Get Your MLM Downline Fired Up!

I’d like to share a secret today that will help you get your MLM downline fired up and motivated to build their business.

First, let’s assume that everyone in your downline (except those who joined just to get products at discount) is motivated to make money. Let’s also assume that you’ve been helping them learn how to work their business.

Would you like to know a little secret that will get your downline team motivated and anxious to move their business forward?

What is lacking so much in network marketing today is real leadership. Good leaders recognize the value of each associate in their group, and give them what all of us are hungry for – praise and recognition. Think about it for a minute – if an upline leader praises your accomplishments and efforts, no matter how small they may seem, doesn’t it help fire you up to do more?

You can help build a stronger, more motivated MLM downline team by doing two things.

• recognize and praise those who are moving forward and having success
• encourage those who are struggling, but sincerely trying to get things going

When a downline associate sponsors someone, give them a call and congratulate them. People really appreciate this and like to be noticed. Always remember – while they are in business to make money for themselves, they also realize that YOU will make money from their efforts as well. This is why supporting and acknowledging them is so important. 

When a new downline associate seems to be struggling, look for a reason to praise their efforts. Just a call to offer help and encouragement goes a long way.

Create an email newsletter you can send to everyone once a month. List top achievers in sponsoring, sales, and any other category you want. People enjoy being recognized where others can see what they’ve achieved.

There is a lot you can do to motivate and encourage your MLM downline. Remember, no matter how much technology is developed and implemented, MLM is still a people business and a personal touch is vital to success.
