But your task isn't over. The next big decision is who will be your sponsor. I know what you are thinking, "But don't I have to join with the person who introduced me to this particular network marketing business"? In a word, "NO"! Look, your sponsor holds the key to a large part of your Network Marketing success (or failure!).
It's YOUR future and that of your family's so doesn't just jump on any horse and start riding. Don't put your future in the hands of just anybody. If you want to know how you can write Sponsored Articles then, you can write on the websites those who allow for sponsored articles.
5 Key Elements to Look For in a Sponsor:
Experience: Has your potential sponsor "Been there done that" or are they new to the whole network marketing business concept? If they are new, do they have the ability to tap you into leadership (perhaps their sponsor) that can help mentor you? How serious are they? Do they want to earn some money...or a lot of money? It helps if your ultimate goals are similar.
Success: Has your sponsor had success in the network marketing industry before? If so, what type of success? They don't have to have been a six-figure earner but you also don't need someone who has been in several programs who has had no success at all.
Availability: How easy is it to make contact with your sponsor? What are their work hours? Are they available for 3-way calls and if so when? Hati-hati. If your sponsor is too successful they may not have the time for you. Likewise, if they are only working their network marketing business on a "spare- time" basis instead of a "part-time" or "full-time" basis...they won't have time for you either.
Compatibility: Do you get along? Are your personalities compatible? You will be spending a LOT of time with them so this is very important!
Systems and Tools: Do they have the systems and tools in place to help you become successful? This would include:
o Team Calls
o A training program. How complete is it and how do you access it? Does it cost anything?
o Team web sites or something equivalent such as a webinar
o Simple recruiting system
o Product sales training
o Access to business tools (business cards, flyers, marketing tools, etc.)
I know...the person you talked to may not meet the above qualifications so what do you do?
You must either:
- Determine if someone in their upline can provide these things for you.
- If not...then you MUST find a different sponsor.
If you can access all the above tools, and assuming you and your sponsor are compatible, then you should join with them. The likelihood is that your potential sponsor cannot provide this type of support because they, like most potential sponsors, are working their business part-time. However, it doesn't matter as long as the business systems are in place and you have access to them you can become successful.
What Doesn't Matter When Choosing Your Sponsor for Your Network Marketing Business:
Where your sponsor lives: It is a B-I-G myth that you need a sponsor in your hometown in order to build a successful network marketing business. Listen up...NO YOU DON"T! With today's technology it is totally irrelevant where your sponsor lives.
Age: Pay attention...NO IT DOESN'T! It's not about their age (any more than it's about your age). It's about the systems that are in place. Today, more and more young people are making it big in this industry and their inbred knowledge of how to use technology such as the Internet to build a network marketing business can be a big help to their success.
Male versus Female: Give me a break! If this is an issue with you...then you need to find a job and stay there. Note: 70% of those joining a network marketing business are women!
Background/Education: It doesn't matter if they are a doctor or a welder. What matters is what kind of person they are and what systems they can get you plugged into.
