Initial actions of new affiliates can be misleading and their value to you should not be judged on that. Their real value will only become apparent during their second or third month.
Some new affiliates start off with a bang. They get the Fast Track Bonus and make EA within days. As soon as they hit their second month and find it a bit more difficult to accumulate enough VP, they lose interest.
By this time you have spent a lot of time on encouraging and mentoring them, while the slow starters may have needed more of your time. We must remember that not all new affiliates have access to a personal computer and then there is also the language problem.
Therefor I have learnt to not just writeoff the slow starters. They may have various hurdles to overcome. I have a few PSA's who are really working against the odds, but they have not given up. It may take them a while, but with effective leadership they may be the ones who succeed.
