How to Find the Perfect Downline for your MLM opportunity

How can you teach someone to be a business owner?

(Listen to audio here)

One of the things that I notice is that with all the opportunity flying around on the internet, with all the “Business Opportunities” on offer, there doesnt seem to be much being said to “prospective networkers” about what they must do to prepare themselves “before” they enter the industry. What lifestyle changes they must make and what new disciplines must they take on to make a real go of it..

And lets face it…, if you dont have the capacity to adopt a disciplined approach because its not in your character, then all the MLM “secrets” and the “trainings ” and “webinars” and “meetings” and “events” are really there for the people who are already in the system and not for the ones who are in the process of considering it…

If you look around at the Networking Industry and actually have a good hard logical look and not an emotionally charged look at it, all the positioning is being done to show the opportunity as being the selling point. Why is that.?? Obviously if it wasnt such a great opportunity then people wouldnt be attracted to it.

If you have spent money to get into it its unlikely that you are going to tell people that it is not a good opportunity..are you??? That would be the same thing as closing the doors on your business.

Would it?? Maybe not… depending on who you are saying it to..

Sorry But This Opportunity Is just Not For You….

How would it feel to be able to say that to a prospect and why would you say that to a prospect…?

Well here’s why… Because you have filtered them out and they just dont meet the criteria of people you are looking for…even before they sign the application.

Now this scenario is unheard of in 99% of Networking Opportunities because every bit of effort is spent getting people signed up and into the system just as fast as you can say “welcome to the team” but imagine how sustainable your business growth would be if you were bringing just the right kind of person into your business. Someone who knew how to run a business and he was passionate about running it. What amazing downline you would have.

What would a prospect need to have to be a perfect member of your team..?? Here’s 5 criteria for you to consider..

1. A reason to go into business for themselves. Without an emotional driver a prospect will not be able to sustain the committment required to go the hard yards

2. A disciplined approach to goal setting. Take a look at how they run their lives. Are they already successful or do they lack the skills to be successful at anything..Its a hard call but how much time will you have to spend just helping them set goals and getting organised.

3. Are they Coachable enough to learn your system inside and out..Why the MLM industry is littered with failures is because it lacks networking professionals. People who know how to make it a career.

4. Do they spend time developing their mindset. Without personal growth there will be no business growth

5. Are they the kind of people you would like to go into business with or become friends with.

These are 5 items that I would suggest you consider when you are looking for downline for your business. Putting time into downline who just have not got what it takes can be the straw that broke the camels back. Your business would be far healthier if you said no more often than you said yes..

The 6th item for you to consider is how do you prospect for these kind of people. The internet is becoming a huge ally of the modern day MLM’r but that still provides you with many prospects who should be filtered out unless they are serious enough to invest money in the process of looking for an opportunity.

The newest systems online are using strategies called GPT. That’s Get Paid Today. It means that a prospect pays money to be introduced to an opportunity. That makes him serious, it puts money in your pocket to continue the fight and it allows a systemised approach to building a business take over that is easy to duplicate.

I invite you to take a look at this site as an example of a systemised approach to finding serious, committed and disciplined prospects. Go to Turnkeymoneyonline.com and see how a professional and duplicatable system actually does all the filtering for you.. And the money arrives straightaway rather than you having to wait to develop a downline. Now how good is that..

Good luck in your business and have a great year.
