By Downline on March 15, 2007

Buliding and Maintaining a downline is a difficult task and is a big part of any MLM or Network Marketing business. I uses the following techniques to effectively manage my downline:

1. Ask questions - guide your downline to the answer for their questions by asking the right questions

2. Find each individuals strengths - find the strengths in each member of your downline and help them build their business utilizing there strengths.

3. Lead, dont pressure - lleading is about ,successfully working the business so that your downline members will want to follow you on their own accord. Don’t add pressure.

4. Manage your time - view yourself as a businessperson, and keep each conversation on task.

5. Consistency is the key to success - create a list of simple business building tasks, and your members to keep a log of the tasks completed each day. Teach them that success depends on how many of these tasks they commit to completing on a consistent daily basis.

6. Maintain communication - send team updates or newsletters via email to your downline at least every two weeks. Recognize achievements as much as possible.

7. Know when to move on - you cant make anyone work. You can lead, but if one of your downline wont follow - it might be a better use of your time to find a more self-motivated person.
