I know it can be quite infuriating when the people you are trying to help, ignore your messages, don’t respond at all or ignore what you say and just go right ahead and do the opposite of what you are suggesting. I suspect all sponsors have experienced this.
Well, right from the word go, we tell our downline members that its their business. They are the owners and they run them their way. As sponsors, our role is to give them the training, coaching and support – not telling them how to run their businesses. We make suggestions but that’s it.
If you want to constructively criticize your downline, I would suggest that you do that with tact and diplomacy. Do not violate their right as business owners.
I have some suggestions and these are how I constructively criticize my people:
1. I word them as a ‘tips’ Formulate it as something they are missing out on (eg -not collecting daily VP)
2. You can put it across as a suggestion explaining why you are recommending that course of action and the benefits/advantages. (eg – why should transfer buy)
3. You can also put it across as a lamentation – “It’s a real pity that this happened but....we live and learn...”
You want to come across as someone who is real and who genuinely wants to help. Never give or even hint an impression that you are just after the benefits of having active and successful affiliates. You are there beside them wanting them to grow their businesses and be successful.
Where they have blatantly ignored my suggestions, I simply continue making the suggestion. I try and sell the suggestions to them. I always respect their right to make their own decisions.
