My MLM downline doesn't respect me...what do I do?
I have signed up 11 people and have over 50 people in my downline, but I don't get respected as a leader by those in my group? What gives? I have told them I am making over 10 thousand dollars a month too, and still they don't look up to me for business advice. I am able to sign up people left and right and never sell anything, so don't you think I should be given the respect I deserve for building an MLM business? Should it matter that these people had more success than me prior to joining? I am after all their UPLINE! Yeah, I don't sell anything but I am building the business! What gives? ikkie - its "advice" not "advise". How can I respect the opinion of someone who can't even spell. You only wish you had the income I am making from MLM.

- This is what you do, depending on your business, forget the downline. Instead, turn your customers into your downline, who buy from themselves, and perhaps allow others to buy from them, Focus on those who only wish to do this. Forget the rest of your downline, it's their business now. From now on focus only on those who wish to use the service themselves, in order to get money back for themselves on their own purchases, thus saving them money. Explain this to them, and if they're in some form of financial trouble, if showing high promise for using the product, purchase them into it for them, making it free to them. Creating a million of these types of relationships not only ensures your income, but allows the highest percentage of commission from each sale, instead of getting money from your downline's downline. Do this, and your other downline will not matter. This is the most effective way to work that type of system to my way of thinking, besides finding inspired and motivated business orientated people who have a drive to create their own business without anyone else. For the most effective creation, do both! Forget even telling them about the business opportunity at the beginning. Tell them of the discounts and if they're promising, purchase them into it. It'll be free to them. Free discounts, you cannot lose, niether can they. They get money back, you get strong commissions. You'll Win.
- I don't need self-esteem from my job, I need a paycheck. If you're doing the "right" thing, what difference does it make what people think of you?
- Sounds like an ego problem on your end. Have you ever heard that "Pride comes before the fall" To turn it around sign up people for them help them build their business instead of you Cracking the whip telling them to Row. To be first you must be last. To lead you must serve
- First of all, you are not in a real business. Most MLM's are nothing but sales companies. You have no idea how to run a "business". Respect is something that is earned not given. Just because you "claim" to make 10,000 a month doesn't mean anyone believes you. Maybe you're an a$$. Try being nice and not flaunting the money crap in their face. As for business advise, what advise could you possibly have that they can't get from someone else or from a book? I think you need to take a step back and rethink things. It's not all about the money. The sad thing about MLM companies is that very few people actually make any money, the rest waste lots of time and money that could be put to better use. Good luck and try earning your respect before you demand it.
- This will give you the respect. http://www.Homebusinessgo.com/enter.asp?id=13894
- Well...If they had more success than you prior to joining...Maybe its not because they do not respect you but because they already know how to business build in MLM. In that case, you can build new people who do not know how to build. I am in MLM...I prefer people who do not like MLM than people who had prior success in MLM then switch. MLM experts have too many habits which could differ to my way of doing things. Good luck...
