It Takes Hundreds, Not Two!

It Takes Hundreds, Not Two!
I'm sure you've heard it before. They say, "Sponsor two, or
sponsor three, and your whole downline will take off!" I'm
sorry to be the one to break it to you, but it's a lie.
Sure there is psychology behind it on why your to-be
sponsor will claim such a thing. It sounds easy...this
makes you feel like you can handle the business too. I
mean anyone can sponsor two other people right?

Wrong! Let's talk facts. Over 95% of people who try an MLM
business will not even sponsor two people for their
lifetime with that business. Ouch. I'm saying 95% because
the more commonly believed statistic is 97%. Ouch again. So
what kind of realistic scenario would we expect? If you
only sponsor two into that business, you would be lucky if
those people you sponsored were even able to sponsor one
person. Where does this leave you? At a big dead end...
Triple ouch. What will those people do when they can't
achieve success? Unfortunately like most they will give up.

I want to face head on why people believe it should take
only two, only three, or whatever else that magic number
may be. In a perfect world, it would work perfectly. For
example let's say it is a three by matrix. You sponsor
three, each of those people sponsor three, then each of
those people sponsor three and so on until the matrix is
full. You would then be making a boatload of money. The
problem in the real world is that 97% of the people won't
do their part. Only 3% or less of the people in your
organization will actually help it grow. But don't worry -
this article is not meant to depress you, there is a light
at the end of the tunnel!

The good news is that when you learn to sponsor just one
using a duplicatable method then sponsoring hundreds more
is not a problem. All you have to do from that point is
keep repeating what you did to sponsor that one. If that
one was somehow a fluke accident then you need to learn how
to sponsor one or two more, and by that point it is as
simple as rinse and repeat. The key word here is
duplicatable. Duplicatable is something that can be learned
and passed on and those people can receive the same exact
results. The truth is that in order to be successful you
will need to sponsor hundreds, but you also need to work as
a team and work with your downline to teach them these
duplicatable methods so they can keep sponsoring and
growing their downline on a regular basis too. A big
misconception is that putting together a warm market list
and contacting those people is somehow a great and
duplicatable method... it is not! Not everyone wants to
approach their friends and families, or even cold call
leads. That means it is not duplicatable and instead you
need something that the majority of people can handle.
Online systems and strategies are duplicatable. Make sure
what you are doing is duplicatable and it is something
everyone in your downline can follow, otherwise your whole
organization and online business will struggle. Stop
marketing in ways that are unpredictable and were results
can not be measured! Track your advertisements and
strategies and get measurable and real results! Know what
to expect.

Most importantly, don't ever stop sponsoring more people
into your business. It constantly needs an injection of new
life, teach these people your strategies and your business
will take off like never before. It doesn't matter what
business you are in. It doesn't even matter what type of
pay plan structure that business has. You can succeed in
absolutely any business once you know the basics to
building your business.

How do you learn these basics and duplicatable strategies?
Surround yourself by successful people. Not just one
person, but many successful people. In return you will gain
knowledge, and knowledge combined with action is everything
you need to succeed. Even through success always surround
yourself with other successful people who can influence you
in a positive way. Soon you will see yourself influencing
and helping hundreds of others towards a path of success,
and you will already be there.
