In all direct sales Companies there is turn over regardless of the industry Leigh Ann, so no different in your case. If the turn over is "high" then the moral is low and lets face it, insurance sales is tough in any category, so that makes it that much tougher.

I know from first hand experience with Zurvita health and then they moved to another "me too" supplement pushing Co, so I moved away from them even though I'm listed as a Zurvita Rep. I'm still with their Social Media and mobile media devision but they are breaking away from Zurvita too, so there you go. Anyway, that aside...

I suggest something very simple every WAHM can do, and the training is simple and the business can be done online or offline by a work at home Mom, or aspiring wahm, and even their kids will love Mom for sharing with them too.

Maybe this recent post of mine here on BN will clarify things Leigh Ann at: Links Removed / Content Edited By Support

Hi all,

I'm having an issue with attrition on my team. While I realize its a common issue, I wanted to get your feed back as to why you think that is in my case. Basically our team training is all we offer to new people and the training basically covers product information, proprietary marketing funnel set up, a couple of profile edits in the back office, templates for advertising such as flyers, business cards and such. There is very little if anything about the very essence of Network Marketing; prospecting, recruiting, leadership etc. We have a few training calls and while some of them go into a little bit od depth on prospecting and etc. It's not a lot.

In addition, we are trained to post ads on job sites for leads as a means of online marketing. In comparison to other lead generation methods used by people in MLSP and other systems, I get minimal results (like less than 10 leads per day). The leads that I do get, I don't have a high conversion rate with because either they are looking for a job instead, have to talk to a spouse, the ever popular money objection, all the normal stuff.

Once we sign someone up, we are trained to send them to our training website and then encourage them to get on conference calls and thats basically it. The top leadership in the team basically says its the new persons responsibility to contact the upline and if they quit oh well. While I agree with all that since its consistent with from the research I've done and books I've read, I feel like there's more to it in regard to what I could be doing to be a better upline and/or have less attrition.

I just wanted to get your thoughts on that. I'm almost ready to switch companies because of the upline support I don't feel like I'm getting when I ask the "hard questions" example: I asked the #2 leader in the team why we are trained to advertise on job sites and she basically just restated my question in answer form without giving any real substance or reasoning.

Hey Leigh Ann, since Adil brought up MLSP, I suggest something much more flexible and more powerful for getting the word out about your business, and save your 50 bucks a month for other advertisng. It's a complete toolbox and it is free.

Yes, free to any user, and there are no upgrades or upsells or other training stuff to buy ever to distract your reps with in the back office, just a pure rich toolset and I'm a professional SEO Specialist (Search Engine Optimization Specialist) who's been online since 1995 and have seen a ton of tools along the way, and this is really second to none for the cost, or should I say no cost, and your whole team can use it for free too. Simply see my BN post on it here Links Removed / Content Edited By Support

Leigh..

In my experience people generally opt out when they feel that there is lack of quality training to help them and their businesses grow..of course you cannot spoon feed them..it is up to individual too to work hard and apply newly learned strategies to their business and be consistent / persistent...

MLSP and 7 FN( 7 figure networker system) are good systems for beginners to tap into and use the power of online marketing strategies to grow the business. I have been using 7FN for over 2 years now and think it is a very good for down lines who are relatively new to the industry, although it also has an advanced section for experienced people in the industry..

Plus , why not use forum marketing to your advantage??..It is an online marketing strategy , which if applied correctly with right tips and strategies , can be really powerful to grow your business ..

I use to have that problem too I focused on recruiting people who already owned businesses and showed them how MLM will help them in their business. The a month or so ago I talked to Mark Yarnell a legend in this industry he said recruit 100 people as fast as you can 6-7 of those 100 will give you a 6 figure income.

So recruit more people don't worry about the people who drop out. I have a friend who owns a gym 80% drop out within the first 90 days. The solution he find more people.
