I’ve built a formula for measuring success in network marketing.
Think of it like WAR (Wins Above Replacement) in baseball—except instead of measuring how valuable a player is to a team, we measure how likely a distributor is to win in this business.
If there were a real-time leaderboard ranking every distributor using this formula, it’d change the game.
It’s Moneyball for network marketers… Jonah Hill would be proud.
The Formula: How to Measure Your Success Potential
The formula is simple but powerful.
It combines:
🔹 Effort (Juice) – How much energy are you putting in? Ranked out of 10.
🔹 Skill (Sauce) – How good are you at the key business activities? Ranked out of 10.
🔹 Iteration Speed – How many conversations, follow-ups, and presentations per week?
🔹 Consistency Over Time – How many active sequential quarters have you been building?
The sum of these factors gives us a predictive success score—a way to measure the likelihood of crushing it in this business.
It’s designed to find “diamonds in the rough”—the ones with insane potential who are still undervalued.
Let’s Apply It to Network Marketing
In my case, I calculated my numbers based on:
📌 Short-form video (for attraction marketing)
📌 Conversations per day (for lead flow)
📌 Team duplication (for long-term growth)
My total came out to 523.
Now, of course, there are some holes in the formula:
❌ Juice and sauce are subjective—some people think they’re putting in more effort than they actually are.
❌ It doesn’t factor in a quality multiplier—one great recruit is worth more than 10 bad ones.
❌ Doesn’t account for team leverage—your success isn’t just based on you, but how well your team duplicates.
But it’s a start—and notice what’s missing…
Followers ≠ Success in Network Marketing
Existing followers aren’t factored in.
Why?
Because in most platforms today, followers don’t matter as much as engagement—and in network marketing, your success isn’t based on how many people know you…
It’s based on how many people trust you enough to join you.
That’s why “influencers” with 100K+ followers often struggle to build a strong team, while unknown but consistent distributors quietly earn six figures.
If we were measuring email lists or YouTube, I’d probably include a follower factor (since subscribers = reach).
But to keep things real and raw for network marketers, I left it out of v1.
Imagine This for Network Marketing…
If all athletes are measured by one universal metric (WAR in baseball, PER in basketball)…
Why aren’t network marketers measured this way?
Imagine a team leader with a $100K training and marketing budget—
📌 Instead of guessing who to invest in…
📌 They use data to build their “dream team” of high-potential leaders.
A FanDuel-style roster for network marketing, built on real analytics.
Now, I only have mild Asperger’s, so I need someone with a full dose to run with this and refine it.
This is the kind of next-level strategy we break down in the NetWave Community.
