The last thing you want is an unmotivated, lazy downline. Success in any MLM is built on interdependent relationships. You depend on your downline's performance, as it is directly tied to your profits.



In the same manner, your salespeople look up to you when it comes to learning the tricks of the trade. This is always essential for MLM success. Although your people would want to earn as much as they can, it is not easy to accomplish if they don't know how.

If you want your associates to stay focused and motivated, it must start from you. Giving them the right instruction and skills training will surely reap impressive consequences.

Which kind of training is required? You have to understand which skills your salespeople really necessitate. Evaluate your downline and check the abilities that need improvement. Your team may be composed of newer recruits, after all.

In response, you need to give them an easy-to-follow marketing system. This should be a step-by-step system that covers lead generation, follow-up and conversion. Those are the three most important elements in marketing any MLM.

This marketing scheme needs to be shown to your downline in the clearest way possible for them to learn the same strategies you have used for successful marketing outcomes.

After this training, a good portion of your downline should be getting good results, and very happy to be in the program. BUT, you can't let them settle for 100 sales per month when they could easily make 200 sales per month.

There are people who don't thrive well during competition, but there is always a way for you to focus on their confidence. Exploit the need for excellent compensation.

As an example, you can include the name of a specific downline in your company newsletter or any publication that features exemplary performances.

You might even want to find a way to reward them materially. For example, you could purchase a tool that will help them in their business -a course on copy writing, for example - and give it away free to the 'most improved' downline member.

There will always be excellent opportunities for these.

If you want your business to have a competitive downline, you have to show them how indispensable they are. You should be concerned about their achievements as well, through encouragement and constant assistance.
