The MOST IMPORTANT thing when you train new downline is to get them into ACTION MODE ASAP!
Keep things simple and don't overtrain otherwise most distributors quit in the first 72 hours.
5 Steps to Train New Downlines
1 ) Train new downlines ASAP when they're excited and before rejection hits them
2 ) Teach them the network marketing invitation script and get them to invite people ASAP
“I'm working on something exciting. This may or may not be for you. Would you be open to taking a look?”
3 ) Don't overwhelm them with info that will distract them from taking action
4 ) Reward their activity even if they're not getting results
5 ) As long as you recognize your team and make them feel fulfilled, they will continue to take action and eventually get the results they want.
The real value of your team member is their “list”
You want as many people on “their list” exposed to your business before the downline gets distracted or quits.

Outline: How to Train New MLM Distributor
Train New Downlines ASAP
When it comes to network marketing, excitement is key.
Network marketers are MOST excited the second they sign up.
— As time goes on, that excitement fades quickly
— You want new network marketers to take as much action as possible before the excitement fades
Get Them to Send Out Invites ASAP!
Give new network marketers a simple script they can use if you want them to take action.
“I'm working on something exciting. This may or may not be for you. Would you be open to taking a look?”
This scripts has a lot of psychology built into it and works well for 3 reasons
1 ) It creates curiosity
2) It's not pushy
3 ) It gives people “a way out” and say “No”
I go into more detail here on why this so called “Magic Script” works so well.
Do NOT Teach Them Things They Do NOT NEED TO Know
Don't overwhelm them with information that they don't need right away such as:
- Product info
- How the pay plan works.
You want them in ACTION MODE and NOT study mode!
Here are some tips to keep in mind:
— Encourage new network marketers to reach out to their close friends with a simple invite script
— Don't overtrain them.
They don't need to know everything to get going.
They just need the bare minimum to take action
Train New Distributor to Follow this Prospecting Process
I'm going to say it again but remember to keep things simple!
Train New Distributors to:
— Invite prospects with a simple network marketing script and if they want to learn more, then you can present to them
— Have new downlines send that script to 10 friends and aim to get 2 – 3 responses
— If they want to learn more, the best way to present is to have them watch a short video or get on a 3 way call
— If you are going to send them to a face to face or zoom presentation, make sure you keep your presentation short and focused on five key points:
- Industry
- Company
- Products
- Training
- Money.
— Train new downlines to follow up with prospects the next day
Make sure you celebrate small victories and keep prospects engaged and excited.
By focusing on building momentum and celebrating small wins, you can help prospects stay engaged and excited about the opportunity.
How to Prevent New Downline from Quitting
One of the biggest challenges in network marketing is preventing reps from quitting too soon.
While new reps are excited and motivated at first, they often lose that drive when they face rejection or obstacles in the industry.
New downlines quit immediately they first get some resistance or rejection.
They may not cancel their distributorship but they mentally quit and are no longer motivated to work on their business.
The average network marketer quits after 71 days, but mentally they quit after experiencing rejection in the first 72 hours
Create a Quick Easy Win
New network marketers are at their most excited when they first join but that excitement quickly fades if they experience rejection or setbacks.
So, how do you protect them from these challenges and ensure they stay motivated?
The answer is to create a quick win!
What are Quick Wins?
A quick win is something that offers immediate results and helps new recruits feel a sense of accomplishment and progress.
Here are some tips to keep in mind:
— New network marketers are at their most excited point when they join the business.
— Rejection and setbacks can quickly lead them to lose motivation.
— The secret to success is offering new network marketers a quick win.
— Getting new network marketers to invite prospects immediately can help them achieve a quick win and stay motivated.
It makes them feel people are interested and they feel a sense of progress and fulfillment.
By providing new network marketers with a quick win, you can help them stay motivated and focused on achieving their goals.
Remember that enthusiasm is key to network marketing,
so when you train new downlines make sure you guide them to get a quick win so they maintain their excitement
Help Them Create Their Vision
Vision is what motivates us and keeps us going.
Teach your team member to create their own vision
How do you do that?
You can start by sharing your vision and also to get them to hear from other leaders.
Creating a Vision and Dream can be hard for people who have been employees their whole lives but it'll get easier and easier the more they hear you talk about vision
Get Them To Attend Events
Events are the life blood of our business.
You must get your new downline to attend as many events as possible
It's not what's taught that's important…
It's what's caught!
Your team members can hear the stories and get the excitement at Events that they'll never get at home.
It'll also teach them what it takes to be successful and start training them to think like entrepreneurs
How to Keep Them Going Even If You Don't Have Results
All entrepreneurs had zero results when they first started but it's the Vision that keeps them going.
New distributors need to know that they're selling Dreams and their Vision
They also have to change their mindset about trading time for money
Teach them that they're paid on results… and not on time.
This training guide and video will teach you how to recruit someone even if you haven't earned anything yet.
Train New Downline to Duplicate Quick Wins
When it comes to training new network marketers, it's important to focus on creating quick wins and building momentum.
Examples of Quick Wins are things such as sending out their first invites, sending out their first video, setting up a presentation, doing their first followup, etc.
These quick wins will help them stay motivated and take even more action
Remember to not overwhelm people with too much info that will distract them from taking action when you train new downlines
Train New Downline Face to Face (Online or Offline)
Nothing beats face to face when you train new downlines.
You can meet them in person on Zoom and provide them with focused training and support, you can help them achieve quick wins and build momentum.
There are tremendous power and energy when you train new downlines face to face.
Remember to keep things simple and just give them enough for them to take action ASAP
Reward Activity and Not Just Results
Most new network marketers will not get results immediately when they first start so that's why it's important to reward activity and give recognition.
If you don't recognize and reward activity, your new downlines will quit
Make sure you don't push them too much nor make these mistakes that make network marketers quit.
Remember to keep it simple when you train new downlines and they will take action and eventually get the results they want.
