DETERMINE COMMITMENT LEVEL:

2) How long have you been with your current company or business?

3) What products / services of your company or business do you use? (If they don’t use the products or service, that says something about their commitment or their belief in it. If they don’t use the product, it can also be an indicator of a pyramid scheme – they are just trying to get you to “join their business”.

4) Are you part-time or full-time?

5) How much do you commit per week to your business?

6) Do you have a desire to work your business full-time in the near future?

9) What is your monthly marketing budget?

11) Tell me why you would be the best small business partner for me?

You’re about to lay down your money and time. They should be able to answer all of the questions and should not be afraid to talk about any of these areas. You’ll also get a pretty good feel about the person you’re about to work.
