When Your Sponsor Doesn’t Offer Support
Hopefully, before you invested in your business opportunity, you took the time to investigate that opportunity, and to ensure that your sponsor would stick around to offer you support. Unfortunately, things are not always what they seem to be, and you may have now found that your sponsor actually is not offering the support that you need in order to succeed. If you find yourself in this situation, what should you do?
- Make sure that you have made a true effort to contact your sponsor and to garner support from them. Keep trying until you feel that you have tried everything. Try email, telephone, and instant messenger. Leave messages wherever you can.
- Contact your sponsors sponsor. It is important to find out who the sponsors are, all the way up the line when you first come into the business. If your sponsor drops from the face of the earth, you can usually get support from their sponsor, or from the next sponsor up the line.
- Contact other members of your sponsors down line. It could be that your sponsor has had some sort of emergency, and has been unable to contact all of their members. Try to find out if something is going on that is only causing your sponsor a temporary lapse in offering support. If nothing else, you and the other members can offer each other support, or go in together to find a new sponsor for all of you.
- Contact the top sponsors, or the company directly, to find out if you can be moved under an active sponsor. Often, companies will do this in order to help their members succeed, even though the sponsor has dropped from sight. Before you do this, however, make sure that your sponsor has no intention of offering any additional support. You don’t want to make enemies.
- There really are nice people in the world who are willing to help, even if they won’t benefit from offering that help. Keep searching up the line until you find such a person. However, if you cannot find such a person within your organization, offer a top sponsor a portion of your earnings in exchange for help. This will at least get you to the point where you no longer need the support, without having to throw in the towel.
- Don’t give up. Obviously, you’ve invested money, and you want to make that money back – at the very least. However, have faith in yourself and realize that if you have what it takes to make your initial investment back, you have what it takes to make your business opportunity a success. Just keep doing what you’re doing, but do it on a greater scale.
If your sponsor stops offering support, don’t despair. You simply have to find a way around this problem in order to succeed. It does not by any means mean that you cannot succeed at your business opportunity, or that you cannot help others to succeed as well.
