4) The Socialite.

There are many folks who join a company for what we at PassionFire call “The Peripherals of MLM”…What are they?

Folks who join to …

Belong to Something…To Feel Included in Something…To Make New Friends…To Make a Difference To Have Fun…To Have a Meaning for Life…To Become a Better Person…To Become a part of Something Bigger than Themselves…To Join a Cause or Crusade…

The List is numerous…but these folks can be a great thing for your MLM group, as they know other folks that possibly can be of help to your Home Business group…

They rarely will bring guests, so you must encourage them to introduce THEIR FRIENDS…to YOUR FRIENDS…and make the meeting a social place to meet people and when they show up with someone, you take the lead…

The Socialite can be valuable if you work with them right…but once they have proven to you to really not be interested in doing the business, only “Being At” the business…

Time to move on to more serious players, and coach the Socialite with work at home trainings, but only in groups with the other non-producers…

The Amazing Disappearing MLM Distributor.

5) The Amazing Disappearing Distributor.

This one cracks me up…someone who comes into the home business, gets all excited, tell you they are in it for the long haul, attend some meetings, and conference calls, and all the while, saying all they have going on…and then…

Where did they go???

They not only have dropped out of sight from any web forums, conference calls, or events…they have been sucked into the abyss in their house by the “MLM Monster of Mediocrity”…

They no longer answer your phone calls, they no longer return emails, voice mails, or any other communications….

And they are nowhere to be found…

But…When you eventually run into them (and you will)…they give you a dozen excuses why they had so much “Pressing Business matters” to attend to, that they had to “Temporarily” suspend their participation…

But WAIT!

 They’ll be back!~!

Time Waster.

INFERNO Secret:

Don’t even waste your time…tell them your business is going great, and if they need you, they know the number to call you…don’t hold your breath…

The ADD is simply looking for the Lottery in MLM, and when they didn’t find it…and discovered the dreaded thought…

“AAAGGHHHH!! This is WORK!!!”..

POOF!!! They become Invisible…God blessem…but move on….

Those are the 5 Types of Downline distributors you can have in your group…

The MLM Percentages.
INFERNO Secret:

The Socialite, The Talker, and the Amazing Disappearing Distributor will make up a large portion of you group…

Builders may be less than 10 %…and Retailers less than 30%…so what do you do?

Spend 90% of your time with the Time you have allocated for Leadership with the Builders, and Retailers…and work with some of each individually…and the others?

Spend the remaining 10% with your non producers in groups…maybe they know someone who will produce…there is always that chance…for your home based business.

Blessings…
