How To Avoid Bad Leadership In Network Marketing

How to Avoid Bad Leadship in Network Marketing

❌How To Avoid Bad Leadership In Network Marketing❌

One of the most effective ways to grow your network marketing business, Boo Boo, is to be a good leader. 🏆

But… ✋

So many people start out in this business doing and being the opposite.

No, seriously, it’s okay. 👌

I know the truth of who I was as a leader.

And I can freely admit it now because I’ve done a lifetime of growing to move out of the kind of leadership.😁

I displayed and into one that helped me grow my business (and me!). 📈

Below, you’re going to find a list of 4 things I used to do and what you SHOULD do if you don’t want to be a crappy leader like I was: 👇

Drive-By Enrolling 🤩

Know anyone who enrolls people and then ghosts them??😯

Yeah, we’ve all had someone ghost us or someone we’ve ghosted.

But that’s top on my list of crappy leader traits.😬

Don’t do it.

You think, “Oh, I had to figure it out…they’ll figure it out, too.

Besides, I’m here if they call.” That’s not how it works.

Not when I did it, not now.😶

Instead: Ask what they want. What are they taking this journey with you for?😯

Guide them through the launch and follow up every 72 hrs.🤝

Give them a strong start and they’ll be a strong team member.💪

Money-Only Focus 💵

Marina isn’t the point of network marketing to make money??

That’s not the ONLY focus, though, Boo. 👀

But it’s possible that your people are interested in more. That the “money-only” conversation turns people off bc they are not into it.

“Make money from your phone!” is no longer a thing, mkay? 📱

Instead: Talk about what makes your program different or unique.💥

Give people the emotional connection they crave. 😋

Be the leader who is not willing to attract the “money-only” people who are looking for easy money and are not willing to do the work to grow your team.

Unrealistic Expectations Or Support (Getting Or Giving)

Now, when I say “unrealistic expectations or support”, understand that I mean FOR ME.

They didn’t work for me..and some may find different systems work for them.🤷‍♀️

When I leveled up in my business as a 6-figure earner, I had unrealistic expectations for others to come in and do what I did. 😅

In my mind, I thought, “Well, I did it…you can, too.” And if they didn’t step up, I would secretly judge them. Whew…SOOOO glad I’ve since learned how to be a true leader thanks to the masterminds I became a part of.🤩

Sidenote: A fun fact about me is that I always try to be the lowest earner in the room. If you’re the lowest earner in the room, it will be no time before you have to change rooms!

Instead: Find out what your leads want, then do what you need to do to create an environment that makes them feel safe, no matter what they want. That’s what a true leader does (now 😉 ).👍

Production-Only-Focused Leaders

“We want duplication!”👥
“We want high sales!”📈
“We want to hit quadruple Diamond in like 5s!” 🤯

So it’s very easy to get caught up in only celebrating the top enrollers, the top recruiters…then we forget about the behaviors that we should be celebrating because we’re so production-focused.🥳

We also come off as intimidating to others who don't have the same desires.

Instead: Celebrate every single person who is taking a step forward in their businesses – whether it's financially, emotionally, aha moments, etc…like a true leader.🤔

No matter what, I want to celebrate the behaviors that move people forward.

Now, are you developing yourself at a higher level?😁

If you’re not developing yourself into becoming a better leader, you’re probably doing these things that make crappy leaders.👎

And it’s time to step up…even if you don’t have a team yet.

Start now by creating the right culture where leaders can develop and develop themselves, as well.

Celebrate other people’s wins. Put other people on the pedestal – instead of trying to be the top, the one with the recognition.🍾

Remember, this isn’t a “you” business, this is a “we” business 😄

And it’s time to get back to the basics, Boo Boo so you can be the leader who leads and grows with the team..🤗

Prospect with integrity.✨
