Know all the answers, or know the people that do have them. You must be able to be that authority figure for your downline. When they have questions, you must provide them with the right answers.

2. Maintain a good, solid relationship with your downline.
This means encouraging them, helping them, showing them how to generate sales and leads. Know them on a personal level.

3. Closely monitor all of your downlines activities.
Set aside time to communicate personally with everyone. You are taking the leadership role by open communication with them. When someone has issues, then hear them out and respond.

This is true support. Don’t let a week go by without establishing contact with your downline. This way, if there are some problems, you can help to eliminate them before someone gets so frustrated over something they leave.

4. Let your downline shine! Everyone wants their shot at the 15 minutes of fame they have been waiting for. Give your people the opportunity shine in the sun. When they make a big sale or sign up someone to their downline, make a BIG deal out of it. This is your family, allow them to feel they are a part of it.

It will be up to you to evaluate these goals yourself and set the realistic goals that can be achieved.

These tips may already be in place for you, but these tips will certainly be incentive to retain more of your downline efforts because they will work for you.
