Sponsor Or Recruiter…choose wisely!

I was thinking about how so many people in the MLM industry are sort of hit by the recruiters who come in like a "whirlwind" on a recruiting campaign and then they're gone. So I decided to enlighten all my friends out there in the industry and really express my opinion about the difference between a recruiter versus a sponsor...OK so here goes.

One of the biggest challenges in the MLM industry is not just choosing the right company/opportunity to join, but is choosing your direct sponsor. I can tell you with certainty after spending 20 years in this amazing industry that although finding the right company, product and compensation plan are an integral part of success, finding the right SPONSOR is paramount!

And further, while there are many excellent recruiters, there are very few truly good sponsors! And frankly, many of you are already a victim of the “hit and run” tactics that plague our industry.

Here’s the bottom line; A RECRUITER is someone who brings you in, then quickly forgets you even exist. A SPONSOR is someone who works with you, hand in hand, to help you achieve success. It's like the difference between night and day!

And just what is the #1 quality you’re looking for in your sponsor? It’s Leadership. You need to decide if this person is someone who will be your “coach, mentor and teacher”. Are they a person who can “add value” to you and your future MLM team? Will they be there to support and motivate and inspire you and your team? Do you have respect for that person?

Many times your sponsor has just entered your MLM company or industry 30 minutes before you did… and that’s ok if that person is someone who you’re comfortable with and can give you what you need to help build your business. Remember, there are many people in your MLM company if this person is not someone you feel can be your “partner and mentor” in business.

When you speak with your sponsor is he/she encouraging you, motivating and inspiring you, and is 100% upbeat about your MLM Company and products. Remember, many times you’ll be having this person on the phone with you and your prospects with 3 way calls… so it’s important to have a person whom you respect and admire as well as being the “expert” on the phone.

Seek out the right sponsor that fits you and your personal needs… you should “interview” this person like when you’re looking to hire someone to perform a service for you… make sure they meet all the criteria for you that defines whom you are looking for as your sponsor.

Can you imagine how embarrassing it would be to get a really great prospect on the phone with someone whom you’re choosing as your sponsor and they sound either not qualified or knowledgeable about your company, products or compensation plan? How would that person be able to be your “mentor, coach or teacher”?

My friends choose your sponsor wisely!

Those that have Leadership skills will EXUDE confidence to you when you speak with them on the phone on any subject about your company, products and compensation plan… they have the qualities of a person whom you respect and admire and you can see yourself “learning” from their teachings… you truly see them as your GUIDE to MLM success and want them as your business partner and are proud to introduce them to anyone!
