Deadbeat downlines and what to do with them?

Stop me if you’ve heard this one:

You signed up a few new prospects who quickly got a fre friends and/or family members to join under them…

…but they do nothing else ever again, ever
…except cancel 6 months down the road

Who’s fault is this, yours or the deadbeat downline who:

never called you asking for help?
didn’t apply the training you provided for him?
didn’t make much effort beyond getting his/her friends and family to cover their costs?

What can you do and what should you do about the deadbeat downlines in your organization?

Don’t worry about it
Make the bare minimum effort to alter this reality

#1 – Don’t worry about the deadbeat downlines because they’ll never change their ways unless lightning strikes them in the face.

A lot of people still suffer from the crushingly negative employee mentality whereby they cannot think for themselves and/or take full responsibility for a business.

#2 – Making the bare amount of effort to shake these deadbeats out of their self-induced comas can be done in a few ways:

Call them once a week or once a month, on Sunday nights offering your support and ask them if they need help with anything.
Or just email them occasionally showing your support

Basically what you need to do when dealing with deadbeat downlines is accept the fact that there’s no tmuch you can do to change things.

However, if you “rally the troops” consistently you might break through some barriers and wear a deadbeat down and out and into a productive team member.

If you’re doing really well in your organization, you can also start placing people below your downlines so they see you’re really helping them and that they are really making money
