Things You Need to Know to Keep Your Downline Performing

Networking has been a popular business term lately. Almost every


person engaged in a business or looking for a job is building


his or her own network of people to help in this venture.





There are cases when you use your network to get some


information about the market you are trying to penetrate or to


test your product. If you are looking for a job, you ask for


information and tips from the people in your network. There are


times when you also ask these people to recommend you or your


product to other people in their network. This way, you maximize


the benefits of having a wide network of people.





When you are into sales, you may need to build or recruit a


network to do a function that is greater than that. These people


will be your downlines who will also engage in the same selling


and recruiting business as you do. They will also have to build


their network later on.





In this case, the performance of the people in your network is


of greater importance than that in the previous examples.


Usually, a big portion of your income depends on how your


network moves and performs.





Therefore, you need to try very hard to encourage people to try


your business. To persuade them, you will have to brief them on


the product, facilitate product presentations and sales


seminars, and give samples. You have to invest much time and


money to gain a number of people in your network.





However, once they agree to venture in the same business, you


shouldn't stop there. After investing your effort, time and


money, you have to encourage these people to perform and make


sales.





This is the usual problem with sales and networking. No matter


how many your recruits are, if they don't start working,


recruiting them is useless. They are people that may agree to


sign up because of the free registration and the products that


you are giving. After that, they're as idle as non-recruits.





Thus, you have to exert as much effort to keep your downlines


(and to make them function) as you have exerted when you are


trying to recruit them into your networking business.





To help you determine what you need to do, you have to analyze


the reason that your downlines aren't encouraged to sell the


product or to recruit people in their network. Outlined here are


the basic reasons that downlines give up easily and what you may


do to prevent it from happening.





* They don't have enough information about the product.





When you entice them into signing up as your downline, you


probably gave them product samples and briefed them on how the


product functions or what it can do. However, doing that isn't


enough to get their confidence in a product, no matter how much


they trust you.





Remember that these people may be using a different brand for


several years. Or perhaps, they don't feel the necessity to buy


the product, thus, they also don't think they should market it


to any of their friends. For either case, what you can do is to


emphasize the benefits of the product. Explain to them the


benefits in using the product, not just the products functions


and features. If necessary, highlight on what makes the product


superior over other popular brands on the market.





* They can't get a sale or a recruit after a few tries.





Not all sales attempts end up in sales. The same is true during


recruitment of downlines. You might need to explain this to your


downlines. There are also times, if they really have tried many


times, that they are using an incorrect strategy.





To help them on this, give them ideas on sales and recruitment.


If possible, set examples and help them in making their first


few sales or in getting downlines. Do be hesitant to give them


some of your prospective customers just help them learn sales


techniques. Remember that when they continue performing as your


downlines, their performance also increases your metrics.





* They can't see themselves growing.





These may be the people who are just making very few sales or


recruits every month. They feel that this business does not work


for them.





With these people, you can help them improve their sales and


recruitment techniques. You can also update them on the


performance levels that they should set as their goals. There


are also times that you need to check their metrics. They may be


close to getting to the next level but may just be lacking one


sale or one recruit. Lend your helping hand and help them get to


the next level. This way, they can see new opportunities ahead


of them.





Your downlines growth affects your growth as well; therefore,


make an effort to check how they are doing and to encourage them


to keep going. You may establish yourself as an example,


especially when you were still in their situation.
