What Will You do When Your Network Sponsor Quits?

The network marketing industry is notorious for the amount of people who give up after a very short lived career in the industry, and the problem with this type of business is that those people who are involved are all taught the need to rely on each other in order to be successful. This need to be reliant on everyone else is unfortunately the cause of so many failures.

So what do you do when your network sponsor has quit and left you high and dry?

What most people do in this situation is to continue searching up line until they manage to find the next person who will take them by the hand and lead them.

The reason that most people do this is that the chances of them quitting as well are pretty strong. Even though the internet offers great advantages to internet MLM marketers there is a huge percentage who just drop out.

The truth is that most MLM internet business distributors who are successful are busy people and really don’t have the time or desire to baby-sit anyone who cannot make their own decisions and learn how to operate their internet MLM businesses themselves. They cannot keep up with everyone and spend endless time answering the same basic questions to the same people over and over again.

The point that you need to consider here is that even if your up-line sponsor quits the business! You are in business for yourself and the one person that you need to be accountable to is YOU, so here is what you need to do.

• Study the business plan.

• Purchase the products and discover what it is that you like about them. You cannot sell something that you don’t believe in personally.

• Develop you own story and tell people what benefits you personally gain from using the products or business opportunity.

• Work on your down-line and teach by example. Motivate your distributors to emulate what you do but make it clear to them that they need to be independent, this business is theirs and their success depends on them.

• Spend your time sponsoring; the success of your internet networking business is up to you.

At all times remember that you are the owner of your own internet business and can make the decisions yourself based on what you wish to achieve. Remember that your sponsor is not responsible for you and if they quit they are the ones who will lose out in the end.

RE: Life isn't fair / 'Ol Boy Network - I certainly won't argue that 'Ol Boy Network practices exist and probably always will to some degree because, yes, people like to work with those like themselves. I am curious, though about reactions to the content and approach of the article itself, particularly given that it is from an HR / Management consultant: 1) What does the phrase "'Ol Boy Network" mean to you? 2) Do readers view his discussion as an impartial observation of the phenomenon or do his comments such as "...is not a bad thing," "it's natural," and "are normal occurences" sound like he's expressing an opinion that the practices are OK to continue because that's how it's always been? 3) Would the nature and direction of the content affect your tendency to hire this individual as a consultant? I tried to explore this with the author himself but he was extremely defensive and somewhat insulting regarding the possibility that his article might be perceived as endorsing the practice. I'm looking for a barometer check.
