So how do you determine if your leader is the leader you want to work with?

Some sponsors do what leaders need to do.  They motivate you when you need it.  They try to understand what makes you tick. They want and need to understand your goals and what gets your blood racing.  Ultimately, they become both a friend and mentor.

Sometimes, the sponsor doesn’t fulfill the role of a leader. After they get you signed up, they disappear. This happens way too often. Then the marketer struggles to make any money and, most likely, drop out of the business after six to nine months.

So, how do you know which type of sponsor is recruiting you?

Unfortunately, there is not a clear cut answer to this question.  Probably the best course of action is to have a set of questions that you need answered.  Then you need to interview your prospective sponsor to see how they answer your questions. You also need to understand that some sponsors will not take kindly to being interviewed.  They will state that they are the leader and you need to follow what they say. This may or may not be good for you.

If you are new to the MLM world, there are many things that your sponsor may not tell you. They may not tell you what to do after you tap out your warm market. They may give you vague instructions, like make a list of 100 people that you know and go talk to them. Handing out flyers, holding in home meetings, explain your business to any one that will listen, etc. etc. are other things that they may have you do.

This may work for some people. However, this marketing strategy has done more damage to the network / MLM market that anything else. If a person is not a salesman, they will fail miserably if they try to market their product this way. They need a different marketing strategy.

A good sponsor will have a plan to get the new person going. They will try to understand the comfort level for a given marketing plan and explain how to implement this plan. Most good sponsors have a range of marketing strategies that can be adapted to fit most any situation or person. They understand that there is not a single solution for getting everyone successful, so they change their plan to fit the person.

There are also a percentage of marketers that don’t want their sponsors help. They have been there, done that. Sometimes they know more than their sponsor but, because of their situation, join an opportunity under a less experienced sponsor. As a sponsor, you should then try to learn everything you can from this team member.

In conclusion, when you are considering joining a new opportunity, make sure you know what your sponsor will do for you and what you will be doing for them. Just remember that the goal is for everyone to be successful.

Unfortunately, this situation may have nothing to do with you.  Your sponsor doesn’t understand this or even how to explain this issue to you.  Fortunately, this issue is easily explained … if you understand basic mathematics.

Mathematics?

Yes, this is a quite simple math problem.  You see, in any sales business, you get paid based on the quantity of products that you sell.  The more of your product that you sell, the more money that you make.  Quite simple. Unfortunately, there is a huge second factor that enters into this equation that will impact your total income, especially if you are running your own business.

This factor is the amount of money you earn per transaction.  You are probably saying that this won’t make THAT much difference, will it?  Yes, the difference in the amount that you earn per transaction will make a tremendous difference in your income. The example below will show the graphic difference. This will be a simple example but has real world implications.

First, some base information.  Typically, one percent (1%) of your prospects will purchase your product or service. In addition to this, only about one percent (1%) of the people that read you ad will respond to it.  Then you get to the real kicker, only one percent (1%) of the people that see your ad will even bother to read it.

So, here are the numbers.  You need one hundred (100) prospects to get a customer. To get the one hundred prospects, you will need to have ten thousand (100 X 100) people to read the ad.  Now for the scary number.  You need one million (1,000,000) views to get your single customer.

So, by now, you are probably asking what this has to do with anything.  PLENTY.

For instance, say you earn ten dollars ($10.00) per sale.  For your one million views you just made ten dollars.  Do this ten times per month and you just made one hundred ($100) dollars.  CONGRATULATIONS.  In five months you are broke and your business is probably on life support or worse.

OK, say you bought into a better system and you are making one hundred ($100.00) per sale. You are doing better because you have now made one thousand ($1,000.00).  This means that you will struggle for a YEAR and then probably still bail out because your effort is not being rewarded the way that you think it SHOULD be.

Now, what if you were to join a large dollar program?  Say you could earn one thousand dollars ($1,000.00) per sale.  This would put ten thousand ($10,000.00) in your pocket for ten sales.  NOW YOU ARE TALKING.  Now you have a business with enough income to allow you to grow your business to a level that is sustainable.

Unfortunately, too many people join the small dollar programs and then complain that they can’t make any money…AND…they are correct.  The odds are greatly stacked against them.  Now if you are looking for pocket money, yes, a small dollar program will fulfill your needs.  If, however, you are looking to put some decent money in you pocket, a small dollar program will drive you out of the business.

So, what do you do?
