Okay, you have a brand new business and you’re very excited. You know it’s a great opportunity because you thoroughly checked it out. You have some knowledge of how network marketing works and you have a great system in place to help those who join you build their business which in reality is also building your business.

So what’s next?

It’s time to build your team. But do you want just anyone who is willing to sign up? No. It’s understandable that you are very eager to build your team but there is a very good reason that I said no.

You want people to join and refer others to your business because they know and trust you. You want them to join because they believe in the opportunity and really want to be successful like you want to be successful.

If they only joined because of all the hype you were feeding them about the earnings, you will not retain them. It can be very disappointed to earn nothing month after month.

Even if it is a lucrative opportunity it must provide a way for part timers to earn.

Many people only work their home based business part time. Some have jobs, children or other situations that prevent them from working from home full time so the opportunity has to be worth their while.

You will not retain a downline for very long if it is too hard for them to earn.

If they need to wear red and blue on the third Tuesday of the month as long as there is a full moon while spinning in a circle to earn, how many do you think will stay? How many will be able to refer others and show them how to duplicate that? Not many.

You provide them with a good opportunity, honest assessment of

the compensation plan, support and a system that they can

duplicate and they have a better chance of growing their business

and teaching the same to their downline.

You want people with a similar mindset joining your business opportunity. Not just anyone you can talk into joining. You will only learn their mindset if you get to know them interact with and observe them.

What do see when you observe them? Do they flutter from business to business, never working any of them past a couple of weeks and then on to the next trend once they have a few recruits because they are on to the next hottest thing.

What do you think will happen is they decide on a whim to join yours?

You don’t want to sponsor just anyone into your business. It takes more than having the ability to afford to get into your network marketing company to make a good business partner.

When you add someone to your team you are working towards a common goal..SUCCESS. Their success is your success. You want to bring those to your team who are willing to learn and become an asset to your team and in turn do for others what you are doing for them.

Be selective or it will never work! If you had a leaky faucet would you let anyone standing outside with a wrench come in and fix it.

Of course not. An untrained person could take a minor situation and turn it into something major that could really cost you.

If your tooth needed extracting would anyone with a pair of pliers and some pain killers do? Sure they could technically extract your tooth but how much would it hurt? Pretty bad I think.

Making choices regarding your business is no different from any other choices you have to make in life. You have to make wise decisions. If you don’t it could hurt and cost you.. big time.

Sure you may get plenty of referrals if you choose not to be selective, especially if you have a reputation of being helpful or a hard worker, but more likely than not they will be lazy, untrained, unmotivated and waiting for you to do it all for them.

Your business will be like a revolving door, people walking in one side and right out the other.

Keep in mind that those are also the same type of people who will be blaming you when they fail at the business opportunity that they never put any work into.

You cannot, nor should you build a business for someone else. When someone join your team they should be an asset not someone waiting for you to hand them all their referrals or downline. If you are going to do 100% of the work then you don’t need a middle man for that.

Being selective and choosing like minded caring people who will in turn do the same will build a better and stronger business for all of you. You will know that they are properly trained and have the right mindset for doing the same.

To Your Success,
