How to Build your Online MLM Business and Keep your Downline Producing If you have recently signed up for a multi-level marketing business, no doubt you've already discovered that finding good recruits--and keeping them--is not as easy as you thought.
You might be part of the problem.
Here's why.
To be a successful MLM business owner, you have to be a successful salesperson.
And to be a successful salesperson, you must know your stuff.
One of the biggest problems with MLM businesses is attrition.
That's when someone signs up, tries out a business for a few months, then drops out.
Gone are your commissions from that recruit and gone is some of your hard work.
All MLM businesses will have some attrition, but high numbers of recruits dropping out of your downline are the death knell to your business.
As the leader, you must be more proactive with your recruits, not just let them go off on their own and become frustrated with their own business.
You will never build a successful MLM business without building a successful team beneath you.
Too many MLM business owners let their downline languish, forgotten.
But if you had a car dealership, for example, would you just let your sales staff do their own thing, without instruction, without meetings, without motivation? People who treat their online business like a real business are far more successful than those who let it "run itself.
" No business can run itself.
If your downline is happy and informed, they are more likely to stay with the business and keep producing.
Offer weekly or semi-weekly conference calls.
Have a "sales person of the month" and offer some token reward-and make certain everyone knows about it.
As an MLM business owner, you will have your core group who continues to produce, but if you want to build your business, you must be a team leader.
