What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to Exit's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, Sales Representatives within the Exit system cannot designate themselves as their own sponsor. It is mandatory for each Sales Representative to be sponsored into the Exit System by another individual. Additionally, the document specifies that two Sales Representatives cannot sponsor each other.
The process of introducing a person to the Exit System, who is subsequently hired by a Franchise as an Exit Associate, is known as "Sponsoring." The person responsible for this introduction is called the "Sponsor" and may be eligible for a Sponsoring Bonus. This bonus is equivalent to 10% of the gross commissions generated by the new recruit.
This policy ensures that there is always an established network of support and mentorship within Exit. By preventing self-sponsorship, Exit aims to foster a collaborative environment where experienced members guide new recruits, contributing to the overall quality and ethical standards of the sales force.
