Number Three - WIIFM

We are still at the low end on the priority scale. These first three criteria are those upon which I have not assigned much weight.

In building a Network Marketing downline, and deciding where to place people that I have recruited, my lowest three priorities are:

1) Attendance at the official meetings, conference calls, etc. Being "teachable and coachable", or "plugged in", in the conventional sense. Doing it the way they tell you to do it. While important in its own right, when compared to my other critera this one is not all that important to me.

2) My 5th Level person. These people must be closely linked to me. I want them to be a primary contact, and I expect more from the 5th level, than any other, in terms of them being responsive and involved. Those that are, are more likely to have my recruits placed under them. This criteria is also one of the two or three where a person can negatively impact their own downline by not working closely with me.

3) WIIFM. Or, "What's-In-It-For-Me?" Of course, the reason anyone gets into any NM is to make money. So one of my criteria is going to be, will it make me money? I have to place this one in here somewhere, but it is still down at the bottom end of my most important factors. I still want to help my people, more than I help myself. I believe that it is the best long-term approach to helping myself. In the long-term, I want a high retention rate. If I only do what will make me the most money, I may tend to lose people that got in early. But I need people to get in, stay in, and have a good time doing it!
