How to be a good MLM sponsor to your downline

Copyright (c) 2008 Colin Meunier

While many people actively involved in MLM's see the attraction of new prospects as a major point to focus on, taking good care of your downline is also as important as looking for new sign-ups. The good thing about MLM's is that if either you or your downline gets people signed, you stand to be advantaged under both cases. You most times would even stand to gain more from having your own downline recruit their own downlines as many MLM programs would give you a higher commission when this happens.

Being a good sponsor to your downline is very important and this article teaches you why and how.

A first important thing to note here is that if you have let's say 10 people as downlines. Instead of looking for anymore prospects, keeping your downline active is bound to give you more prospects than if you do the work of attracting them all by yourself. The math speaks for itself; if one person is able to bring in a new prospect everyday, that's ten prospects for you per day compared to the one prospect you get if you have a non-functional downline and have to get the prospects yourself.

Being a good sponsor should not be as hard as it may sound to you. It only requires a little knowledge on the right things to do and once you have those in place, you can count yourself very lucky. The MLM industry is quite competitive at the same time boring for start-ups. One way or another, people you get signed will either drop out of the program or not be as actively involved as you'll want them.

Let's look at a couple ways which when effectively implemented are sure to keep your downlines active.

Keep your downlines constantly informed

Keeping your downlines active is an important step to becoming a good sponsor. Keeping your downlines constantly informed should not take more than a couple calls or emails per week. In these emails or phone calls you make, let your downlines know you have their interest at heart. As an upline, you have much more work to do but be sure your rewards would be worth it. You can always go through free yet useful information on the internet and post this information to your downline. Some of the things you send should include: teaching your downlines on latest leads and informing them on how to take care of their own downlines. Taking care of your downline without teaching how to do the same to their downlines would be an incomplete job on your part.

There are a couple other ways to being a good sponsor but none is at effective and important as keeping your downlines constantly informed. Doing this ensures they know that you have their interest at hear. This boosts the confidence of your downline and makes them gingered enough to go out there and look for more prospects.
