There are a lot of business out there today, and people looking to work from home almost have too many options. That's why it makes more sense not to look for a great business, but to look for a great mentor. A great mentor will ensure you succeed in your efforts to work from home, whereas a great business will provide you nothing if you don't get the guidance you need to really succeed.
What Is a Great Mentor?
You'll be able to spot a great mentor almost right away. If you've contacted the member of your work at home opportunity who is trying to recruit you, you'll see some major differences between a great mentor and someone who is just trying to convert you into a sale so they can succeed at your expense.
A Real Mentor Is Interested In You
When you're having your initial contact with your contact from the company you've chosen, what kind of language are they using? Are they telling you everything about their product, giving you all the stats on how it works and what it does? Are they telling you all the ways that you can benefit from it and why you need it? If you're asking those questions, then fine, but if they're just interested in converting you to a sale, you'll know. A great mentor will ask questions about you. Where you're from. What got you interested in their business. What made you choose the home business model. How you can come up with a custom tailored plan that works for you. By being more concerned with how to help you, rather than how to put money in their own pockets, real mentors show their true colours and when you can identify them, you're on the fast track to success. Then you'll be able to work from home and actually make money, because a mentor such as this will turn you into a mentor as well.
What a Mentor Does When You've Joined Forces
So if you've identified a person as a mentor that can help you win at working from home, you've gotten past the first hurdle. Now, what does a mentor do for you after you've joined forces? As much as possible, your recruiter/mentor/upline should be directing you to material and training that will make you into what they are, a mentor. It's not enough in today's market to just be a great salesman. People don't want to be sold. They want to learn, and if you're a good teacher, then what you have to offer is far more valuable than any product you might be peddling. Whatever you've got is just a means to an end, because it's the one-on-one coaching, training, and guidance that separates the salesmen from the mentors. Mentors should make it their personal business to see that you succeed. It benefits them too, because by making you find a way to work from home successfully, they ensure that you are someone who's going to spread the word of how great they are.
