MLM network marketing is a business of leverage and duplication. The 95% who are failing are not trained in this. Many new networkers who just started have no experience whatsoever in this. So the only people they will learn from is their uplines or any training resources they can find.
They will be taught by their upline, whether their upline is successful or not, that is a different story. Their upline might have a 6 figure income as well, but his/her way doesn’t mean it will work for them. Their impression of a leader will most probably be the person you brought them in.
In the worst case scenario, the upline knows about just as much as the downline does. A rather typical case of blind leading the blind in MLM network marketing. But if the upline is a great success, good for them and the upline! But as earlier said, some business strategies that may have worked for them may not work for the downline. Please bear that in mind.
When building your own business, would you want to be in control of it? Of course you will! Likewise, you should do your own marketing and lead generation.
Firstly, start sharing and introducing your business with people you know. And as earlier said, taking control is very important. Putting your business in someone else’s hands isn’t advisable at all.
