Can we Motivate our Downline to Take Action
People join MLM business as to do business as part time, but gets demotived when their downlines don't work.
One of the most common question asked by a new emerging leader in network marketing is how to motivate their downline to get into action.
“Am I doing something wrong because I’ve signed 18 people and not even a single person is doing anything. I use to send encouraging messages, recommend training materials, chat about their dreams and goals but nothing changes. I even take them to meetings, paid for training materials out of my own pocket. Where am I wrong?”
This is a common question of many joinees, because they know that in network marketing we earn money (fortune) by leveraging the time, talent and energy of lots of people(downline). i.e. Lots of people each doing a little bit.
So is there any way to ignite our downline to take action?
Unfortunately, it is a complete "NO". Because you cannot want success more for your team
members (downline) than they want for themselves. We can't change anyone's destiny.
Leaders always try to motivate them, but if no one is ready to grow.. the best thing you can do is go and start to build a new team.
Stop investing time on people who are not doing anything. Those who understand the business and want to take action, work with them.
People who want to wark will call themselves for advice and counselling. Make them attend events, seminars, read training material, etc. They will trouble you like crazy people for the first few days, once they learn everything from you, they will start building business on their own.
The reality is -
IT IS GOOD TO FIND A NEW PERSON, THAN TO FOCUS ON PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT DOING.

You can show them the path, support them with training materials, coaching and even encourage them to participate in company sponsored events & seminars to get the bigger picture, but you can’t run the race for them.

The reality is -
- 80-82% of the people you introduce to this business of network marketing will never do anything.
- 10-12% will sponsor 20-30 new members and wait for them to make them rich, once they failed to do so they get discouraged and quit.
- So now only 6-10% people left. These people are committed to produce result. These are your leaders.
Moral of the Story
If you want to do network marketing business, keep on trying, as there are 6-10% people who will do it and change their DESTINY.
