Is it okay to interview your potential Direct Sales Sponsor? My answer is…YES, You should be interviewing your sponsor! As you read through my blog post, you will see why I feel this way as I outline all of the questions you should be asking your potential sponsor.

What kind of questions should you ask your potential sponsor?

1. Sponsor’s Location – If you have never been involved with a Direct Sales business, do you feel you need hands-on training and support? If so, you will need to look for a local sponsor. If you feel you can handle the business and learn from a distance, then by all means, check into an online sponsor who doesn’t live locally to you.

2. Business Experience – This can play a big part in your business success. If you are getting into the business and want to be successful, do you desire a sponsor who is also successful and who has experience? These days, you will find folks out recruiting others before they have even received their business kits! If you are new to Direct Sales, I recommend joining a sponsor who has been with the business for awhile. If you have Direct Sales experience and don’t require a lot of training, then you can consider joining someone with less experience.

3. Time – What are your potential sponsors working business hours? Do their hours ‘fit’ with the schedule you want to keep? With some consultants, this can be an issue…with others, it doesn’t really matter, but it’s something to consider.

4. Support and Training – How does your sponsor provide training? Is this training via email, phone calls, teleconferences, webinars, chat rooms, local meetings and emails? Is the type of training they provide acceptable to you? Will it meet your needs?

5. Back Up Plan – When your sponsor is off on sick time, vacation time, family time, etc. Do they have another Sponsor or Manager covering their team? You want to make sure your potential sponsor has a back up plan. When they are off work, you don’t want to be left hanging until they return.

What not to ask your potential sponsor? You should never ask your sponsor how much money they make with the business. Why? Direct Sales is a commission style business and all consultants make a different amount of money, depending on how many parties they do, how many customers they have and how big of a team that they lead.

Look at it this way…If you went in for a job interview, would you ask your interviewer how much money they make?

Your sponsor is only required to explain to you what the commission structure is for the business. They are not required to tell you how much money they make, besides…you wouldn’t have any way to verify that information to know if it was true or false.
