1. It’s important to connect with a network marketing sponsor who absolutely has YOUR best interests at heart.

2. Are they coming from a recruiter’s mentality or do they understand that true success revolves around training, developing, and mentoring (sponsoring) their new business partner?

3. Do they have a turn-key system in place already to mentor and develop you and the team you build? This consideration is of crucial importance because remember although network marketing may be a business of relationships if there is no MARKETING that takes place then there are no potential business partners to build a relationship with.
