Most Network Marketing companies are usually designed with the Home Business entrepreneur in mind. There for the starter materials, training,tools and support are geared toward the Home Business owner making success more probable.

Whatever the reason for wanting to make a Network marketing company the vehicle for your Home Business success, you will want to get focused right away on building an adequate downline of distributors of your own, also called your Organization. Although you can make sizeable commissions in network marketing companies by focusing entirely on product sales, you will nevertheless want to build an organization or downline if you really want to leverage your Home Business and eventually become a big, lucrative business. Generally in Network marketing companies you can build a sizeable income from a residual base of customers, meaning customers who go on autoship and have orders sent to them automatically every month, every 45 days, or a different time interval. You will want to teach the members of your organization how to do this so that they will have a similiar foundation with this "recurring database" of customers whose credit cards are charged automatically.

The key to building your downline is to essentially duplicate yourself and this requires training. You want to have a process that your downline member can copy to achieve the same results as you. While they probably recieved instructions in their starter kit explaining how to achieve this, it is in your own best interest to further train and help them with the proper mindset and knowledge required. In other words, you need to mentor and teach them untill they are self sufficient.

Therefore, you will want to give your new member as much attention as possible during this time frame. As their sponser, they will be looking to you for guidance and leadership, and the best way to guide him or her is by example. If you are percieved as highly motivated and enthusiastic this will rub off on the recruit and they will tend react in kind.
