Hello,
Rating our sponsor/co-sponsor should be based in your interaction between you and him/her..
-Did he/she ever give you guidance/help when you ask for it?
-Did he/she ever mail you about anything...like any indication that he's/she's been watching your progress on your activities/business?

Our sponsor/Up-lines are busy on running their business as well,so we should also be reasonable when asking/demanding their help.
So, Rating them really depends to how you two work together as a team.


Best wishes to all..

The most important thing is that you should always rate your sponsor and you should always rate him/her fairly. How should you decide on what rating to give?

Firstly, you need to consider whether your sponsor has been in touch with you. If your sponsor has not been in touch at all, this has to be taken into consideration when choosing your sponsor rating. There are many reasons why your sponsor has not been in touch and perhaps he/she has a language problem. In this regard, I think it would be a good idea to contact your sponsor with a nicely written email/team mail and discuss what you are doing and how you plan to go about it.

In the email, ask for your sponsors assistance and enquire whether they are able to help you through this. No answer…then your sponsor should receive a low rating. You also have to consider whether your sponsor is actually receiving your emails. Perhaps you can try both team mail and email to see if you get a response. Obviously, if you sponsor is reluctant to answer your emails then this would attract a low rating.

If your sponsor is communicating with you, you then need to decide just how much help he/she is giving. Is the information fair, good, awesome? Just how much help do you get. Do you get the occasional incentive? Does your sponsor offer competitions to inspire? Then you should rate your sponsor highly.

Don’t forget that the ratings are fro 1 to 5 with 1 being the lowest rating and 5 being the highest rating. No communication – give them a 1. Fair – give them a 2 or 3. Lots of informative emails and advice to you of things you didn’t know and occasional prize incentives, then rate them a 4 or 5.

Rating your sponsor also earns VP for yourself. Just remember to be fair.

Does your sponsor answer your emails for enquiry promptly?Does your sponsor provide useful answers to your questions relating to SFI business.Does your sponsor motivate and encourage you.Do you see your sponsor as your mentor in SFI?Does your sponsor provide you with leadership skills?Would you want to follow in your sponsor's footsteps in SFI.

When it comes to rating a sponsor, it is best to use what you can measure so you can be fair. For me, communication is key so I look at how many messages were sent to me throughout the month.

If I have not received any kind of communication, I see that as being a poor sponsor so I rate my sponsor low. If I see that an effort was made and I received a couple of messages, I will give a moderate level rating. And if I received communication on a regular basis (Once per week), I rate high.

Along with regular communication, I look at whether or not I needed help. If I requested help and got a response, I consider that a sign of being a good sponsor. Even if my sponsor does not know the answer, simply acknowledging that I exist goes a long way.

One more thought, it would be incredibly unfair to give a sponsor a low rating if you are not making as much money as you think you should be making. Even the best sponsors cannot increase your commissions. All they can do is be there to help if you have questions. It is up to you to build your own business so please don't punish your sponsor if you have low commissions.

As it has already been stated, you get what you earn. If you are are a good sponsor you can expect a good rating. Now being a good sponsor doesn't necessarily mean that you pander to every situation that your affiliates face but it does mean that you set the pace by your example of leadership.

When your affiliates ask you for help then you should give it liberally and without obligation. Good sponsors offer a newsletter with tips and strategies. They regularly send team mail. They don't micromanage their team. They allow for individual preference. They don't mandate rules and encumber affiliates with tons of links, resources, and recommendations. The are the epitome of excellence in everything they do.

So where the rubber meets the road, if you sponsor is doing these things rate them a 10. I know, 5 is the highest rating. Judge accordingly and rate responsibly. Remember you have team too and you are under the same scrutiny as a leader. Never just deride your sponsor or upline - you wouldn't want that treatment from your team. Do unto others as you would have them to do unto you.

I think this one is simple.It depends with the kind support that He/She gives you.For instance if he/she is;
1)Sending you weekly news letters
2)Responding to your questions whenever you don't understand something
3)Recognizes your efforts i.e congratulates you whenever you reach targets
4)Communicates to you at any time not necessarily weekly newsletters but any time he/she feels like there is something He/She wants you to know

If does all of the above then that is A GREAT SPONSOR!!!

This question is very easy.

Rating our Sponsor is awarded with a 10 action vp. An action which is advisable for any teamwork. And a 10vp is the second smallest vp award besides 1vp, which we can widely find in our SFI homepage.

My Tips:
Everyone here is going to be a Sponsor right from their first month or two. By being a sponsor ourself, we will soon know that daily working with our team consists of many Downlines under us active or unactive, the same goes to our Sponsor or CoSponsor which is also our Upline, active or unactive. We are in this, and the connection link have good value if we learn to accept things and learn what is need for us to work or help change the whole situation.
That's it. If this kind of mentality is practice, then working or understanding our customer, which has more wider optionable task will be much easier.

Lets help anyone in need.
They are our team after all, and honesty is the best friendship.
As it is said
1 is the lowest and 5 is the highest.
Of course the middle would be 3,
and anything between the middle and the highest or the lowest will be 2 or 4.
Once you rate honestly, go on talk to your sponsor, that this month his rate is such amount, respecting a Sponsor, I think if they can put more effort into this specific topic that you suggest, You will rate your sponsor a 5 in the following month.
I believe every one of us likes a 5, if only there are 10, I will rate my own Sponsor a 10 too..

A sponsor is still a same person like us. A good teamwork and a good leader isn't just how well we work with downline workers, but also how well we work with our upline bosses too, hehe, jokes, and of course how well we work with SFI, as the whole company team network.

To give an unbiased or fair rating to your sponsor, you must be aware of the responsibilities of a sponsor.
During the first few months, the sponsor should provide necessary info to understand SFI. Unless he does that, you can certainly treat him with a lower average rating.

After about 6 months in SFI or you can say after understanding the system of business, the sponsor is around you to support you with your queries and difficulties you face. But you can not expect him to keep writing you the way he used to initially. So, his support when you need must earn him a 5 star rating.

When you are fully settled in SFI and have as much as knowledge you need to be successful, the sponsor do not need to spoon feed you anymore. So you should not expect him to keep asking your problems. You must contact him when you have problem and he must answer you with solutions. If he responds in time and with ideas, certainly he earns a 5 star.

Through this question, I would like to explore the fact that providing a Gift Certificate or TCredits do not earns the sponsor a 5 star. The only thing that earns a higher rating is SUPPORT TO GROW YOUR BUSINESS.

A sponsor's role in SFI should not be underestimated neither should it be over-rated.

I have a first hand experience of taking my SFI business forward without any assistance from my Sponsor. However, I also realize that my downlines rely on me to provide sometimes, a direction, encouragement when things are tough, a positive feedback all the time and my ability as a Sponsor to support my team is very vital. When I did not have all this, I moved to my up-line support team member to seek assistance. Their advice at the right time can make a difference to the affiliate's approach towards the SFI business.

I am a Sponsor and when I talk to my team members through the communication channels open in SFI, I make it known to them that I am available at any time to provide them with any help they need. It is not a robotic communication. I mean what I say. This would be my primary yardstick when I assess my Sponsor.

Whenever my team members achieve a milestone in their day to day activity, I make sure that I applaud them on their achievements. They feel good and are happy to receive acknowledgement - that is the basis on which I would like my team to move forward and work harder. This is another point on which I would assess my Sponsor. This takes me back to communication!

If my Sponsor joined before I did, there would be a slight edge and advantage he/she would have in terms of being more experienced and providing the right advice without asking. Keeping in touch with team members is vital at the same time allowing them to work independently would be a good strategy.

These are some of the areas I would see before rating my Sponsor.

The figure of the sponsor is essential in the process of realization. His suggestions come from experience. The Sponsor has field-proven what works, did training, tested the method of work and knows the many pitfalls that you will find along the way. Sponsor inspires and leads by example.

The sponsor must have a clear goal. You can have the best marketing plan, you can be the best company in the market but unless you have clear in your head what you want you will not go very far. Always remember that everything you have available are tools, but to be successful you have to know how to use them. Only a clear goal, put on paper and a burning desire to achieve it will turn these tools into powerful means to reach the goal.

The sponsor should be proud of their company. "You are the product of the products". And 'one of the pillars of SFI, who joins a networking company because it has experienced first products was very enthusiastic and wants to share them. And 'the passion, the pleasure is the pride of being part of something. Maybe that's why you do not say work in network marketing but are in network marketing?

The sponsor is training. For me training and success they are closely tied. You can not think to accomplish a goal without form. You can not think of me up a network marketing business and remain firm to the pole with the basic knowledge or even be convinced that everything will fall from the sky. Successful people invest the majority of their time to form, participate in events, read books, personal growth is part of their DNA.

The sponsor inspires others. Successful people inspire others to be their own success. If you want to be a successful person inspires others, let their light shine, help them to bring out their qualities, portals beyond their limits with your example and with your actions.

If all that you see in your sponsor, the evaluation can only be five stars, that is the maximum.
