Common Mistakes When Training Your Network Marketing Team
Step by Step Approach to Training Your MLM Team
How do you know if you’re training your network marketing team member the right way?
Here is how you do it.
Step 1: You Give Them a Task
You tell your distributor to take some action and do something
For i.e. make a list of 20 prospects
2 Possible Scenarios
Afterwards 2 things can happen:
Scenario 1: Downline Does It
If they do the task, then you give them the next step or something harder.
In the above example, you would give them a script and have them send it to the 20 prospects
Scenario 2: Downline Does NOT DO It
The downline didn’t do what you ask them and there are only 2 reasons for this
Reason 1: They’re lazy and don’t want it
Reason 2: They lack training (they don’t feel they have the skills or the mindset)
Reason 2 is usually the common reason why people don’t do what you asked them to
Their lack of mindset create fears and overwhelm or they feel they don’t know what to do and this paralyzes them
If this happens,
it’s pointless to give them the same task!
What you have to do is give them something EASIER to do
For example,
The new task can be to simply go over a training that teaches them how to invite
or have them go listen to a network marketing podcast or go over something motivational to encourage them.
Whatever you do, the new task has to be EASIER than the previous one.
It can’t be the same one because they won’t do it.
Step 2: Give Them a Second Task
2 things can happen again
Scenario 1: Downline Does It
If they do it, then you give them the next step or give them more of what you just gave them (reach out to another 25 people)
Scenario 2: Downlines Still DOES NOT Do It
The reasons are the same.
They’re either lazy and don’t want it or it’s because of lack of skill and confidence
You repeat Step 2 with an even easier task
Who to Work With
As long as the team member shows initiative and desire then you keep working with them
If you feel they’re just giving excuses after 3 times then you stop working with them 1 on 1 and just send them to the group trainings.
The ones who are lazy and make excuses always quit regardless of how much time you spent on them
Remember to work with those that DESERVE your time
Feeling the Pressure When You Train Your MLM Team
If a MLM team member feels pressured, it’s because:
1) They don’t really want it
If this is the case, then you just let them be where they’re at
Don’t make the common mistake and push them so hard that they’ll quit
2 ) They want it but they have fears and limiting beliefs
They need more mindset and network marketing training
As they grow their minds and improve their skills
they’ll be able to handle the tasks and won’t feel the pressure
Recap: How to Train Your Network Marketing Team
Give them simple task and see if they do it.
Never have them do the same task if they failed to do the first one. Give them something easier
If you take this simple step by step approach you’ll be able to train your network marketing team better and develop leaders quicker.
