Sponsor Vs. Mentor: Which One Are You?

Please Rate and Comment below. I appreciate feedback so I can continue offering the most valuable information possible to you!

You May “Just Be A Sponsor” if:

* You know the exact number of people in your organization, but cannot name many people. Worse yet, you honestly can’t call any one of them a friend.

* You come back from vacation and your inbox is flooded with emails, and voicemail is full of messages from your downline asking for help, and they have no idea that you were away.

* When a downline member does get in touch with you, and asks for help, you refer them to someone else to talk to, or give them a link to the company’s corporate training just to appease them.

However, you are most definitely a “Valued Mentor” if:

* You not only know the names of many of your teammates, but know stories about their families as well.

* You come back from vacation with your inbox filled with good wishes and inquiries to how your trip was. Or also likely is that the trip you just took included members of your team who went also.

* You are not only available to give time to your teammates to brainstorm and troubleshoot, but you are also pro-active in your coaching and you’re continually sending emails offering tips and helpful information about how to be better at what they do.

There are countless examples I could give, but the bottom line is anyone with an advertising budget and some telephone skills can sponsor many people into their business, and be financially successful, but a mentor who works to lift up their team and shine the spotlight on them will enjoy a far more rewarding and enriching experience as a leader in this industry.
