Offering Your Professional Skills To Your Down Line.
Written by MaryAnn Russell on July 31st, 2009The multi-level marketing model is structured around the idea that the person who sponsors you into the company will help you build your business. There is a suggestion with this model that the person who sponsors you has a particular set of professional skills and methods to help you be successful with your opportunity. Unfortunately, you don’t have to do much research to find the statistics about the failure rate of MLM businesses.
Multi-level marketing businesses are introduced as an “opportunity” which implies that there is a profitable system already in place and that all you must do is sign up for the “opportunity”. In most cases people never stop and consider whether they or their sponsors have the professional skills to actually run a successful business. There is no such thing as running an “opportunity” and therein lies the reason why network marketing businesses fail.
Network marketing companies have such a stigma attached to them that one can rarely get to a discussion about the product or service. In the past few years some network pros began to investigate the reasons why most multi-level marketing businesses fail. At the very core was a lack of professional experience and skills and an outdated model of what sales and service is all about.
I’m happy to report that progress has been made over the past few years. When people are considering a multi-level marketing business they are encouraged to evaluate the professionalism of their sponsor and up line team. It is important to find out what kind of training, education and resources are available to you.
The new generation of network marketers are using on line training and resources to help their down lines acquire the professional skills necessary to run a successful business (not an opportunity).

The new professionalism in the network marketing industry attracts people to your business opportunity for a variety of reasons. People want to partner with a sponsor who has a variety of skills and resources to offer their down line. In this new model you may find people will want to partner with you for reasons not directly related to your network marketing business. No matter what the case is, as a sponsor, I try to think out of the box and find innovative ways to support the people on my team.
Love it or hate, the network marketing model is here to stay because it is the most profitable way to mass market a product or service while offering the compensation and potential for residual income to the affiliates. The good news is that the new generation of successful network marketers are entrepreneurs who focus on continually “adding value” to their clients, partners and teams.
