As an MLM Leader, you will find when you start building you MLM group, you will have forming in your group a melting pot of different people that will help create the Vision as a leader you share with them.

And that is a great thing, as a varied group can be very fun to work with…and frustrating.It all falls on the MLM Leader many times as far as getting things done for the group, and you must go beyond people and Time management…

The Secret of MLM Empowerment.

INFERNO Secret:

You must practice “MLM Empowerment Management” with your network marketing group… to make sure you maximize the Power in your group, and to maximize you ability to lead them.

What is “MLM Empowerment Management?”

It is understanding WHO you can Empower…and who you cannot…It’s understanding WHY you can Empower one group, but it’s a waste of time for another…

And most importantly, it’s knowing HOW to Empower your Direct Sales leaders that are building their groups strong….

What are the 5 types of Downline distributors?

After nearly 12 years of being a part of, and studying relentlessly this business, we have found there are basically 5 types of folks you will find in your group….

1. The MLM Builder.

2. The MLM Retailer.

3. The MLM Talker.

4. The MLM Socialite.

5. The Amazing Disappearing Distributor…(A.D.D.)

Let’s cover these and how to Empower each….

The 5 Types of MLM Distributors.

1) The Builder.

This is your MLM Leader in training…your people who “See It”, and are on a one way track to Success…

They don’t realize they aren’t supposed to succeed because few others do, and they go out and build a great business…while others watch them do it…in amazement.

INFERNO Secret:

Spend 70% of your time you allocate to leadership (working with your group) with these folks…this is one of 2 places where your GOLD lies in your group…and you want to make sure they move at the pace they want to lest they get bored…

The Builder is a great person to work with, but some of them want to be left alone…

If that’s the case…let the Stallion run, and try to be there for them once you have trained and solidified their knowledge of this business and your particular company…

Encourage them constantly…and always release “PowerFire” in their business…

How do you do that?

You will learn that next week….

2) The Retailer.

This is your home business Insurance for a residual base…and thank God for the Retailer…as they are the ones who can grow up and be Superstars if believed in…

INFERNO Secret::

You spend 70% of your time with the Builder, you spend 20% of your time with the retailer…edifying, celebrating, and challenging them to greater heights…

Aand let them help out with a conference call or meeting…make a BIG deal about the great Sales job they are doing…and what an Inspiration they are to the rest of the group…

Always with the Retailer keep checking with them for possible distributors they might have with their customer base. Offer to call the really GOOD ones as a GIFT (CLUE!!!!) for them because they deserve it, and you want to make sure that potential superstars are not getting away…

Have a retailer of the Quarter…and every 90 days recognize the folks who are out everyday selling…

This is the second place you will find GOLD in your downline…give me 10 retailers over one flash in the pan anyday…

The Challenge of Talking Too Much in MLM.

3) The Talker.

This is the person who always either talks about what they are GOING to DO …or making excuses and whining about what isn’t working…

INFERNO Secret:

Most talkers are great folks, and usually well meaning. Their best asset for your business are the people they know and who you can help contact with the talker, or at least contact yourself to make sure you don’t lose a potential superstar. Spend the rest of your time left…10%…with the rest of this list.

The Talker will rarely do much, and can become over time very negative…this is when you must cut the cord, and suggest maybe this business isn’t for them, or they need to focus more on personal growth first…(CLUE!!!)

Talkers can be a great asset as far as motivating your folks, and they love to be in the spotlight…

The MLM Spotlight.

INFERNO Secret:

Put those who DESERVE to be in the MLM spotlight…in the spotlight…That is who has the MOST IMPACT on your new folks. for your home based business.

Blessings…
