Want To Be A Leader

Business, Network Marketing.

Mlm training - 29 characteristics of an mlm leader - having trouble getting your downline to be motivated, productive and follow your guidance and suggestions? A network marketing leader doesn' t wait until he/ she gets a large group before becoming a leader. Here' s 29 proven actions successful MLM leaders do, written by a leader with a downline of 56, 000 people.

It can' t work that way, because you would never get the large group if you' re waiting to be leader first! - my observation is that leaders select themselves by taking on responsibility( the total reason something happens or doesn' t happen) , rather than just the desire to lead. Nor does the leader wait until they feel they possess the knowledge to lead - rarely they do. Want to be a leader? From that basis there are many other attributes you can develop. Go grab enough responsibility that it makes you feel like quitting every day. then don' t quit - congratulations, that' s LEADERSHIP. At events, the leader arrives early and reserves chairs for their entire group on the front row.

I spent five years getting up earlier than anyone else to make sure that my group had the front row. - yes, there are normally only two front rows( left and right) .if you' re on the 2nd or 3rd row - you' re still considered a leader. What I' ve found is that there are very rarely more than two leaders in any room. Once a person gets to a certain level of success they will stop doing these simple leadership things because of ego. Please understand what I mean by this. They suddenly become" too knowledgeable" to sit and listen to a speaker that has less time in the MLM business than them. So is the front row, by the way.

If you remain humble and hungry the world is yours. - a true leader realizes that there is a difference between being a leader and being a leader of people. Network marketing" works" under many conditions, but when those relationships between you and your organization become tight and a" esprit de corps" is created, there' s nothing like it. More on this later. I do mean nothing. Even in jeans.

Appearance is impeccable. - a leader" appears" organized, much like ducks cruising smoothly across the water, no one sees, however or knows how radical and out of control their feet are peddling. Respect means you have a good opinion of their character or ideas. Leaders of people treat their people with respect. Simply put, you are interested in your people - their ideas, their fears, their complaints, their successes - THEM! Find three qualities that you like about each person.

As a leader you develop or find five" Top Producers. " Devote yourself to them. - write those in your day planner. Bolstering an attribute can be many things - from a good verbal acknowledgement, to giving a telephone headset to someone as a gift who is working hard at making calls, to being their friend when they have a personal crisis. Review them frequently, thinking of how you can help bolster one of those attributes. New leaders are let down often by those they devote themselves to. Because you selected the wrong person to devote yourself to. Why?

You only get good at character choosing with experience. - what has the person been doing with their time. and what does the person do with his or her time? Track record is really the only place to look first. People are what they spend their time doing. Of highest concern is whether or not the person has been advancing. Most great leaders begin in a hole and are mad about being there. If they' re not, it might take a lot of work on your part.

Every person who' s ever had the tough decision of choosing between lose two or lose one knows that this is one of the toughest decisions in life. - perhaps more than you have. Albeit controversial, do not sink yourself if doing so won' t save your mate. If you help" able" people, they will help more people. Cut away when you feel you' re being pulled under. If you try to help an unable person they may sink you on their way down. 1The network marketing leader gets the product or service" specialist" in front of their group - whether it' s in person, on a conference call or on an audio or video. Whoever.

Example: Your company carries a nutrition line created by Dr. - he specializes in human nutrition and created an ingredient that is in your products that is truly unique. Example: Let' s say that there' s a foul - up in processing distributor agreements in your downline. The leader will somehow get that doctor on a conference call with his or her group to raise their belief in the products. 1A network marketing leader always gives" back" more. You get the distributors on the phone with a customer service rep that handles the situation. Yes, it' s their job.

You know that that customer service rep really worked hard to help the situation. - but, the leader will send that customer service rep a bag of m& m' s or flowers or something to say" thank you for going above the call of duty. " what do you think that customer service rep will do for your group now? This is positioning yourself so that opportunity can see you. Just about anything. 1The leader climbs the ladder and finds out who the decision makers are at the company and gets to know them but never bugs them. This is different than you seeing opportunity. Yeah, right! 1At the company conventions the leader will introduce the corporate staff to their organization and vise versa.

Suddenly you find yourself speaking at the convention. hmm, I guess it was just luck. - even the order takers! Imagine the difference when a biochemist for a company has met 100 real people with dreams and passions about selling his/ her product. Take the time to do this because it creates a sense of belonging for both the corporate staff as well as the distributors. Do you think that creates a stronger passion for the biochemist to create better products? All of this" belonging" and" passion" was created because of your leadership. 1A leader in network marketing is the switchboard of information and communication.

Absolutely. - they' re not" in the loop. " they are the loop. 1a leader can always be reached by fax, email and or phone. If that' s not a possibility the message will indicate that it might be longer. 1A leader never exposes weakness and fear to their organization. Returned communication will occur in less than 24 hours. Some view me as being" inhuman" or robotic on this. I' ve never met a person in my life that doesn' t have fear and weaknesses. What I mean by this is that the leader must always maintain their certainty about the MLM business opportunity.

If you' ve got fears or doubts about your company get over them or get out. - come back and be a rock for your group. Fly to the company today and get your concerns handled. I guarantee they' ll follow you. One person brings six guests to a meeting, and the third, another brings two brings none. Conversely, share with them your little uncertainties and they' ll be so relieved that you' re" human" and. they' ll also find another leader to follow. 1Recognizing that everyone is growing, a leader never invalidates the efforts of anyone in his or her organization.

The leader is able to notice that person number three is there - which might have been a major growth step for them. - they wear this ribbon for the world to see. So instead of criticizing them for not bringing a guest - they praise them for being there. 1The leader is always searching for and praising something about his or her people. "Little babies love praise, but grown men will die for it. " Men in battle will risk their lives for a �" x �" ribbon they pin onto their shirt above their left chest pocket. Forgo praise and you' ve missed out on the most powerful tool in your leadership arsenal. If you don' t you will also be guilty of the last sentence of item# 1Seeking praise, fame, respect, etc. for what you didn' t do, makes you feel like a fake. 2A leader uses and teaches new technologies in their organization - but only if it truly works. Praise for things they' ve yet to do, and you' ll create a person who withdraws from the group because you made them a fake. 1If you share this list with your group - share whose content it is.

Don' t drive your organization down dead ends. 2Leaders are ethical examples. - they can never trust you and they shouldn' t. If you" sneak" your people past the registration table you' ve just ruined their perception of you. You' ve got one shot at doing this right. 2A leader creates alliances with needed national and international( if applicable) groups to ensure their group has support and representation. Focus on the growth of your people, your bonus check will take care of itself. 2A leader never says what they can get others to say. If no group exists, build it. 2Leaders are more concerned about the growth of their people than the growth of their bonus check.

Example: My company calls and says, "We' d like you to speak at the company convention. " I accept graciously, and then ask" Would it be possible for me to include a new leader named? - more than once i' ve sent pizza to a department with special instructions to the delivery person telling them to say. "this pizza has already been paid for by tim sales. They' re a good speaker and I would love to share the stage with them. " See, a leader wants his or her people to be leaders. 2A leader never, ever speaks ill of anyone - even if they deserve it. 2A leader acknowledges other leaders in the room. "We are honored to have in the room with us Mrs. 7She conducts business meetings in the 44 area. " 2A leader doesn' t get bent out of shape because they don' t get a return phone call from the corporate office - or the upline! He asks only that after enjoying the pizza that you call him at 555 - 379" Everyone laughs and guess what? Anyone can complain - they' re use to that. You get a phone call with the right tone in their voice for getting something done. A leader finds amusement in creating more effective forms of communication. 2A leader has a crystal clear vision about their networking marketing company and where they' re taking it.

There are more, but this should get you started. - if the company doesn' t have something, they don' t complain, they figure out how to convince the company to get it. 2a leader, after reviewing this list will print it out and does at least one item everyday.
