Time To Start Engaging With Your Downline
by Jack Foley
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.
