Rex Harris on how to use Direct Matches for MLM prospects and leaders

One of the questions I hear the most from MLM‘ers is “how do I stop attrition?”  In other words, “how do I keep people from leaving my program for another, or just quitting in general?”

Here are a few techniques that you can use to build and keep a strong downline:

Leadership:  This is the number one problem in MLM.  People want huge downlines, but they don’t want the do the work of teaching others how to become successful.  Find a good mentor who can teach you how to become an effective leader.  If you are struggling with a failing downline, it’s time for a change and all change comes from the top… that’s you!  Don’t wait for someone else to get the job done, take charge and make things happen!

Delegation:  Most MLM sponsors only want the money that comes from having a huge downline and don’t care about the those who they bring into their business.  This is a mistake that will bring failure upon you fast.  People want to feel needed, so get to know the people in your group and delegate leadership to them so they can grow a successful business.  Find a good training platform, where you can refer people to learn.  As a leader, you should always be learning as well.

Commitment:  To most peoople, Internet business is a game or a hobby.  Business is business.  Treat your business like a business and it will pay you back!

Loyalty:  Be loyal to your downline and your business.  Program hopping, using traffic and lead generation programs that distract, money games, etc., are all damaging when it comes to focus.  If you are in charge, you control what resources your team uses, keeping the team focused and prosperous.

One of the best resources for prospecting online is a business community known as Direct Matches.  At Direct Matches, you step into an online world of would be leaders to build your MLM opportunity.  Having solid leaders on your front line, who care about the success of others, know how to teach and are teachable themselves, will make a monumental difference in the long term success of your business.

To use DM effectively, I require my students to join at the basic level (about $10 per month).  This gives them the ability to contact anyone in Direct Matches via the DM email feature.  As Direct Matches has a database in the millions, you will never run out of qualifiable leads!  Think about it… where else are you going to find leads that include photo, interests, business information and more? 

Each time a new member joins Direct Matches, I welcome them by getting them acquainted with my name.  Name recognition (branding) is the real key to success online.  Using this method I get a 99% response rate.  The only time I don’t get a response is if that person has created a phony profile.  Otherwise, it’s easy to egage people in conversation and convert them the qualified website traffic.

    Hi Rex,
    Great stuff on DM. I have been using Dm for a while now and it is a great place to meet people for business and you also get paid pretty good if you work it a bit.

    Hey REx,

    I gotta say, I totally agree with your first point on leadership.

    Leadership means stepping outside of your comfort zone and actually offering to help those in your downline. I found from my experience that no one likes to feel like they’re left on their own after making a purchase with you…so the best way I found is to call those people.

    It seems scary at first, but it’s a helluva lot of fun once you get to talking to all of those great people in this business.
