Hi Shelley.
While it is important and just plain common sense to want to know who you are signing up with and who you are entering into a "hopefully" long term business relationship with no I do not feel that one should go around "sponser shopping" and waste other peoples time and your time as well.
Too many take this to an extreme.
I have never sponser shopped as I always "CLICKED" with my sponsers to be.A few simple questions and a conversation was all that was needed. Only once did I turn down a sponser in a company (who was the very first person who I spoke to about it) for very good reasons.
SO many do this,sponser shop till the cows come home and they take forever to make a decision. (procrastination is the great thief of all time)
It can be used as an EXCUSE to just "not get started" in your business whether they realize it or not.
Also,usually but not always the one who is doing the "sponser shopping" asks a barage of questions to see if the sponser QUALIFIES for "them" to join them while the sponser shopper themselves NEVER even think what THEY are willing to bring to the table as a potential "sponser-ree" lol
Do THEY qualify?
The SPONSER is the one if any that should be doing the interviewing
Do "they" pass the test for the sponser? Are they willing to go to work and follow the success system that the company and the more "experienced" upline who is earning the big check from has in place? Are they teachable and willing to learn from those who are doing it?Will they show up or will they make excuses? Are they willing to INVEST the money and time in their new business treating it as a business or do they want everything for free?
So while its just plain common sense and intelligent to KNOW what kind of sponser you are going to be working with there are some questions that THEY should be asking THEMSELVES.
What am I prepared to bring to the table? Am I prepared to follow their business system or am I going to try to complicate things and reinvent the wheel? Am I COACHABLE and willing to learn from those who are doing it and achieving success? Am I a team player? Am I willing to do MY PART to succeed in MY business? (No upline no matter how successful is going to build your business FOR YOU so dont get soooooo hung up on the sponser shopping) Its up to you to ultimately be a success not them.
Just a few questions to ask yourself...along with..."What kind of sponser would "I" make and why would others want to join with "me"?"
Just some food for thought.
