How do I wake up my sleeping MLM downline?
Is there a better strategy to help my lazy downline? Have you faced this same problem and how did you overcome it?
I brought this up because over and over again you will have a certain number of downlines, let’s say maybe a total of 100, but ONLY a fraction of them are actually working.
Why is this? I don’t know, but what I do know is that you can lead a horse to the river, BUT you can’t force it to drink water!
However, here are some suggestions;
1. What is the real reason you signed up? Go back and find out, maybe they needed a little cash flow to pay off their debt, now that they paid the money they owed, they don’t feel compelled to work as hard as they used to, hence the laziness. do is keep in touch with them, like sending an email of encouragement, reminding them of any conference calls, etc., you never know you might light the spark again.
2. Some are just naturally lazy, no matter what you do, they won’t. This group can either forget about them or alternatively give them great information like the Magnetic Sponsorship book, the daily blog post, only in time they might just have the courage to pick up the rowing.
3. Some are just confused, they get the idea, but with so many shiny objects around, product launch after product launch, they focus their energy on the wrong activities and forget the fundamentals that drove their business in the first place. Now with this group, as your mentor, you need to tell them what’s important, hold weekly webinars, interact with them personally, etc. What they need is a step-by-step plan of what they need to do and when.
4. Keep this in mind though; “Some will. Some won’t. So what?”
Stay focused on learning skills that will further enhance your marketing knowledge so you can get more reps and help those who are serious. Your business will then explode too. Ignore those who are not doing anything that they will or will not produce. Don’t waste your time on things that don’t help you build your business.
Keep looking for new people! Always continue to fill the pipe and find more people.
The bottom line… “MLM Downline”
Your MLM downline needs to find motivation on their own. Please continue to keep them informed of what is happening with your company/products and get them on your email list. Work with those who want it NOW. If the others become interested again, they will let you know.
