This is a very interesting questions, and there is more than one answer to it. I would say - it depends on many things.
Firstly, a good sponsor / co-sponsor can be most helpful in the beginning, during the first or second month in SFI. Their support and guidance can save you time and energy if they direct you to all the actions you should do. Secondly, it is encouraging if your sponsor / co-sponsor praise your early efforts and achievements. Simple messages, such as "Congratulations!" or "Well done!" mean a lot to a beginner, they can show you that you are on the right way to make a success in this business.
On the other hand, SFI has all the materials prepared for a person determined to do this business. If a person wants to work, he/she will work, with or without a sponsor. Launchpad lessons explain what needs to be done step by step. There are marketing aids and methods prepared and explained, there is VPLedger to track points, and Forum where answers for virtually any possible question can be found.
In conclusion, I can say this: it is important to have a good sponsor and co-sponsor, but they are not a must - the whole SFI community acts as a sponsor for someone who is willing to learn and work.
