The most common error is not contacting OR insufficient contact downline member !

I think that the contacts are never too much for downline member.

Downline members need to help and point out the important things

Otherwise it will be proper to send your members and downlines messages once per week targeted at actions and encourage.

When there's a issue that needs to be solved communication should be current via telephone, cell phone or e-mail and etc.

Common mistakes to avoid with your downline?
I think, first, that we must approach each one of them in the individual way, because people are different and the same approach to everyone, is, in my opinion, a great mistake. So,we should try to avoid to treat all in the same way, and try to find the right way that will inspire and motivate each of them.
Other mistake is using ready-made answers. We should show that we are human beings, accessible, understandable and willing to help.

Here are some of things that are important:
- You must be active if you want to have active members
- Try to answer back to any messages from your downliners as soon as you can
- Try to be helpful as much your time allows you
- Do not rush your members to open ECA
- and NEVER rush them to buy things on tripleclicks
Hope this will help you a bit!!
Have a great weekend!!

As you build you downline always encourage remember everyone is different so some would grasp information more easily than others.So you work with the works and do not forget the others.
Make contact daily with each affiliate to see how far they have reach/or what they did the day before and help them advance.
Do not loose patience.Be there for them always your success depends on their success.Do not talk down to them make them feel part of the business
Inspire them set goals within

Most of the people are feeling that when building network marketing in their downline is very difficult task. But this is not true. It is not so much difficulty; it takes effort, time as well as money.

With correct strategy and correct attitude, it is very easy to build large number of people under your downline and attain success financially.

You should avoid two mistakes. They are:

1. First mistake is utilizing ineffective methods of marketing - Publishing

Common mistakes can be made when you do not connect with your downlines and that can be avoided by daily, weekly or monthly staying in touch with emails, chats or any other way you have excess to.


Avoid saying wrong words or pushing them to set up standing order or to purchase items if they are not financially ok for the moment.

Ask them to share their concerns and help them by sharing tips,links and any other things you think they are in need of.

All the best

This is an excellent question.
I think it's important to be completely honest.
- It is important to explain to people what kind of company it is.
- We should not give false promises of big and fast earnings
- People should be refered to the "scoreboard" in order to see how many successful people have the SFI and how many states is involved
- We nead to express honestly our personal experiences and observations
- We nead to open our case to show that this

The Affiliate's first encounter with SFI is that there is so much to read and would need so much time and attention to be able to manage. This situation will seem to discourage the Affiliate. There is the need to start leading the affiliate by gently trying to explain issues in bits. In all try to encourage and motivate by describing the processes and the outcomes and the follow-ups, do that in bits and pieces. Infact my Sponsor did well by not trying to get me involved in all the processes at the

As you build your downline I think it is a good idea to remember that quality is much better than quantity. Work hard with your downline but dont do everything for them or they become dependent and that means that they are not so good to have. Lead and teach but dont do.
Communication with your downline is important, make sure you mail them at least weekly.
If they have issues dont ignore them and if you dont know an answer try and help them find a solution.
Most of all be totally

I think the biggest mistake you can make is to give up on inactive affiliates. I was assigned inactive affiliates but I kept on sending mails - and eventually I got somebody to give it another try.
It would also be a mistake to write a book when you contact your downline - keep it short and sweet but encouraging.
Help them but do not do everything for them - teach them to do for themselves.
