I was reminded just today that sometimes we talk a bunch of gobblety-gook and confuse potential colleagues even before they start their network marketing career.

So, What is an UPLINE?

In a network marketing company, the person who sponsors you and becomes your coach is called your "upline" (in network marketing jargon). Sometimes, when people ask you, "Who is your Upline?", they want to know who sponsored you into the business. Sometimes they want to know who the most senior in rank is, for example, the person at the top of the line who is the highest ranking business leader.

What's Important about Upline?

You should be able to be in contact with your sponsor frequently for business coaching. And, in the best situations, you should be able to look freely for conversations, advice and answers to your questions all the way up the line to the Top Dog, the most successful and highest ranking person in your new business family.

Network Marketing Success

To ensure your success in your new network marketing business start up, reach out to people in your upline for coaching and mentoring. Take responsibility for establishing a working relationship with your coach and other mentors. Set up a pattern of communication and stay in touch. Try out some of their suggestions and get back to them to discuss what's working -- and what's not working -- and your ideas about how to leverage what you've learned into increasing your business success.
