Why Downline Do Not Perform

  Upline in network marketing put a lot of pressure on downline to perform, especially when someone stops producing or begins to give excuses. Because a person seems uncommitted or confused about what he or she really wants, an upline will often drop working with him or her all together because it isn’t worth the time. It’s just “The Nature of the Beast” for most Network Marketers. It’s a sad story, but one I hear over and over again.

The problem here is that many upline do not take the time to understand why people quit producing. In fact, they view excuses as non-committal or lazy. Let’s talk about why someone may stop producing in a Network Marketing business.

• They do not have the same work ethics as their upline.
• They do not have a reason to do the work. In other words, they have no “WOW”.
• They need more personal time to work on their fears with an upline who understands them.
• They see holes in the plan or they do not understand the plan well enough.
• They have heard negativity from family and friends.
• They have big egos and think success should happen quickly, and so they won’t wait for it. 
• They focus on their sales skills instead of what their prospects want and help them at that level.
• They make mistakes so they are too embarrassed to go forward.
• They do not believe they can be successful.
• Lack of money to support their businesses, limiting their ability to work the business effectively.
• They have run out of names on their list.
• They lose the vision of why they started the business in the first place.
• They won’t accept trainning and try to go off on their own. They learn just enough to be dangerous.

Do any of these reasons sound familiar to you? If so, you need to discuss it with your upline. Tell your sponsor how you feel and ask for help. Upline cannot help you if they do not know your problem.

Another issue might be that you do not trust your sponsor to teach you what you need to know. You look upline for someone you feel comfortable to work with and deal with your problems.

I do not suggest you bypass your sponsor when you think you are too important to work with him or her. You may be tempted to do so becauuse you like the success you see higher upline and think it better to work with them. Keep in mind that the people you want to work with upline instead of your sponsor did not bring the opportunity to you. The one who thought of you deserves your respect, which means that the sponsor needs to be included in any meetings you have with his or her upline. Any upline that’s worth taking advice from will understand this principle and support it.

If you cannot find answers you want from your upline, feel free to contact me with your questions. Please do not contact me until you have tried to work out things with your upline. Let them help you.

Where The Rubber Meets The Road

 

 THE SECRET TO SUCCESS IS KNOWING WHEN OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS
AND THEN OPENING THE DOOR TO IT.

UNTILL YOU OPEN THAT DOOR, NOTHING IS GOING TO CHANGE FOR YOU. 

YOU WILL BE WHERE YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN AND GET WHAT YOU’VE ALWAYS GOTTEN!

IS THAT ENOUGH FOR YOU?

Okay, let’s get serious about this now. You want to be successful with your business but that means you need to be on the Internet. Nevertheless, you have no idea how to go about it or you figure it will cost too much to get set up.

Here is where the rubber meets the road my friend. Perhaps it’s time for you to make decisions that you have not been willing to make up to now.

Either you haven’t asked yourself the right questions in order to make the decisions you need to make or, for one reason or another, you are not ready to make a commitment to do it .

 

You have a desire to succeed but you are not in the right position yet. Let me point out a few reasons why you are having problems and see if any of them fit your circumstances.

 

* You need to quit talking about succeeding and just do it!

* You need to quit complaining about not succeeding, about why you can’t do it, and get things resolved now so you can!

* You need to make a decision about working with the right people, perhaps you will see me as the right person, and let that person or persons help you.

* You need to get the ball rolling now, even if you think you’re not ready yet. I can help you with that, and you won’t feel overwhelmed.

 

 

IT’S TIME RIGHT NOW TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT YOUR FUTURE.

I’m and ready to help you where I can, so let me.

Do you have a mentor or someone you respect that you can be accountable to?

Remember that you would not ask a banker for advice on farming any more than you would ask for advice from a person who doesn’t know the first thing about being successful. 

You want to take advice from someone who has been around successful people and has the mentality for success. That person may not yet have the level of success that you want but does know how to apply success principles.

Find a person who understands your vision and supports your efforts without criticism or stomping on your dreams. That person needs to help you keep your feet to the fire and tell you when you screw up. You want that person to tell you the truth, even if it’s something you don’t want to hear but you know it’s true.  A person like this is NOT easy to find, but when you do you need to rely on their wisdom.

My brother and I have that type of relationship. Most of the time I mentor him, but there are times when he tells me things I don’t want to hear that I need to hear. We make a good tag team for each other. You need someone to be a tag team member for you too. If you don’t have someone, let me help you. I am really good at listening and telling you the truth. I know how to be successful and I have years of experience rubbing shoulders with the most successful people in the Network Marketing world of business.

If you are ready to do something positive right now that gives you a jump start, let me give you a homework assignment. You need to read and ponder on the following books:

How To Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie
