I do want to add in here that written communication while being very important, nothing compares to live online training. Especially if you are going to promote your business on the internet. What a better place to learn the art of internet marketing than in live online conference rooms.
A successful sponsor will take the time to figure out what your passion is to bring out the best in you. In turn this will make your business grow faster than if there wasn't anything fueling that drive to succeed.
I have found new business associates need to have a very strong why they want to do the business otherwise there is a pretty good chance they will fail.
Statistics say 98% of all people who say they want to start a busines will fail. A good sponsor will be able to get to the real reason you are doing your business and motivate and keep you going.

VERY well put barefoot! That is exactly why I choose my team members very carefully. I do not wish to be working with people that will fail. I truly believe that ANYONE with the desire can and will be successful in this business. Truly the only way to fail is to quit, but you need that strong, knowledgable and caring director there that will remind you to keep going, that challenges are just that, that you have a very good WHY to stay on track and keep focus. But nothing worth having is ever easily gained. Its SIMPLE, but its not easy! Otherwise, everyone would be successful.
The successful entrepreneurs in this business or others are those that have looked at obstacles, challenges and mistakes as lessons and opportunities for improvement. I believe it vital for your mentor of choice to be able to show you that, so you can remain solution orientated and grow stronger, and feel better and more confident through each and every challenge. We ALL have had to learn our lessons and find our path. We are all ordinary people, who have realized our potential to be extraordinary and seized it!
As a very famous man once said "Carpe Diem!"
Thanks for that!
Jani Teeter L3 Director, CSG

Bottom Line...
If you think about choosing your sponsor just like you would a place of employment. You wouldn't go to work for someone who didn't have a clue what they are doing.
This might seem kind of blunt but the same goes for choosing a sponsor you want to choose someone who you have something in common with, someone who you can relate with, someone who if you sat next to each other at an social event you could carry on a good conversation with and enjoy yourself.
One of the best marketing tips I can offer to people who want to become an awesome sponsor is to build a "who is" or "bio" page you can send prospects to. This way prospects can learn a little bit more about them and see if there is a good fit. If they don't see anything they like that's OK, there are plenty of other fish in the sea.

Quoting: ESS Why is franchising the most successful business model? It is because there is a system to follow which includes ongoing support and training(mentoring). The home business arena attracts many folks who are not self motivating or business savvy. Thus if there is not a strong mentoring program, or upline mentor, to guide them they give up/quit, or as the negatroids call it, fail. It is important that you find a sponsor who is willing to take you by the hand and lead you every step of the way. That sponsor does not have to be super successful, yet. But they should give you the indication that they are being mentored by their upline and that they are strictly following a successful system themselves.
Excellent post!
I agree, what tools and systems the Director has in place and is using to some degree of success is very important, how could a construction worker do his job without the right tools and systems? An analogy, yes, but to BUILD a business you need tools and systems in place.
Never was this brought home for me as it was just recently, my daughter is an administrator in a doctors office, she had 2 new hires and called me in to help train the new hires. My daughter is very organized and the tools and systems she had in place helped me to train the new hires, it was a breeze. And the new hires were up and running faster and were more productive because of the tools and system.
Training tools, systems, the how and why, experience in marketing and advertising, product knowledge, printed materials, flyers, business cards, brochures, etc etc is just as important to choosing a Director to sponsor you as how long they have been with Coastal or how many members they have recruited, be careful of the Director who's obviously more interested in the recruiting side and is heavily advertising etc for new recruits you can always tell the heavy hitter recruiters, by their message, if that is their major focus they may not be there for you when you need them.
Hope this helps to get another opinion and see it from a different point of view!
Thank you
Terri

Did you know there are actually giving people on this forum and in Coastal that are giving people who will help you not because of "what's in it for me" but because they genuinley want to help??
Really!!
At the risk of embarrasing them, Kudo's to Harold and Roger and all the rest who help for the sake of helping.
Thanks Guys!!
Bless you!
Terri

The only people who don't recommend Level 3 are the people who could not afford Level 3, which is a direct indication of their success with Coastal.
MOST people would go with the level 3 membership, however their financial situation is the only thing that keeps people from going in that direction.
