Building Deep Downlines in Direct Sales
Although each compensation plan is different in direct sales, they all allow at least a couple of levels of depth. This means you can sponsor someone directly underneath you and then they can sponsor someone directly underneath them with you receiving bonus payment on both levels.
When you invest the time helping those you sponsor to sponsor others, your team becomes stronger. Your first level distributors have more reason to work on their business as they now have a team to work with. I won’t bore you with the “get two who get two” nonsense, but I will say that when your own downline has a downline of their own, the whole team is stronger overall.
I even suggest that if you have someone working hard and recruiting regularly that you share your own leads with them. In network marketing, you’ll achieve the most success when you help others to succeed. Part of succeeding is having a team.
As you build your team and help those in your first level build a team, you’ll want to keep track of who has joined your team.
It is vital that you establish and maintain relationships with those not directly underneath you.
You want those relationships for many reasons. First of all, you want to make sure that the new team member has multiple people they can go to for help and questions. Their sponsor might be temporarily unavailable or might not have an answer to a question. You want the new team member to know how to reach you and how to get support from you.
Sometimes people quit. People quit for a variety of reasons. If someone on your team should quit, you want those who were downline from the person who quit knowing that they have you and your upline for support and help.
As your team grows, make sure that everyone knows who you are and how to reach you regardless of what level they are.
