The people who choose to sign-up under you may seem like they are a really good fit and stick to the business for a couple of months. However, after several months, you may notice some of them beginning to drop off. They may stop purchasing products or quit all together. You may reach out to them to try and help but they don't respond to you. Basically, it's like they just fall off the face of the planet.
High turn-over rates aren't uncommon in the network marketing industry. I have even experienced people in my downline who aren't very active and stop all together. What can you do when this happens? Here are a few ideas I've come up with.
Help Your Downline Make Money
Most people get into this business to make money. We all like instant gratification. When sales don't come right away, it's easy for a new marketer to give up. However, when they see that first paycheck, regardless of its size, it's motivating. They will get a boost in confidence and know that they can accomplish even more. You can help your downline by teaching them how you make sales. Of course, this will only work if the people you sponsor are willing to listen and take action.
Put New Distributors in Your Current Distributors Downline
Another way to motivate your current downline is by placing new people who are interested in starting their own business in your current distributor's downline. This is a huge plus for them as well as for you. Their business begins to grow and your network expands. It's a win-win.
If All Else Fails, Keep Making Sales
If none of the above works out and your downline still quits, it's time to focus on sales. By selling you continue to earn income and you can step back and figure out how you can change your current strategies. Something is causing your downline to give up. You can ask them what it is that made them quit. Take that information and improve upon how you currently attract new marketers.
Don't become too discouraged if your downline begins to leave the business. It is bound to happen. People leave for all types of reasons. It's best not to take it personal. Just work on implementing new strategies and learning what works best for you. Persistence is key in this industry.
