Carrie Keylon asks: How do i best lead my downline? I’m not even sure how to ask this one as I’ve never had a strong up line to lean on
----
----
Great question… lets dive in
Never had a strong upline to lean on
- Not uncommon
- Search for someone in your upline doing it right
- Find mentors outside of your business
- Success leaves clues so I will follow big nwm’s i love and follow their people to see what they are training them to do
How do I best lead my downline
- Consistency
- Lead from the front (don’t push from the back)
- Build connection & friendship
- cheerleader
REJECTION
Initial NO’s from people Too expensive Not enough time Not hard no -- just NOT RIGHT NOW
People you know/knew joining other people/opp
the people you are meant to work with will join your organization being proactive in connecting with your warm market is important
4th quarter slump
Days after purchase -- buyers remorse
1 year -- majority quit
Ups and downs from then on
Marathon, not a sprint
Settle in
Able to earn as you learn
- If i didn’t have a team or prospects i treat self-development as an income producing activity
- Don’t get stuck in books -- STILL TAKE ACTION
Avoid Burnout -- relying too much on hype
- Long run will hurt you
Messy action
ACTION
Messy
- In the beginning you don’t know a lot
- Frozen waiting for perfection
- Stumble your way through
Perfection will never come
NO FAKE IT UNTIL YOU MAKE IT
Be real, be your authentic self
How to choose a nwm company that fits you
I hope to share with you what I’ve learned over the last 8 years & what the most important factors are for choosing a network marketing company to partner with.
These are the top 3 things you should be evaluating when choosing a network marketing company
1. THE PRODUCT
- Do you love the product?
- If you don’t absolutely love the product and want to use it yourself don’t waste your time
- “BE A PRODUCT OF THE PRODUCT”
- My first company: PRODUCT OF THE PRODUCT
- My 2nd company: in love with HEARING ABOUT THE PRODUCT
- Not my personal results
- Caused me to suffer down the road because I didnt have hype to stand on anymore
2. THE LEADERS
- This is something I didn’t really consider much when signing up to either company
- I lucked out with the first company
- They had a proven system that was creating company millionaires
- I worked that company for 4 years & struggled financially
- So when the hype train came to town I jumped right on — once again not considering to look at the leaders
- Hairdresser gave me first red flag
*CONSIDER WHEN CHOOSING LEADERS***
- Professionalism
- Are they inclusive or divisive?
- What tools do they provide?
- Weekly training, vibrant ways to share the opportunity that makes sense and is not confusing
3. THE COMPENSATION PLAN
- Does it seem fair pay?
- Are there certain qualifications to get paid?
- Are those realistic qualifications?
- Do I get paid on all my customers?
- What is the monthly requirement to stay active & earn commissions?
- Been in 3 different comp plans they all had their pros and cons — the first company seemed to be the worst to me
- All comp plans have their Quirck’s
- For me, when deciding to switch the comp plan had to be at least equal to what I was getting in my previous company
- & better for my team members
- First company Quirck- didn’t pay on all pack/system purchases
- 2nd company Quirck- had to qualify to make money on residuals
- 3rd company solution — solved both of those issues for me
If you’re out there looking for a side gig to partner with I hope you can learn from my mistakes and make a sound decision for yourself
If you have anymore questions that I maybe didn’t answer on here feel free to shoot me a message as I am here to help!
Have an amazing day, we’ll chat soon byee

The network marketing industry gets a lot of CRAP! I, for one, have had nothing but good experiences. Yes, it is hard at times, actually VERY DIFFICULT. But all the blood, sweat and tears are worth it because of the beauty this industry provides. (especially for moms like me)
I would never get to experience the life I do if I had stayed in a 9-5.
Motherhood is hard. Being a stay at home mom is hard. It's true that many moms have to sacrifice their careers to raise their children but on this episode Beth and I discuss how it's never too late to pursue your dreams. It's never too late to take care of yourself and it's never been a better time to create an online income to help with the bills, pay off debt, or just have some extra cash on hand.
Welcome to The Upline Speaks Podcast, I am your host Deanna Christal. I wanted to create a podcast to give leaders in the network marketing industry a voice. I have created this for me, for my team and for you to hear how other Leaders (what we like to call Uplines) are doing to create success within their organizations & brand. My hope is to help equip you with the tools to become the professional network marketer you always wanted to be.
