The first place you would go to identify if your affiliate has the potential of becoming a star in SFI would be his/her Affiliate Snapshot/Profile. There you will be able to see if that potential exists based on their General Information, Work Experience, Business Strategy and Goals.

A good sign would be your affiliate member is a self starter not requiring much guidance because of his/her knowledge and experience in Affiliate Marketing or MLM. In such an instance you may need to adjust your strategy in some areas when providing your assistance.

By monitoring their VP Ledger you'll be able to tell allot about how the person works. If your affiliate is logging in daily, doing everything is an orderly and balanced way then you may have a star in the making. Be ready to reward your top movers with incentives, rewards and recognition for achieving certain milestones. Develop a friendship were ever possible. Be reliable and a constant business companion to your top movers.

If your affiliate already has considerable experience in advertising and marketing strategies they will likely already have numerous prospects and resources to help them achieve fast growth.

Even without this experienced background in affiliate marketing you could still have a gem in the making. You may have sponsored someone that is just super focused, learns quickly and has his/her mind set on succeeding in this business partnership with you and SFI.

When ever you have an affiliate that has never known any kind of work other than working for boss will need to be directed to reading content that will change their thinking. You will need to assist them in changing their employee driven mindset into that of an entrepreneurial driven mindset. Those with employee mindsets will likely have a skewed perception that causes them to think this business is a big risk when it is not.

Always work with your workers and stay focused.

Hello Theodore

Becoming a Star in SFI is not that easy. You can not just find out with in a short period who will become a SFI star and who would not, unless you wait for at least few months for a particular affiliate to show his/her signs of becoming a SFI Star.

In my opinion the would be SFI Star will have the following signs:

1. Will complete his profile within 24 hours.
2. He scores more than than 500 VPs in 24 hours of joining.
3. He logs in daily, and within his 10 days of joining buys a fast track with 1500 VP as a standing order.
4. He logs in to forum daily and starts asking questions regarding SFI or TC etc.
5. Plays eager zebra games daily.
6. Starts sponsoring affiliates under him.
7. Starts making few sales on TripleClicks.com
8. If he/she often asks questions in ASK_SC.
9. Makes A2A friends from the day one.
10. Contacts you as often as possible by phone, PM or through email etc.
11. With all the qualities in him you must understand that you have sponsored an affiliate who would be a SFI Star in your down line in the forth coming months.

Hope it helps

Cheers !!

Before you go on identifying your affiliates the skills that could help them become stars in SFI, it only make sense to get to know them very well. It requires your time, patience, persistence, determination and commitment to establish close relationship between you and your affiliates.

In order to evaluate your affiliates’ skill, you need to do the following actions and observations about them:

- How motivated are they?

Go to your Genealogy to get an overview about your affiliates’ performance. Are they logging in everyday?

- In terms of VPs, what’s an affiliate VP(Y) = Total VP an affiliate accumulated the previous day, VP(T) = Total VP an affiliate accumulated to date, VP(M) = Total VP an affiliate has accumulated for current month and VP(L) Total VP an affiliate has accumulated for the previous month?

- What is their status in terms of overall/country/class Power Rank?

- Are they participating in the SFI Forum and Ask SC?

- Have they started setting up their S-Builder Co-op? How many of them have become Fast-Track members?

- How many hours are they putting in with their SFI business?

You can monitor your affiliates’ activities through their VP Ledgers and form your opinion, which of your affiliates need more support to help him/her acquire the skill he/she is lacking. The VP Ledger of your affiliates helps you identify which of your affiliates is performing each of the actions list.

- Are they gaining new skills and widening their knowledge base?

This will include Internet Income course training, learning to promote SFI with the marketing tools, reviewing SFI Power Tools, etc.

Your observations about the performance of each one of your affiliates can easily be identified through his/her sporting of badges. The more badges your affiliate possessed the more active he/she is and most likely become a star in SFI.

The most important skills that relate to affiliates who can become successful would be pertaining to their interest and conviction. Now, how do we identify them?
When an affiliate joins the team, be vigilant to see their activities for next 7days.
- Completing their profile and other getting started activities.
- Their regularity at attaining AVP’s
- Their response to your welcome message; your offer for assistance mails and informative mails (E365, Fast Track, Launchpad lessons, importance of forum presence, importance of VP etc).
- The questions and doubts they come up with
- Their response towards purchasing NMP or Standing Order
- Their presence at the forum
If you find the above indicators ticking, it ensures the affiliate is interested and can go a long way. It is here the sponsor’s guidance and assistance can make them future stars in SFI.

This is a great question.

One of the best places to start is with a thorough review of your affiliate's profile page. Engage with them in regular dialogue. Learn as much as you can about them, not only from a business perspective, but personal as well.

Where does your affiliate live? Do they have a family? What prompted them to look for a business opportunity? Out of all the opportunities available, what made them choose SFI?

These are all appropriate questions you can ask your affiliates. By asking personal questions, you are demonstrating to your affiliates that you care about them individually, not just as another pay check.

Through your affiliate's profile page, you can learn about what, if any, prior business experience they have, what marketing skills they possess, what their goals are, etc.

Identifying the skills necessary for success often requires being able to decipher what they are telling you. Let's say that through your dialogues, your affiliate tells you that they enjoy playing sports and was a team captain during their four years of college. This would demonstrate that your affiliate already possesses leadership skills from being a sports team captain, and that they knew how to lead their team to victory as they were able to retain the role of team captain for four years.

I hope this has helped to answer your question.

Hi Sean,

To identify skills in affiliates is by studying their Affiliate Snapshots. Besides their names, contact numbers, primary language and their country, lots of information can be found in their VP Ledgers and Affiliate Profiles.
To make my explanation simple and easy to understand, I will associate actions done by the affiliates with a specified skill possibly they possess:

i. VPs earned constantly and improving – Skill: They understand the basics and are persistent.

ii. Daily, weekly and monthly actions completed – Skill: They follow the basics, do duplication and productive.
Points collected in Eager Zebra Games and won some badges related to it – Skill: They are apt to playing games. You can encourage your affiliates to purchase more TCredits to get maximum AVP here.
Points accumulated in downloading TC musics – Skill: Musics lover or they may know how to play a certain kind of a musical instrument.
Points accumulated from Pricebenders Auctions or have a Pricebender Auction Winner Badge – Skill: Know how to bid and possibly good at money management which is essential in affiliate marketing..

Encourage your affiliates to focus on what they love to do because they will earn points and thus can increase their rank.

iii. Getting Started Actions.
Liking and following SFI and TripleClicks in Twitter and FB – Skill: Your affiliates are good at socializing and will develop social and communications skills, which may help them to attract others to join SFI.

iv. Read LaunchPads and collect points after answering questions – Skill: Good readers and encourage them to do further reading to be all rounders.

v. Intermediate actions. Installed TC banner at their sites/blogs – Skill: They are knowledgeable in and good at technical issues. Encourage them to enhance their site contents and use their creative skill to increase its search engine optimization.

vi. TripleClicks. Purchased TCredits and some products at TripleClicks – Skill: Know how to carry out buying and collect VPs. Encourage them to invest at an affordable amount of money so that they will feel comfortable and confident in building up their business.
Approved ECA – Skill: They are real movers, good decision makers and risk takers. Encourage them to improve their ECAs regularly and promote their products so that in the end they will make sales and get commissions.

All those actions done by your affiliates can be found in their Affiliate Snapshots and these together with some information from the Affiliate Profiles, will serve as an identification for you to build stars among them and also to improve their business and yours too. If your affiliate does not have any of those skills, you have to help them to develop each one, even slowly…

Identifying shills that an affiliate may have to become stars can be done by carefully monitoring their daily activities.

Watching their VP ledger on a daily bases will help you see the skills that your affiliate has. Are they doing more than required each day? Are they gaining sales VP without you suggesting to them to purchase products?

Knowing their VP ledger will help you guide your affiliate to being a star in SFI. You will easily recognize who is a star because they will be found in your movers list.

Another good sign to take notice of is; if your PSA (Personally Sponsored Affiliate) answering any of your emails or replying on your stream post? If they are then you probably found someone who is going to be around awhile.

Also pay attention to the questions they are asking you. If they are asking questions that are found in the basic start up then you will know that they are not reading careful enough to understand what is needed. Or there can be a language problem that needs some attention by you to help translate information for them.

If your PSA is using the forum – read their questions or answers, this will help you in being able to understand the things you PSA is needing or how far advanced they are by reading their good answers.

Remember most of the “Diamonds” that we find will start out as a lump of coal. So do not overlook anyone if they do not match up to being a “star.” There are many stars in SFI that took a while for their light to shine bright enough for their sponsor to see it.

To identify skills you must build a relationship with your affiliates. Too many affiliates want to run their business on remote. Business is proactive so you must be proactive when it comes to building relationships and learning your team. You have to send out a series of communications that ask the right questions. Never send communication to your affiliates just for the sake of points. You need to learn why they do what they do and help them achieve their goals. The only way to know what skills someone has is to ask them what skills they have. Ask what kind of experiences they have had in networking, advertising, selling, marketing, etc. Find out if they have college or if they are married with kids. All of these will help you determine skill sets and how they can best be utilized to grow their business. You can use the profile to do some of this. But first hand data will be acquired when you address the issue through a series of effective communication. Then you can use that information to help polish them into the 'stars' you would love for them to become.

Skillful members in the team is what everyone hope to have and dream of.It is very important (almost crucial) to recognize those members on time and pay more attention to them (as said,"work with workers").

What are the skills that such person should have?
In my opinion,it's these abilities:
- to learn new things
- to focus on work
- to have positive view on oneself,as well on the job and the company
- to communicate with others
- to listen and follow what is being told
- to start,keep going and not to stop
- to successfully solve problems on the way
And other abilities,beside these ones.


How to identify those skills in someone?

I would advise you to watch these parameters and criteria:
1. First and foremost - logging every day and performing at least daily actions.Doing so will:
- start process of duplication (even that person's might still not be aware of that)
- building reputation (earning badges,advancing in E365 contest,increasing power rank,etc.)
- building "business" mindset (creating attitude to treat this opportunity as a real job)
Just to name few major advantages of doing minimum from "To do" list.

2. Completing all (or almost all) other getting-started actions (and later weekly,monthly,intermediate actions and Launchpad).Among which these are most important (for a new member):
- confirming your registration
- whitelisting [email protected]
- completing your Affiliate Profile
- sending your SFI Commitment Message to your sponsor
- uploading your photo to the Affiliate Center
Because those are the preconditions for becoming "Fast Track" member.

3. Advancing in each and every way.I'll just list couple of things:
- becoming Fast Track member (e.g. ordering New Member's Pack),becoming W3 member,putting a standing order,S-Builder Co-op
- earning different badges
- passing the rounds ("green line") in E365 contest
- winning Pricebender's auction(s),playing and winning Eager Zebra games
- opening ECA store
- building his own/her own team
- advertising and marketing SFI and/or Tripleclicks,by marketing aids and methods from SFI web-site (Gift Cards distribution and the rest)
All in all,following your plan of success or even creating their own plan (under your supervision).

4. Active in communication.Which,for example,means:
- asking questions on various topics (how SFI works,how to earn here,develop business,open ECA store...etc.) and eagerly waiting for an answer
- answering your e-mails,team messages,chat sessions,joining your Facebook group (if you have such),attending webinars

5. Being present in the community:
- showing each day on your "movers" list
- making and enhancing number of "a2a" friends
- taking part in posting in the SFI Forum (and also getting "likes" for posting)

6. Not stopping after first failure.Even that our affiliate may face with some kind of failure at some point of time,he/she will not stop (and cry like a baby,refusing to start again),but will have strength to overcome the problem and continue to grow his/her business.


The more of above said one has,just keep on expanding his/her abilities and the more likely is that he or she will become "a star" (future Diamond).

I have a perfect example to understand that you must know your affiliates first before you can assess them and realise that they can use their skills in the SFI program.

Over a year ago, after I joined SFI, I wanted to recruit another member but she kept on delaying her sign up - Outside SFI, I knew her well enough to know that she had the experience having been in other marketing assignments that she would be able to handle this business. I was right. She joined and we are still together in the team.

- get to know your affiliates at a personal level
- build a long term relationship by being helpful as a friend
- work besides them, not on top of them - do not intimidate them
- handle them with care because once they are in your team, they will support you wholly.
- be patient with your downlines, some of them need this

Encourage them to move forward as friends and you will strengthen your team with the synergy that requires you to become successful. Create a friendly atmosphere of pleasure and concern to enable them to look upto you for guidance.

There are many occasions when you develop those skills by tapping on the potential of our affiliates through regular interaction. They may have inherent qualities that become apparent when they are placed in challenging circumstances. Be there for them and you will know their strengths and help them overcome their weaknesses!
