The Retention Blueprint: How to Keep People From Quiet Quitting Your Team

Why New Team Members Fizzle Out So Fast (And What To Do About It)

Let’s talk about something that happens way too often in network marketing… and we bet it’s happened to you too.

You get a new person on your team, they’re pumped, excited, lit up like a firecracker.

They’ve got huge goals, right?

They want to retire their husband, make 10k a month, grow a massive team.

You're thinking, “Oh yeah, they’re gonna crush it!”

And then… crickets.

It’s like they disappear into witness protection.

You’re left wondering, “What happened? Where’d they go?!”

You try to reach out, but they’re nowhere to be found.

The truth is, this isn’t rare. It happens all the time.

People come in excited, and then 90 days later, they’re gone.

Not because they didn’t want it. Not because they didn’t mean what they said when they enrolled.

But because something happened in those first few weeks that made them lose steam, lose belief, and feel overwhelmed.

So the big question is: Why?

And what can you do differently so that doesn’t keep happening?

The Secret Sauce: Simple Systems + Quick Wins

One of the biggest reasons people quietly quit is this: they don’t get a win fast enough.

When someone joins your team and they’re pumped, you’ve got to help them see results right away.

It doesn't have to be massive.

It could be as simple as someone reaching out and saying, “Hey, I saw your post. What are you doing?”

That tiny win builds belief.

It tells them, “Hey, I can actually do this.”

But most people are thrown into systems that are way too complex.

We’ve all been there, right?

Onboarding meant studying the comp plan, memorizing the science behind 20 different products, joining a gazillion Facebook groups, and showing up to in-person meetings you really didn’t want to be at.

And if you're shy or introverted, being expected to stand up in front of a room and pitch your biz is pure torture.

Here’s the thing: if your new people feel like they need a second full-time job to get started, they’re out.

You need to make it so simple.

Like, “Here’s one thing to do today. Do it. Tomorrow, do the next thing.”

If you help them take action immediately and keep it super simple, they start to win.

Their belief goes up. They build momentum.

And before you know it, they’re running, not ghosting.

Expectations Matter: Don’t Set Your People Up for Disappointment

Another reason people quit?

They're told it was going to be easy. 

Let’s just say it: a lot of people are out here pitching this business like it's magic.

Enroll five, help them enroll five, and boom, you're a millionaire.

But when new people hear that, and then get a few no’s or realize they don’t have a big network, they feel like they’ve been lied to.

And that crushes belief faster than anything.

You want people who are excited to be here. People who are hungry.

Not people you had to drag in by promising them something that isn’t true.

And then there’s the classic bait-and-switch:

You tell your friend, “Hey, come to my house for wine and cheese!”

And next thing they know, they’re sitting in a room full of strangers while you try to sell them shampoo.

These old-school tactics hurt your integrity. People feel tricked.

And no one wants to build their business by tricking their friends.

That’s why we’re so passionate about teaching a different way — a real way.

One that actually feels good.

From Hot Mess to Hotcakes: The Process That Actually Works

We’ve all done the weird stuff.

The home parties, the awkward invites, the coffee and brownies that turned into full-blown pitches.

We’ve been there. That’s why we can laugh about it now.

But here’s the deal: it doesn’t have to be that way. Not anymore.

You don’t need to pretend to be someone’s friend just to pitch them.

You don’t need to stalk your dentist or your kid’s school teacher hoping they’ll join.

What you do need is a system.

A system that anyone can plug into.

One that gets people real results without having to nag, chase, or beg.

One that actually duplicates, because if you’re enrolling 10+ people a month (or dreaming of that), you have to have something scalable.

Otherwise, you’ll burn out trying to launch everyone one-on-one.
