Your #1 Responsibility to your Downline

Years ago, a very skilled trainer looked across the room at the leaders in her direct sales business and posed the question, “What is your #1 Responsibility to your Downline?”

People all over the room raised their hands and offered answers like “to support them—to help them with demonstrations—to show up for the business opportunity meeting—to meet people with them—to teach them how to make phone calls—to be duplicatable.”

One by one the answers came and with each answer, Cindy shook her head “no.”

Finally, she had to tell us!

“Your number one responsibility to your downline is to be profitable.”

“Oh!” we collectively responded.

“Because if you are not making money why should they think they can?”

So are you fulfilling your #1 responsibility? If not, do you know what you have?

Answer: A Hobby!

What is the difference between a hobby and a business?

Answer: A Hobby costs you money; a business makes you money!

If you have a hobby, but you want a business—fire yourself. Schedule an interview with yourself and find out what you are willing to do to turn your hobby into a business!
If your company is a legitimate business, a member in the Direct Sales Association, you CAN make money with it. Prove your company right—and go make some money!

Then announce to the world that you have a business and you are fulfilling your #1 responsibility to your downline, your company and yourself! Oh yes, and pat yourself on the back—for me!
