Never Bite A Helping Hand!

     Most people get involved into a Network Marketing company through a representative or associate who is already in the business. We will call this person an “upline.”The upline has a financial interest in the new person’s success. WHY!? If he or she doesn’t make any money by selling the products or service then the upline does not make any money.  In this case, a “smart” upline will do anything and everything they can to ensure that the person they brought into the business receives as much training and support as possible. This is considered a “win-win” situation in which both people win; the upline and the “downline” (the new person brought into the business.) 

     On most cases, uplines understand that the more training a downline receives the more successful he or she becomes. So, they should do everything in their power to help provide that training either from them or a third-party resource. Fortunately, the majority of downlines in a NetworkMarketing Company truly appreciate the value of the training that their uplines provide to them. However, there are a hand-few who don’t appreciate this training. They usually have what I call an “entitlement” mentality in which they feel as if they are owed something, or the upline has to provide them with something just because of who they think they are. I also call this, “they believe in their own introduction.” Don’t get me wrong, I believe that having high confidence and high self-esteem are very important. However, being over-confident and “cocky” are not a great fit for this industry. 

     One of the best ways to ensure your success in your Network Marketing Company is to become a great student, and learn all you can. I would further say you should also appreciate any training that your upline or anyone else provides for you because their ultimate goal is to help you succeed. So, with that being said, stop thinking you know everything and make sure that thank your upline for providing all of the training they provide in order to help you SUCCEED in your Network Marketing Company.
