absences and Tardiness
• Absences and tardiness mean less business for Members; therefore, the Membership Committee may give warnings to Members who are consistently late or leave early. If the problem continues, the Member’s classification may be subject to being re-opened.
Substitute Program
• Potential substitutes include customers, friends, family, TEAM Members from other
GROUPS and/or employees.
• The primary purpose for a substitute is to represent a TEAM Member. TEAM recommends
minimal use of a substitute. However, a Member may use substitutes up to FOUR times in a six-month period.
• Members should alert the GROUP CEO of a substitute so that the Visitor Host can be
there to greet him/her.
• At the discretion of Group Leadership, if the substitute’s classification is not filled then substitutes may be permitted to present their business during the visitor meeting section.
Business Representation and coaching
• Members agree to only represent the professional classification approved by the Membership Committee.
• Members of TEAM who represent multi-level marketing organizations should represent their products and services in TEAM and not the business opportunity element of their business.
