MLM Training is essential for your downlines because it’s important for them to understand what your company is all about and it should be a top priority for MLM companies even if there is a small number of downlines.

The MLM training usually start with an introduction of what the MLM Company is, the products or services that they sell, their marketing strategies or techniques, and how much commission or payment you can expect to receive.

Firstly, you must also give your downlines all the resources they need such as promotional materials, brochures, conference call sessions, follow up tips and ensure that they are aware of the different promos and updates on the company so they can offer the best suggestions to their customers. You should also consider introducing them to the persons above them so that these people can help them get to know more about the company and give them useful tips and hints on how to sell effectively.

Secondly, some tools can assist you greatly in MLM training. For example, telephones and teleseminars could give MLM downlines opportunities to share their knowledge with their members and also MLM members can make use of these networking sessions to offer the company’s products to potential prospects.

The technology today enables your members to connect to their customers effortlessly. Example are social networking sites like Yuwie and Facebook. Blogging is also a good way of keeping in touch with your team. Knowing this, you should utilize the tools or technologies that are available like giving those materials which could show them the advantages by joining your downline, video clips by the company CEO to make your company looks credible and many more.

In multilevel marketing (MLM), your income is based not only on your actual product sales, but by the number of downline individuals you have working under you. In theory, the more downlines you have, the greater your passive revenue stream.

But too often, you work to create a good second or third tier only to have the marketers walk away. Those aren’t just individuals quitting; you’re losing a valuable investment. It is by far in your best interest to solve any retention problem in your downline.

Broken Dreams
MLM isn’t for everyone. Some MLM businesses heavily hype their program to make it seem amazingly simple and assure recruits that they will see thousands overnight. When the dreams don’t come true, the charm is gone and the person quits. To avoid broken dreams, avoid selling them in the first place. Sell the business plan, not empty promises.

Missing Motivation
Individuals are recruited to join a MLM program. You get them signed up and turn them loose. And they quit. They didn’t join up to be turned loose. They want guidance, advice and motivation. If you’re selling the program, you need to continue selling it until your downlines are seeing their own success and can begin to motivate others.

Other Opportunities
Other opportunities might pull marketers away. If they aren’t successful fast enough with one program, another might be worth a try. Again, simply motivate and remind your downlines that there is a payoff, and share some tricks and tips to help them find success and stick with it.

Comparisons
If Sally is making ten times less than Bob, she might become disillusioned and quit. Rather than letting Sally stew about why Bob’s doing so much better than she is, help her find the reasons. Improve her techniques and possibly even mirror what works for Bob. She’ll be feeling worthy for comparison in no time.

Laziness
Unfortunately, some people are just lazy or unmotivated. While these people can make decent employees, they don’t always make the best independent workers. If you find your downlines are simply unwilling to do what it takes, consider targeting different kinds of individuals as downlines or treat your existing ones like employees. Give the lazy members of your team goals and reminders about what to do each week, and they might just do it.

Unstructured
A MLM program can feel unstructured to someone unused to working on their own time. A downline can quit if they feel they can’t make heads or tails of their time and efforts. To prevent this, offer your downlines a handbook or schedule to help them structure their time and efforts most effectively.

Bullied
If management for a MLM program is too strict or aggressive, you can lose downlines. Bullying is rarely effective for anything long term, so if your upstream is constantly putting pressure on your downstream or the program guidelines are too strict or limiting, your downlines might simply decide it’s not worth the effort.

Poor Program
Like all things there are good programs and poor ones. If you’re in a poor program that doesn’t offer enough incentives or makes things more complicated than necessary, your downlines are constantly at risk. Find a quality program that is comfortable and profitable before building a downline.

Reality Check
Sometimes downlines live in a dream of passive revenue for too long and then balk when they realize they are salespeople. If they don’t have the personality or skills for sales, they will not be successful. Sales can be an intimidating job for many, especially those without marketing or closing skills. Help your downlines learn to navigate the sales industry and you will all be successful

Here’s a great article that I read about MLM leadership by Shon Christopher. I am so inspired by his idea that we are going to incorporate it in Dream Team Formula! We will be developing an automated incentivise system so that every leader who is using DTF will be able to reward your downlines according to the level of effort they put in.

We all have been there in some point of our career; we think we’re providing the right network marketing leadership but our downline just isn’t cutting it. We expect to get people in our group and give them a little advice and send them off from there. That is when the inevitable truth becomes clear, you’re being a strong network marketing leader and your downline isn’t doing anything. However, before you start pointing fingers and giving up on your group you had better take a look at your so called “network marketing leadership.”

Before you start putting down your network marketing downline ask yourself a few questions first. Ask yourself what you may not be doing and how you can better yourself and your group. If you expect to build a downline and then have them do everything from there on you are WRONG. Read More
