“How do I build my downline faster?!”  This is what frustrates network marketers more than anything else — How SLOWLY their businesses, their downline — and their bank account — grows when they join an MLM business.

Why are so many network marketers frustrated?  Why aren’t their businesses growing at the rate they expected?  And how do you build your downline faster?

Well, first, it is no mystery why most network marketers’ businesses grow at a snail’s pace or not at all.  It is also no mystery why so many network marketers are frustrated.

It is because they are doing exactly what they were told to do to build their downline.  Yes, you read that correctly.

As a network marketer, see if you can relate to this…

You join an MLM with promises that by doing what they tell you, that you will build your downline faster than you can imagine (and, in fact, that your downline will practically build itself).  You are then told to build your “list of 100,” host parties, give out product samples, and to sell the business opportunity to all of your friend, family, neighbors, co-workers and anyone else who will listen to you.

What you probably discovered is that this builds your downline very SLOWLY, and that even among those whom you did get to join your business that they drop out after a month or two.  No wonder you are screaming that you want to build your downline faster.

So what’s the answer?  How do you build your downline faster?

The answer is to generate leads where the vast majority of other network marketers don’t look for them.  You want to FORGET fishing in the pond of your friends, family and co-workers.  You also want to stop looking for prospects by selling the business opportunity your company offers.

What you want to do is ATTRACT leads who are looking for a solution that your product can provide to a problem or an issue that they have.  You want to position yourself as an expert.

When you lead with the product (the solution) to a a specific issue, you will attract people who are already looking for what you have.  You will attract people who will want to consume the product you have, and whom will be loyal to your product and will not drop out when an ostensibly better business opportunity comes along.  This is how you build your downline faster.

So how do you do this?  You want to create a lead capture page that solely mentions the solution you have a problem (or the answer you have).  When people submit details via this page, you want to give them a free giveaway that provides them lots of good, quality content (not a disguised sales pitch).  Then, as you build your list, you want to develop a relationship (and thus a trust) with your list.  At that point, you will see yourself able to build your downline faster and better than you ever imagined.

So don’t continue to chase prospect, twisting their arms as you try to sell them on your company’s business opportunity.  You want to have people chasing you to get into your business.  Do this, and you will build your downline faster than ever before.

To stop procrastination, one has to reach a point in their life and finally realize that absolutely nothing will ever change until a radical mindset shift begins and backed up with consistent daily action steps. Let’s take Bill’s story for example.

Bill joined the latest and greatest opportunity to hit the planet about a month ago and he is really looking forward to getting things going. Bill goes to his weekly city live presentations but always goes alone because it’s 7pm and he doesn’t want to trouble anyone he knows during a weeknight. Bill’s upline and mentor emails him 20 leads she generated herself but he puts off calling them because he’s got to get a good nights sleep and wake up early to get to his job that he hates.

A week later, he has his 3 way call list and scripts ready to call the leads his upline gave him but Bill’s brother from Denver calls him and they talk for about 2 hours. Bill decides tomorrow I’ll get that mlm article written and upload that first video to YouTube, but I can’t do it now because American Idol is on. Oh wow, 24 is coming up next got. I’ve gotta find out if Jack is going to make it this time and not run out of time. Tomorrow comes and goes and Bill didn’t write a single article or upload that video he shot 3 weeks ago. Why? Because Bill is a major procrastinator.

Let’s look at a few causes and what one can do to avoid procrastination

Laziness – a lot of people are exhausted at the end of the work day but how will you quit your job and enjoy the time freedom of mlm success if you don’t make a change. Do jumping jacks, pushups or jog for 20 min and renew your energy. Kick procrastination to the curb. Start eating the right foods to energize your body. You’ve got to sacrifice if you want to make it in the mlm industry.

Overwhelmed – to many things on your To Do list? Feeling like everyday doesn’t have enough hours in the day? Reassess your schedule because your inner self may be telling you “Easy there buddy! You’ve got way too much going on here and I’m not doing all that!” That’s a big welcome sign for procrastination to creep back in your life. Outsource some of your menial tasks to a virtual assistant in the Philippines or India. Odesk.com is a great site for hiring talented assistants for extremely reasonable rates. Working over 45 hours a week usually decreases motivation, production and creativity. Don’t be afraid to ask for help from loved ones if need be.

Not Motivated – nothing wrong with having a “I don’t feel like doing anything” kind of day once in a while, however when it’s happening too often. That’s a warning sign that what you are doing may not be what your purpose in life is. It may not be your passion and that’s OK. It just means that when you discover what your passion is and center your work around it that new career change will not feel like work but a tremendous joy.

Poor at Time Management – are you constantly falling behind on the tasks that you need to get done? Or having drawn out prospecting conversations for 25 to 30 minutes when it should have been a 10 minute call? Create a plan of daily, consistent, time focused action! Schedule your breaks in between as your activities change and reward yourself with something that brings you joy. So if you’re writing a blog article and your scheduled to have it completed in one hour, get it done and take a 20 minute walk, have a 20 minute conversation with a close friend or watch your favorite DVD for 20 min. Whatever brings you joy!

In order to tame and keep that animal called Procrastination at bay, personal development Cd’s, DVD’s and books can only go so far. You have to come to a point in your life that YOU want to change and then take disciplined action until your bad habits convert to good habits. Your personal growth factor will shoot thru the roof. You’ll be that person who is vibrant, focused, disciplined and courageous. The results far out way the challenges you’ll face in the beginning of your journey. So I encourage you to rise up for the challenge and eliminate procrastination from your life for certain.
