Choosing a the right sponsor quite possibly THE most important step involved in starting a home business or network marketing opportunity. Start your search by looking in, at yourself, your experience, your goals, what kind of support you need, and especially, the effort you are willing to put in.

After weeks spent looking for the right sponsor, I found many questions people are advised to ask sponsors. Here are a few of the more common questions asked:

1) Do you have a written plan that I should follow the first 30-60 days?

2) Can you guarantee that I will see the figures mentioned on your website?

3) Will I get a website that is made for me? With my picture, email address and phone number?

4) Are there conference calls that I can bring my prospects to for both the business opportunity calls and the retail membership product?

5) Are you available provide three way calls with my prospects while I am still learning to help me bring prospects into the business?

6) Is there real, tangible sales training available?

7) am on a limited budget - how would I be able to succeed in this business?

My short answers to these questions - Remember, these are the SHORT answers. Some of these questions can have entire articles devoted solely to them.

1) I find that generic 30-60 day plans are far too impersonal. I wouldnt use one, so i can’t expect a memberof my team to. What’s right for me, may not be right for you. I feel it better to guide the individual based on their needs.

2) If you are willing to commit your time and efforts you can achieve anything you put your mind to. But there are no guarantees in business.

3) Yes. I will even show you how to produce and edit your own webpage and recommend software to use.

4) Yes. Yes there is. Global Resorts Network has regular conference calls relating to a variety of topics.

5) Yes. In the event that I am not personally available. My sponsor is more than willing to help you close sales. We’re just that kind of team.

6) Yes there is. Besides the training we personally provide, we have many recommendations and we are constantly experimenting to find results.

7) Obviously with a limited budget you advertising options are ‘limited’. However, there are a great number of free advertising sources available. As always, perseverance is key.

With the right sponsor you will be spending time with the person. They treat you as a person, not a number or a sale. If they are not talking to you about your goals, or willing to get to know you as a person, and willing to have a discussion about value systems and how they support their team, I would, personally keep searching. As a sponsor I invest my time to help my network partners be successful, and I have found it is much more comfortable when I get to know them as a person. After all, your down line aren’t your EMPLOYEES, they are your workmates. They don’t work FOR you, you all work TOGETHER.

I hope this helps your search for a sponsor.

I feel this is the most important piece of information contained in this article. Any program comparisons extend beyond just the product. There is no question that one has to exert their own effort to succeed. A great sponsor, great support, and the right philosophy can assist one in being successful but unless they are willing to work to achieve their goals, even the greatest sponsor on the planet will not help them succeed.
