What does it mean to be a sponsor in Network Marketing? Does it just involve getting your prospect to sign on the dotted line? Hand over their credit card?
Responsible sponsoring involves getting into partnership with your new distributor. For some, that happens in an hour or two and for most, it evolves over time.
Your role is to get them started with all of the tools, resources
and assistance they need. No, you can’t do it for them, so
empower them to do it for themselves by showing them where to find
what they need and where most answers to their questions can be found.
Check in with them once a week for the first month. This
reassures them that you are there and available for them. After the first
month, let them know that you are there, and for them to please let you
know if they need something. This also sets a positive example for them
as they sponsor about what their role will be. And that, of course, creates
solid duplication on down the line.
Sometimes, people develop a fear of those they sponsor.
Someone signs up and we become afraid to pick up the phone and call.
Relax!
If you feel this way you are making up way too much in your own
mind. Pick up the phone, extend a hand and realize that this
person may be the one you spend lots of time with in the future as you
both build wildly successful businesses.
Sponsoring and sharing in the excitement of each new distributor
is one of the best things about this business. Here is to your
sponsoring success!
Much success!!!!
