Why It's Critical to Train Your Downline
Essentially, there are two different mindsets on how to succeed
in network marketing. While there may be debate as to which way
is the best, in either system you benefit from any amount of
time it requires to fully train your downline as to how to do
the business.
RECRUIT ORIENTED BUSINESS
Many compensation plans are based mostly on recruiting more and
more people and have nothing or very little to do with selling
any actual products.
Since the money in this category comes from income made as you
increase your downline, you have two options. One, constantly
recruit more and more people, or two, recruit the same people
over and over again into multiple programs.
PRODUCT OR SERVICE ORIENTED BUSINESS
These kind of businesses focus more on repeat sales from
customers than creating a downline. In other words, besides
recruiters, these businesses are retailers as well.
Either way, no matter what kind of business you get into, it
still pays to train your downline.
LEVERAGING YOUR TIME
The beauty of network marketing resides in recruiting a downline
to work in the business with you. In a traditional job, you
trade your time at work for money in return for that work. The
only way to increase the money you earn then is to increase the
number of hours you work, or convince your employer to raise
your level of pay.
Networking, however, frees you from such problems. As you
increase the number of people working with you in your downline,
you also increase the number of hours worked in the business
because not only do you get paid for your efforts, but for
theirs as well. This is leveraging your time.
Say you work only 10 hours per week in your network marketing
business. If you have 20 people in your downline that also work
10 hours per week, that gives you a total of 200 work hours per
week that you receive benefits from besides your own 10 hours.
>From this standpoint, it's easy to see how a better trained
downline will achieve better results for you in your business.
Motivating your downline is crucial in order to keep them
involved in the business. Without their involvement, you cannot
leverage your time.
As well, the better informed you keep them, the better their
chances at success, and the better your chances at success as
well.
Even in Recruit Oriented businesses, you'll gain a larger
downline faster if you keep in touch and train them from your
experience. Keeping repeat contact also establishes your
credibility and greatly improves your chances of signing them up
in other opportunities you join in the future.
Training does not necessarily take personal experience either.
Even if all you do is pass along what your upline sends you or
refer them to ezine articles or sites that you found to be
interesting or helpful, you are still keeping contact,
informing, and motivating.
The ultimate goal of residual income cannot be achieved on your
own. You are dependent on your downline. Too many people online
do not realize this and simply ignore those who sign up with
them.
If you do this, you will NOT see the success you are dreaming
about.
Stay in touch with, motivate, and inform your downline. These
are business associates and their success is crucial to your own.
