5 Inspiring Tips to Grow Your Downline

In network marketing, the larger your Team, the larger your commission check! These easy to follow steps will help you to grow your team in no time (and then you can teach them how to properly sell)! If you are going to succeed BIG in network marketing, you need to build a strong team. Here is how you can build a team of dedicated, passionate, skilled and engaged people who would help you live the dream you signed up for when you start network marketing. Each of these steps is vital to your success. There are no shortcuts, but you can accelerate your team’s growth using these tips:

1. The 3 E’s of Success

You can only earn based on the success of your team. So when you do a good job training your reps, and support them to thrive, you will build a deeply-rooted team where each member is:

• Educated

• Empowered

• Engaged

An educated, empowered and engaged teammate is passionate and dedicated. There is a higher level of perseverance and resilience, more innovation, and most importantly, a great attitude. Many network marketers recruit as many people as possible but don’t take the time to properly train them. This results in a team of “warm bodies” who:

• Are not fully engaged

• Lose enthusiasm quickly

• Don’t know how to sell

• Don’t know where to sell

• Don’t know whom to sell to

• Can’t handle rejection

• Don’t understand how to teach their recruits (the principles of duplication)

• Don’t know about marketing

• Don’t understand the network marketing industry

This kind of team is essentially worthless. It’s frustrating for everyone. They have invested in the business, and now they feel abandoned and their sponsors feel frustrated about having a non-producing team. Whether they are on the receiving end of this (as a recruit who hasn’t received in-depth training) or a leader who is not supporting the team, it’s a lose-lose proposition. Sponsors often wonder why they are so busy and frustrated wasting time with people who never engage… without considering why people don’t engage. They fail to realize that the problem isn’t a lukewarm team. They are the problem. They have not approached team-building with the right mindset. They have not given their team the support needed: the education and empowerment that leads to engagement. Your success is determined by two things:

• How much value you provide

• How much support you offer

Helping your team be as good - or better - as you are, will ensure that everyone thrives.
