When Your Upline Leaves You
Network Marketing is a very rewarding industry for those who take it seriously. It is especially wonderful if you are fortunate enought to find an excellent product line with a stable company. Maximizing your financial rewards through the compensation plan can certainly be achieved if you take time to really understand your income opportunity - and especially the risidual benefits.
With any business endeavor, you should take the time to develop and establish a business plan which includes your marketing strategy.There was obviously something there that interested you enough to get involved, so you wil have some insight into a few of the specific elements of your opportunity. The “hook” that brought you in, is probably a key interest for you - so you will likely utilize that interest in your own recruiting efforts.
Key Point: take time to establish a serious business plan which will include your marketing strategy and perhaps your financial goals.
Unfortunately, most people who get involved with a Network Marketing opportunity do not really take their business seriously.Perhays they join because of some slick sales-pitch by a Distributor, or maybe they just really like the product. Many people get involved because they want (and perhaps need) to believe - this is the opportunity that will bring them financial freedom.
Certainly, there are great rewards in building a strong Network Marketing downline.But it does take effort, and should always be treated as a serious business - your business.
Too many good people have been hurt because they jumped-into an opportunity without assuming they had a role to play in the success.They have been hyped to believe nothing is required to build their income.Many of the problems in the industry come from sponsors who recruit rookie networkers using hype and lies.
I have been a top Sponsor in the industry, and have also been a Network Marketing Company Corporate Vice President.In my years of leadership in the industry, I have seen some pretty unethical sponsor tactics.I have also seen many dreams destroyed, because people joined with the wrong expectations and motives.
The advice I would give anyone who is looking to join a Network Marketing opportunity is - do not depend on your sponsor for your success. It is inevitable that your sponsor will fail you, or will go “AWOL” and never contact you again. If you rely on them for your financial reward - you will be terribly disappointed.
Bottom Line: Do Not expect of depend on your sponsor for your success
If you want to succeed in your Network Marketing opportunity, decide that you will succeed on your own - regardless of what your upline may do.Of course, you may want to use the resources they provide, but don’t get complacent about using your own marketing ideas. Use as many resources as you can - but never become solely dependent on any one system or tool to succeed.And make the decision not to NEVER give up when your sponsor goes AWOL… Just consider it part of the drill.
