Build A Monster Downline With These 5 Network Marketing Success Tips

Generic MLM training is something that isn't in short supply in most network marketing companies, but the challenge most networkers face is that the training methods taught to new distributors haven't really evolved over the past 60 years. Write down your 100 top friends and business contacts, invite them to a hotel/home/phone presentation, sign up the interested people, repeat.

You know what, that strategy worked great for the first 50 years (and still can for people who carry a lot of influence), but as people change and technology evolves you have to accept different ways to build your team in the new Social Media-oriented culture.

When I got my first dose of MLM training about 10 years ago, I was told to just do what the successful people did and then I'd be successful too. As a broad concept it makes sense but, in my opinion, it's not entirely realistic. For example, take a business visionary like Andrew Carnegie or Henry Ford. If they were around today, they'd have to build their empires differently than they did in in their times, because people and their needs are constantly changing and evolving.

Your business is no exception.

These days, there are different laws, and people communicate and build relationships through technology more than ever. Here I'm going to share with you 5 network marketing success tips that will help you make an MLM training guideline for you and your downline which will help you to reach the top levels of your company.

1. Locate a mentor who is getting results right now. It's great to have a sponsor who built a massive team 20 years ago since they could still give you some good tips on closing your prospects or how to motivate a large organization. That's a good thing to have, but could they still build a massive downline if they had to start from scratch today? My guess is not in this lifetime, because you can't expect to put together a monster team by finding only 20-30 personally-sponsored distributors anymore. Does that make sense?

2. Learn how to leverage yourself through the power of technology. Which one would you choose: wandering around Barnes and Noble to talk to a a couple people, or sharing your business with a thousand people per week who are actively searching for someone like you to work with, all on autopilot?

3. Learn how to generate large numbers of leads with sites like Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook. There are people who are creating an absolute dynasty for themselves by learning how to properly use these social networks to build their businesses, and they're getting results in 1-2 years that used to take 4-5 years.

4. Accept that you need larger numbers to create sufficient leverage. As I mentioned, there was a time when you could build a monster downline by personally recruiting only 30-40 people, but that's not the case anymore. Since it's no longer a new concept, the good news is it's easier to sponsor new distributors today than it has ever been before. By using technology, it's entirely possible to personally recruit more distributors in a year than previous business leaders used to do in 5 years.

5. Build your business for as long as it takes. I know you've heard that the only way to fail in this industry (or anything for that matter) is to give up. Yes, it's a cliche' but that's because it's true! When you find the right training through a good mentor and stick to building your business no matter what, network marketing has an exciting success rate. Make a commitment today that you'll do whatever it takes, no matter how difficult it may seem at first, to be a success in your business. I believe in you!
