How The TAPROOT SYSTEM Can Lead Your Team To Massive Success
If you want your team to follow you, you must lead by your own good example.


If you want your team to follow you, you must lead by your own good example.
Merely teaching others what to do never translates into being an effective leader. It doesn’t matter whether you are telling them from the stage, during an online meeting, or in a personal situation. Ultimately, whether you’re giving instructions, teaching lessons, making suggestions, or telling motivational stories, it really just amounts to little more than a bunch of “hot air”.
If you are serious about being an effective leader, you must show others what to do. You must demonstrate through your own actions how to build a successful business.
The TAPROOT SYSTEM may be the single-most effective technique you can employ to ensure faster enrollment of multiple reps, while at the same time demonstrating to your reps how you deliver on your promise of supporting them.
Here is a picture to help you visualize the reason for the name of this system. Observe the shape of an actual taproot. In just a moment you’ll see how to apply this powerful natural phenomenon to your own organization.

First let me describe the big mistake most reps make. (Are you guilty of doing this?)
They personally sponsor a bunch of people and put them all on their first level.
As a result, their organization looks like a pancake. It is wide, but it is very flat. There’s no depth.
As a result, your activities will be similar to a hamster running on a wheel.
You’re engaged in a lot of activity, but you’re not getting anywhere.
When you have an organization with no depth, it is very easy for the people you sponsored to drop out, because they don’t have anyone underneath them. They don’t have a team, and there’s little reason for them to stay engaged.
The TAPROOT SYSTEM works with all the different ways you may connect with potential new reps:
#1 Warm Market
#2 Leads
#3 Social Media
Referrals from the 3 previous categories
Often, you’ll have made presentations to any number of people who have not yet made the commitment to join your business. Using the TAPROOT SYSTEM will motivate them to make the decision to get started now.
With the TAPROOT SYSTEM, you are employing powerfully effective psychological motivation for new people to join. That’s because you are providing both the advantage of having Something To Gain, as well as creating substantial Fear Of Loss .
Here’s the system:
STEP ONE. You have just enrolled a new rep. However, you will not place them in your organization, or submit their forms to the company just yet. You will hold their enrollment and use it as a way to motivate others to join.
STEP TWO. You will reach out to one of your prospects whom you feel was close to joining but just needed an extra ‘push’. Offer to place your newest recruit under them if they join right now. Once they make the commitment, you will not place them in your organization but will repeat the same process you did previously.
STEP THREE. You will reach out to your next most likely prospect, and do the same thing as you did above. This time you will offer to place both people underneath their spot.
You will continue this way until you have a new ‘leg’ or ‘Taproot’ with several people in that downline. With the last person, you will work with the others in that line to begin placing new recruits downline from them.
Now go back and take another look at the image of the actual taproot. You’ll see that there are also smaller roots that begin to grow from the sides of the main root. That process continues over and over.
Here’s one more way to get the TAPROOT system to work for you.
When you have a prospect who likes your business but is unable to decide right now, ask them for referrals from their warm market. Then offer to place any of their referrals directly under them when they choose to get into the business.
Here’s a very effective short script to use when making your presentation to those referrals:
Hello ‘John’ this is Ron, I’m calling you because we have a mutual acquaintance (name of contact) and your name came up. We were discussing different ways to make extra money and he/she suggested I speak to you. Do you have a moment....
Go through a brief qualification and make your presentation, if appropriate. Then get back to your personal prospect and let them know the person they referred is ready to get started, and you want to place them on their team.
IN SUMMARY:
You’ve now seen how you can motivate people who are ‘on the fence’ to get started now by offering to sponsor new recruits underneath them. This gives them double motivation to join now. They clearly have something valuable to gain by having these new people on their teams. Even more importantly, they have something to LOSE.
In truth, “Fear Of Loss” is a far more powerful motivator.
Because it has been proven that when people have something to lose, they are much more likely to take action.
Therefore the TAPROOT SYSTEM gives you the leverage of causing more people to sign up quickly and having them stay in the business longer. That’s because they’ve already got a team beginning to build downline from them.
When you demonstrate through your actions how to build strong, profitable organizations, all those around you will hail you as a great leader!

I need a 4-6 step to Taprooting.... this works very well with Leads works with Walmart- at lunch, I’m going to your warm market person who said they were interested I could make a decision and offering them a team to be put underneath.... #1 Warm Market #2 Leads. #3 Warm market of leads. Taprooting is the best way to give benefit to those on the fence. Imagine talking to a prospect and saying to him that if they can make a decision to get started you have four people that you could put underneath them, the next person to contact you now have five people you can put underneath them if they can make a decision right now, then how about the next Person... now you have 6 people.... Also, ask for referrals, what referrals you can drive deep into a person's warm market.... Script for transition for warm market referrals.... Here is a sample script: Hello John this is Ron, I’m calling you because We have a mutual acquaintance and your name came up, we were discussing different ways to make extra money and suggested I speak to you.
