Time To Start Engaging With Your Downline

Time To Start Engaging With Your Downline

















When you start your network marketing home based business, you


quickly ascertain that your downline will make or break your


business. Don't expect an affiliate to stay in this business long


unless they have a mentor which will help them along every step of


the way in the first few months. That's predominantly when you have


to be there for them. Potential "opt ins" are getting much more


skeptical nowadays as the internet is littered with network


marketing scams. YOU have to stand out from the crowd. Here is three


ways to make this possible.





Experienced network marketers will tell you that once they have


been "showed the ropes", the majority of their time is now


concentrated on helping new affiliates succeed. You see, this


business is all about building relationships with members of your


team. There are a number of ways you can do this. Firstly in order


to build trust with your prospects, get them to sign up for your own


weekly newsletter. This over time will portray you as a trustful


presence online so that when they finally decide to jump in and


start their own business, you may be the person they choose as their


mentor.





Secondly don't underestimate the power of a telephone call when


prospecting. Just because this is an online business does not mean


that all business is done online. You have to learn how to speak on


the phone in terms of how you express yourself and the opportunity


that you are providing. Also you may receive phone calls from


prospects so be prepared to be able to answer their questions


periodically. In any sales pitch in any business the key lies in how


you listen, not how you speak. Throw a few questions to your


prospect to engage him into the conversation. If he is interested


and if you target the questions correctly, he will actually sell the


opportunity to himself.





DO NOT just speak to him continuously about this fantastic


opportunity, financial freedom, global income etc. You must sell


yourself in the context that you are now going to be part of his


business life forever and will do everything you can to help him


achieve financial freedom. This sends home a much powerful message


than the next person that rings him who solely is looking for money


to sign up for an opportunity.





So now you are getting alot of enquiries because of the two things


mentioned above, (1) You have a trustful presence online and (2) You


are making phone calls to targeted prospects. What's the third and


most important aspect?(3) Be there when they need you. Now that you


are getting people that are signing up for your opportunity, you


must be able to justify your claims.





Now you must be these affiliates mentor. In the first few months,


try and do as much as you can for them. Just help them along by


helping them sponsor their first few affiliates. Teach them


everything you know about the business and how from your experience


they can get into profit quickly. By doing this you are duplicating


yourself and are fast-tracked to success. It is hugely to your


advantage if you educate your downline as best you can. I repeat


it's impossible to do this unless you start fully engaging with your


downline.
