Duplicatable Tactics for Exploding Your Downline

Your downline will never grow unless you know these truly duplicatable tactics.

It’s all about duplication. If you expect to grow a network marketing business, that’s it. Get a duplicatable system, and your downline will explode.

This is what we’re taught when we join an MLM company. But if I can be completely honest with you (and tell you what you already know), it’s a bunch of crap.

What you’re taught simply isn’t duplicatable. No one can actually do it. It just doesn’t work.

Why?

Become a master inviter. Use the three foot rule. Hold two parties in your house every day. Ignore the rejection.

The network marketing industry has created a mantra, and they figure if they just keep chanting it over and over, it will become reality. Unfortunately, however, after decades of the chant, it doesn’t work any better now than it did in 1960.

If it isn’t duplicatable, how can I grow my business?

Let’s define “duplicatable“. First off, it isn’t a real word. It’s duplicable. But nonetheless, we in the network marketing industry have coined the term, so it’s become common speak.

But more importantly, it means that something can be copied. And in our context, it means that if you do what they teach you, you’ll sponsor people into your downline. Then, when you sponsor a new member to your team, you can give them a method to exactly do what you do, and they’ll also do the same.

But let’s think about this. Who are we supposed to be duplicating? Usually the top earner on the stage, right?

So we know they grew a big downline, but what advantages did they have? We all know that there are simply some people who have a special gift of salesmanship. Not duplicatable.

Others were hand selected for the launches of new network marketing companies, so they truly got to be in at the top. Not duplicatable.

Maybe others didn’t need an income and were able to go full time for 5 years. Can you?

The only true duplicatable tactic to achieve success in MLM.

The online world has become the great equalizer. It affords us all the same opportunities.

No longer do you have to be full time, a super salesman, or in at the top to have success.

Why?

Because for the first time, it’s truly about implementing techniques that just about anyone can copy. Which is what being duplicatable means.

You can blog. You can buy pay per click ads (even with a tiny budget). You can use social marketing methods. All of it for little or no cost.

It can be taught, copied and implemented quickly by others. Finally!

But…

Nothing comes without a “but”, right?

Of course, there is a right way and a wrong way. And it starts with one simple, yet obvious observation:

You had better duplicate the right stuff.

There is no shortage of people telling you what to do out there. Primarily because of the profit motive. They want you to buy stuff (which is not a bad thing!).

You want to duplicate real success. Not just people who make big claims.

So get out there and start online marketing. But a strong caution:

Demand proof.

Only copy what can be proven successful. Copy the best you can find. Makes sense, right?

There is one such system that I know of. It is the exact same system that one of network marketing’s most successful recruiters developed, and personally uses, and has been made available to other marketers.

To Your Success!
