“Boy Did This Wake Me UP!-Sure it Sounded Just Like My Crew Alright”

A friend of mine Big Al sent me this the other dayand yeah it Shocked me!

Is this what your downline is upto?

Some distributors spend hours and hours online in social networks and forums sending emails to each other, pitching their opportunities, creating "conditional" friendships, and spend their prospecting time secluded with their keyboard.

They believe if they write the perfect email, someone will join their business. But what if someone writes a better email? Now their distributor is gone.

Or maybe someone will join their beautiful site. But what happens when their new distributor finds another beautiful site that also has Flash?

If you are frustrated with your downline lacking focus, playing pen pal with other freebie-seeking prospects, what are you going to do about it?

Well, before I answer that, I am not against online marketing and online prospecting. It's just that there is a lot of competition in social networks and forums.

And for many professional networkers, online prospecting is the perfect thing to do late at night when they can't call or visit prospects. There are "live" prospects online
24 hours a day. So yes, there is a place for online prospecting.

But back to our problem.

If your distributors are trading emails with people who say, "I'll look at your program if you look at my program,"  
or if their prospects are saying: "I think this will complement the other 34 affiliate programs I have," well, they won't be building a strong downline anytime soon.

So how do you get your downline to focus on something more solid? Something more long-term?

There are several ways. For instance, maybe you could educate them that the first thing you should do when you get a prospect online, is to communicate with them offline.
This definitely sets you apart from the other digital relationships.

Or better yet, teach your downline great marketing strategies so they attract focused prospects instead of prospects addicted to online chatter. Show them ways of attracting and educating the right kind of prospects.

Or, teach your downline how to market and prospect in the real world. Now they have a great offline business, and when they make contact with someone online, they will be more confident because of their offline success.

Playing pen pal with bored, unfocused prospects may be fun, but not profitable. And with the time wasted trading emails, your downline will feel they are building a business because they are busy.

Yes, the downline feels they are working. They feel that they are doing lots of activity. They are spending hours "building" their business, but not really.

They may be simply doing a safe activity that they like.

And that's robbing them of the opportunity to build a business and a huge bonus check.
