Don't Sponsor Desperate People

The bottom line is simple – don’t sponsor desperate people. “If they have a need, give them a job. If they have a desire, give them an opportunity.”

In network marketing, we don’t offer jobs. We offer an opportunity. Needy people are usually desperate. Sponsoring them is the wrong thing to do for the wrong reason. Their needs are more immediate than network marketing can satisfy.

This goes against the grain if you’re a compassionate person. But recognize reality here. Network marketing is planting a crop, not cooking a meal. It will take time and effort to ensure a harvest. These people are starving. They need food NOW. You simply don’t have what they need right now, and you serve them falsely if you tell them you do. Help them, by all means, to find a solution to their immediate need. THEN help them provide for their future needs by introducing them to network marketing. It’s always easier to preach to a person with a full belly than an empty one.

“Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.” Matthew 7:6
