7 Tips On Supporting Your Downline

Being in network marketing, it is extremely important that you grow a healthy downline. Not only are you building a relationship with your customers through sales, but you should build a healthy relationship with your sales team.

#1: GET PERSONAL

Your downline wants to know who they are working with. Send a monthly newsletter with sales tips, monthly numbers, top salesperson, etc. Offer a free forum or chat group to your team so everyone can share ideas and offer support to one another.

#2: BE AVAILABLE

Schedule time to speak with your team on a frequent basis. Constant contact will show them that you really care. This gives them a chance to share their concerns, ideas and allows them the opportunity to ask questions.

#3: TRAIN YOUR TEAM

Often leaders get so caught up in the numbers they forget they have a team to support. Ensure that you have steps in place for each new recruit to get the much needed training and direction they deserve by joining YOUR team.

#4: HOLD A CONTEST

Offer prizes or free services to new recruits. Offer special discounts or coupons to the team member who recruits the most new partners.

#5: WRITE ARTICLES

Article marketing provides an avenue for free web site traffic. Write five articles, linking to a web site where your products are sold, then submit them to various free article directories.

#6: EDUCATE YOUR TEAM

Provide your current sales team with powerful information about your business and products. By educating your sales team, you will create an aura of excitement. This excitement pushes your team to recruit their acquaintances into this wonderful opportunity for self-based employment.

#7: WALK THE TALK

As the leader, you can never go wrong when you stay true to your beliefs and expectations by practicing what you are preaching. You want your business and your teams to operate a certain way then make sure you are operating in that way.
