Building a Team in MLM

Building a team in MLM is the ultimate goal. Product sales are good but there's no doubt that the big money is made from building a large team. The bigger the better. Just as in franchising the more outlets you have for your goods and or services the more money you'll make, and let's face it, more money is the reason we go into business in the first place isn't it.
Are you familiar with Geometric Progression?
Here is an example of Geometric Progression, the reason why the "Heavy Hitter" appears as a whale, when in reality he is but a school of fish:

March..........You and they get one new member....7
April............You and they get one new member...15
May............You and they get one new member....31
June............You and they get one new member....63
July.............You and they get one new member...127
August.........You and they get one new member....255
September....You and they get one new member...511
October........You and they get one new member...1023
November.....You and they get one new member...2047
December....You and they get one new member....4095
