subject: 5 Characteristics Of A Good Mlm Sponsor [print this page] There are plenty of people who would be willing to sponsor you into their MLM business. This gives you the opportunity to consider who you want to be involved with. Here are 5 characteristics a good MLM sponsor will provide.
1. Do they put the emphasis on you and not themselves? If they're the type of person who is interested in your goals and your success then they probably will be around to help you achieve those. If they are the type of person who wants to talk about themselves all day you need to question if you really want to be involved with this type of person?
2. Do they have a proven track record? This doesn't have to mean they are millionaires in network marketing either. However if they are moving their business forward, and can document that, chances are you can learn a lot from them and they can be of value to you.
3. Do you feel like you are working with a professional? You can tell this by their own website and blog. You can tell their professional by how they reply back to an email question you might be asking them.
Are they willing to chat online with you or pick up the phone and call you? The Internet certainly affects how people join businesses, but you still want to work with professionals.
4. You feel like they are the type of people who would solve problems if you had one? This is a good question especially with Internet marketing involved today.
Although these people are not your boss they are your sponsor and you want to feel comfortable they can solve problems or least steer you in the direction to get your problems taken care of. Because not everything will work 100% the way you want it having a sponsor who is a problem solver is important.
5. Do they have some background in MLM businesses? Today successful network marketers are involved in more than one opportunity. As a matter of fact it is possible to work multiple opportunities and this might actually be to your benefit when you choose the right sponsor.
Not only can you make money on the opportunity that you are joining them with now, you may be able to join them in other opportunities and make even more money.
These are a few things I would look for in a good MLM sponsor. People who have these characteristics are attractive as a sponsor and ultimately will help you become the kind of sponsor you want to be as well. Luckily all of these skills are things you can learn to do more effectively.
