5. Sell at competitive price. For your downline to asociate with you, you must make them realize you have the best price for most of the common items you listed. This naturally makes your store the first point of call when they are shopping at TripleClicks.
6. Offer special discount to your downline. As a member of your team, you should offer rebates on the purchases in the spirit of togetherness. You can devise a way to pay them back or offer gifts in lieu of payment where payment option is difficult.
7. Offer special reward for selling your product. For their referral effort, you should devise a reward system for them. You just need to establish their involvement in your sales and compensate them. Let them feel they are partners with you in the business and thus share a proportion of the margin.
