5 Questions to Ask Your Sponsor To Find Out How Genuine They Are And Whether They Will Be Around Tomorrow To Help You

The purpose of these questions is to profile your sponsor so you can gauge their integrity through piecing their answers together. It is important that you come from an assertive position when delivering these questions remembering that the focus is not to collect information about the program but to analyze your sponsors mindset, attitude and integrity. You will then be able to make a judgment on whether they will be a good match to mentor you.

Questions:

#1 - Ask them what they know about the history of the their program.

This is not because you want the answer to that question. It is because if they have knowledge about things such as the founder, how long the program has been running, and up coming events etc. then this will indicate there level of involvement in gifting.

#2 - Ask how long they have been in the program and why it would be beneficial partnering in their team as opposed to someone elses.

The purpose of this question is not catch them out as being total newbie, because everyone has to start somewhere. It can be okay to join with newer person. You want to gauge from their answer, their commitment and their entire teams commitment to your training and success. Find out exactly what is on the table outside of the standard gifting program. You are building a case to assess whether you will get the help that you need.

#3 - Ask your sponsor what their goals are why they see cash gifting to be a vehicle to achieve them. Also, ask whether they are on track to achieving those goals.

Most people with a "get rich quick" mentality have no time bound or specific financial goals.

If your sponsor is serious about succeeding in cash gifting you will notice from their answer that they will have specific financial goals set against a time line. Most likely they will be linked back to a greater emotional need. This is very important for you to know, as shallow minded people that want money for money's sake without having strong goals in place generally do not do the work to achieve success. If your sponsor can not demonstrate specific long term goals then I would advise for you to join with someone else.

#4 - Ask them straight up what their availability is for one on one coaching and how often they will be available to contact via email or instant messenger.

You will always need help in the early days so it is important for you know when and how often you will be able to may contact with your sponsor for assistance. To give you an idea I am available on Skype a lot of the time but are always available between 7.00pm and 8.30pm. I respond to emails daily and I am available for phone coaching by appointment. If your sponsor can not commit then you should run the other way.

#5 - Ask them what it would mean to them if none of their team members were succeeding. How would they feel about that and what would they do to change that.

This question will certainly catch them off guard as it would be totally unexpected. As a prospect, by asking this, you are not fishing for a hand out from them if failure was the case, but you are listening to the way the question is handled as this will be a strong indicator to see where their heart is.
