When you are looking to get into direct sales, one of the most important decisions that you can make is the person you sign up with. This person is there to help you to achieve your goals, to motivate you, and pick you up when you are down with your business. But a great debate exists as to which is better, someone who is local to you or something who is further away. Both have their benefits and downsides, which will be explored here.
Pros of a Local Sponsor
One of the biggest advantages of having a local sponsor is that you can get together with them for help and assistance. If you don’t know how a product works, or if you need to borrow something for an event, you can contact them and see if they will help you out. With a local sponsor, you can do events together and split the cost. Sometimes you are not able to do an event, or your sponsor can’t, so you can help each other out in this situation.
