Developing mastery in Network Marketing takes discipline and a lot of hard work. There are 5 categories in network marketing that you will need to develop mastery in to be successful. They are Personal Growth, Customer Acquisition, Recruiting, Team Building, and Leadership.

The traditional training style of classroom learning, seminars, books and CDs offered by the leadership of these companies provides good information, but does not equate to success for most people. The "how" is also very important, and interactivity in training helps you learn quicker and retain the information
It is tough to make an article interactive, however we will do our best here.

In this article we will focus on Personal Growth.
Above and beyond any skill you develop, your personal growth and commitment to ongoing education will enhance and solidify every new skill you develop and every habit you refine.

As you grow and develop as a person you become more influential and can therefore attract more high quality business builders to you. Personal growth does not always have to be a lot of hard work like many people might think. Every time you openly engage with different books and tools in the market place you will learn about yourself and others. The more you learn about yourself and other people, the more successful you will become.

Here are some interactive questions we have created for you.

Question 1

Which of the following is the most powerful way to accelerate your business

A prepare and organize
B take action
C read motivational books
D purchase new training tools

If you like the question, share it with anyone you know in the mlm, network marketing or direct sales business. This question was taken from the MLM training tool MLM The Game, think of the answer, re-read the question if you need to, and answer the question mentally.

The answer to the question is: B take action

Preparing and organizing will not get you anything in regards to acceleration. Reading books is good as well as purchasing new training tools, however the best thing you can do is take action. Concentrate on revenue producing activities to accelerate your business.

Question 2

Why is it good to have a mentor

A you can use them as leverage to build your business
B they are already successful, and can show you how to be successful
C a mentor can inspire you and help motivate you to succeed
D all of the above

If you like the question, share it with anyone you know in the mlm, network marketing or direct sales business. This question was taken from the MLM training tool MLM The Game, think of the answer, re-read the question if you need to, and answer the question mentally.

The answer to the question is: D all of the above

Having a mentor will catapult your success. The reasons mentioned above are some of the reasons why having a mentor will do so. Mentors have often been in your position before, and have learned from being there. That knowledge took them multiple years to obtain, and it will transfer to you without the headaches they likely has to experience.

Question 3

Courage is acting...

A in spite of fear
B when there is no other option
C foolishly under pressure
D to avoid looking bad

If you like the question, share it with anyone you know in the mlm, network marketing or direct sales business. This question was created by Clinton Swaine and placed into the MLM training tool MLM The Game, think of the answer, re-read the question if you need to, and answer the question mentally.

The answer to the question is: A in spite of fear

Courage is one of the most honorable character traits. Fear is not something that goes away easily, often times, it never goes away in its entirety. This is normal, feel the fear, and take action anyway, that is true courage. Keep going, and keep growing, because it takes a lot of courage to succeed in network marketing.

We encourage you to use question and game based learning for everything you do. Question based learning will engage more senses, and increase your retention of the information.

Whenever you read a book, magazine, or article, get creative and create your own questions.

This is fun, and it will permanently transfer the information to your brain. This is also a fun way to engage your team. For extra fun, you can give away prizes for correct answers when you send out e-mail blasts with your questions, and continue to learn together

Which of the following is the best way to remain motivated about your business

A wait until you feel ready to work
B keep yourself exposed to the vision of the leaders in your company
C read good books
D talk about how great it is going, even if it is not.

If you like the question, share it with anyone you know in the mlm, network marketing or direct sales business. This question was taken from MLM training tool MLM The Game, think of the answer, re-read the question if you need to, and answer the question mentally.

The answer to the question is: B keep yourself exposed to the vision of the leaders in your company

Keeping yourself exposed to the vision of the leaders in your company is the best answer because it teaches you how to create your own vision. Your leaders have likely practiced their vision statements, and your company most likely has it plastered all over their website. A lot of time, energy and money has gone into creating these visions, and there is a lot to learn from there.

Which response is the best to answer the following question

Is this a pyramid scam

A Yes, do you want to buy in
B I dont think so, they said it was not.
C What is a pyramid scam
D No, this is network marketing, are you familiar with the difference.

If you like the question, share it with anyone you know in the mlm, network marketing or direct sales business. This question was taken from the MLM training tool MLM The Game, think of the answer, re-read the question if you need to, and answer the question mentally.

The answer to the question is: D No, this is network marketing, are you familiar with the difference.
This question is obviously based on your involvement in a legal mlm opportunity. The first two answers are jokes to make you laugh. Asking them what a pyramid scam is not a bad response, but it is a naive way of reflecting the question. Most people do not know the difference between an illegal pyramid and a legal mlm or network marketing company, so stating that it is not, and asking them if they know the difference will educate them if they do not know. This is also predicated on you knowing the difference.

If you have been working in the network marketing industry for quite some time, you will probably have ideas on how to come up with an MLM system for maximum leverage and upline support.

There are some network marketing businesses that are only profit earning at the start but as time goes by, the earnings top. This is why you have to make sure that your network marketing business will earn not only from the start but for a continuous period of time. Mlm lead generation, effective mlm training system, mlm downline retention, etc. are also important factors that should be improved.

Here are two tips on how to build an mlm system for maximum leverage and upline support:

Work with at least three investment partners, much better if those partners would be your friends and colleagues.

You and your partners should have the commitment to learn about the network marketing industry, how to gain continuous profit, design your plan and then stick to the plan. If you and your investment partners all work together, eventually you will be successful. Make sure though that you all have the same vision and are all committed in building a strong network. All of you should also have knowledge on the mlm training system, mlm downline retention and other topics related to network marketing as these are the tools needed in being successful.

Examine and review programs whether MLM businesses or online affiliate networks.

Learn how they work and of course choose companies that offer products of good quality as well as a staff that has the experience in the network marketing industry. Sign up with your companies of choice and think of it this way: when one or two of those companies do not give you good profit, at least the other two or three will do.

I read recently a book from the rich dad’s advisors series from Blair Singer titled “The ABC’s of Building a Business Team That Wins”. An excellent read for those of you who want. But I don’t want to talk about the general concept of the book that revolves around building teams based on a code of honor that the members would have to hold. A code specific designed for the whole team.

I would rather want to talk about something else in the book that grab my attention, thoughts, and feelings. Though I was exposed to the concept, I want to talk about, before, it was really while reading this book that kicked something inside me. Like when you are reading something you heard or read many times before somewhere else, but this time you say “wow, yes, that makes sense” and it gets imprinted inside you.

Well, while I was reading, in a chapter of the book the writer talks about some evaluations companies run on their employees with the purpose to identify their strong and weak points, where they are good at and where they are facing weaknesses related to their work. Once they do that they point to their workers their weak points to work on them in order to improve their performance. (more…)

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. If you need free stuff to give away, check out the freebies here.

Lastly, MLM training doesn’t need to be complex and expensive to the company. Just teach them what you have learnt to become successful in MLM and see how beneficial it can be.

• 7 MLM Downlines Leadership Secrets (0)
• How To Retain Your Downlines? Profit Sharing Marketing Concept Explained (2)

If you are in the MLM business, you would have experienced this frustrating problem where you recruit one person and it seems that two others would leave. You probably have wondered why it is so difficult to get your MLM downline to stay active and increase your downline retention rate.

We focus all of our time and effort on the toughest parts of building the MLM business, which is recruiting new downline members. Yet we forget to take action on the easiest and most important part: following-up on our existing downline members.

Your goal for your MLM business should be to improve the downline retention in your team and to be a strong leader for your downline. Let’s take a look at three critical strategies which you can incorporate in your MLM training to make sure your downline stays active for years and not months.

Firstly, follow-up is following-through. Just because someone signs up in your MLM Company does not mean the sale is complete and you can forget about it the next day. You have to follow-up with your new downline member within five days. Make an effort to call them within five days to ensure they are happy, are happy with the product and they will appreciate it. If they want to build the business, make sure that the resources are available to them. Remember that helping them is equivalent to helping yourself. Besides phone calling, you can automate your followup process with weekly newsletter. This can be easily setup with an autoresponder program.

Secondly, you could keep a database on members in your MLM downline because as your business grows, it will become hard to keep all downline data and their individual needs in your head. You have to create customer information such as their goals, accomplishments or even something that is not related to your business. I assure you that they will be really surprised and impressed when you can still “remember” their personal information when you follow up. The Dream Team Formula back office offers you exactly that, you can add downlines to unlimited levels and email them through our hosted solution.

Lastly, you could develop a close relationship with your downline. Try to be genuine in your concern for your members and show them that you are their friend, not just in it to get their money. If you provide great value through concern for them as a friend and deliver high quality customer service, you will find your members working hard and staying active as long as you want.

If you want an active and profitable downline in your MLM business, remember in your heart that how much you can earn will be in direct proportion to your personal follow-up.

Do you have what it takes to become an MLM leader? MLM is a challenging business and requires lots of hard work. In order to build a profitable and steady downline you need to exhibit these leadership traits.

Determination – It is an important ability especially to MLM business. If you keep at something long enough, it is definitely bound to work out and eventually succeed. You can apply this to your MLM team by continuing to come up with creative ways together of staying on the top of the competitions even though the competitors are tough.

Positive Attitude – Keeping a positive attitude is the key to running a smooth and efficient MLM team. A good attitude can see you through the hard times and your team will be more motivated to work harder when they see a positive future which you can lead them to.

Vision – Every leader needs to have vision regardless of which business they are in. This vision allows you to see what many others may not be able to – success. Besides imparting his vision to others through sheer enthusiasm, a good leader will be able to get everyone to work towards the vision.

I’m a strong believer that anyone can be a successful leader by going through the appropriate training and experience. If you are weak in some areas, continue to work on these areas. Remember to cultivate an environment where you teach these traits to those who follow you and you will become a respectful leader.

The Dream Team Formula system is the perfect system to provide you instant credibility as an MLM leader. By putting yourself in the position to give away your personal referrals to your downlines (in 1 line vertical spill-over), you are proving yourself to your prospects and downlines that you are committed to help them succeed instead of earning quick bucks as a heavy hitter.

Before getting into any business one should do some ground work to understand the market, and the industry. In the case of a Multi Level Marketing (MLM) venture too, such background information must be gathered early. One should also understand that the concept of internet marketing is new and there are companies who have been in the game since before.

While starting out a MLM venture, the people involved need to be educated about how it operates, and money to be made by leveraging on their contacts. It is advisable for the main distributor from the company to let his agents create teams and be in charge of them. The sales consultant can be paid a commission based on how many more people he ropes in instead of just on sales done.
