What to do When Your Upline Quits
Network Marketing is a very rewarding industry.It can be even more rewarding 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.
As with any business endeavor, you should take the time to develop and establish an effective business plan and marketing strategy.You will obviously have some key insight into a few of the specific elements of your opportunity, because there was something there that interested you enough to get involved.The “hook” that brought you in, is most likely a key interest for you – so you will likely utilize that interest in your own recruiting efforts.
Key Point: take time to establish your 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.They join mainly because they were given a slick pitch by their sponsor, or perhaps 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 many great rewards in developing a strong Network Marketing sales organization.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 Network Marketing industry come from unethical sponsors who recruit new prospects using hype and lies.
I have been a top income-earner 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.Based on industry norms, it is inevitable that your sponsor will fail you and perhaps never contact you again. If you rely on them for your financial reward – you will be terribly disappointed.
Bottom Line: Never 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. You certainly may utilize tools they provide, but do not allow those tools to prohibit your own creative marketing ideas.Use as many resources and systems as you can – but never become solely dependent on any one tool for your succees. And above all, do not give up when your sponsor goes AWOL… Just consider it part of the journey.
