Firstly, I don’t think that you should “willy nilly” be sending out invites to all and sundry. The Designated Diamond program is designed to help your team members who are already showing some promise.

Anyone who receives an invite is more or less committed to doing well. It is an obligation. Some team members might be frightened off by it.

You need to go through your list of PSAs in your Genealogy and select some team members who have been logging in every day and who have earned VP. Particularly choose those who have a Standing Order as this shows they are serious about their business.
Then, in your Genealogy you can make your selections and send the invites.

If you would like an invitation yourself and you have not received one from your Sponsor, then send him/her a polite email to say that you would like to be considered. I would imagine that your Sponsor would be pleased to send you an invite as if you do well, then so do they. It’s a win win situation all round. This is definitely a great addition to SFI.

You are much more apt to find a successful candidate for becoming a diamond if the person was a self-starter and is presently active. How much effort and time did you have to put into getting him really interested in working SFI?

Is there open communication between the two of you or do you ask all the questions and his answers are three words? A 5 year, 60 month, commitment is a long time to be working without direction.

If you have offered contests or rewards, has he been eager for the challenge? Did he win at all costs?

Is he easy to teach the ways to success at SFI or is he stubborn and insistent on doing things his own way?If he won't easily follow you, he won't learn the value and ways of duplication.

Is he faithfully logging in and gathering all available VPs?How long is his ? How often does he break it?

IF you have doubts about inviting someone, stop before you send out the invitations and determine what requirements you should insist on before you agree to the invite. Then write a pre-invitation letter and state your requirements and that they must be met before an invitation is offered.

There might be future Diamonds lurking among your in-active PSAs, but they will be harder to find. Send them an informative letter about the DD opportunity and your requirements. If they read it and if they are interested, they will appear on your Movers List. Grab them and try to begin a conversation.

The DD program is a fantastic innovation and I believe that it’s going to do great things for SFI. It involves a long term commitment by the sponsor and the PSA to work closely together to achieve DTL.

As I am going to invest a lot of my time with my DD affiliates, I have issued invitations only to those who I believe are worthy candidates and have the makings of Diamond Team Leaders.

After careful consideration, I have selected my DDs based on the following:

- Must be EA2. This demonstrates a certain amount of commitment.
- Must have a Standing Order. This to me already demonstrates a certain amount of commitment to achieve EA each month.
- Must have recruited at least 5 PSAs on his/her team and continuing recruiting
- They must be willing to learn and also to teach their team members.
- They must be communicators. If they do not talk to me chances are they will not talk with their team members. There is no point in them being on the DD program.
- They must demonstrate passion and drive to grow their businesses. If they are achieving EA by simply playing games and nothing else to grow their businesses, they will not be invited to the program.
- They must be consistently active within SFI.
- I take into account: their team activities; Forum/ASK SC participation; SFI badges; VP Streak; EA Streak; Fast Track etc..

My invitations to the Designated Diamonds program are only for those who I assess as having met the majority of the requirements above. They are always found at the ‘Movers’ tab.

Thanks for this question.

1. The concept of "Designated Diamonds" is purely based on commitment.

2. Commitment from the Sponsor side for the growth of the chosen Team Member.

3. Commitment from the chosen Team Member towards the Sponsor.

4. The commitment is sticking to certain tasks to be fulfilled spread over a period of time by
advancing from one level to the next level ultimately to the top most level of a "Diamond Team
Leader" by the chosen member.

5. The sponsor's commitment towards the Diamond Designated Member is to guide/help/assist by
all means possible and stand by the member till such time the goal is achieved.

For broader understanding of this amazing New Year Gift to all of us, please visit and read here:
http://news.sfimg.com/2016/01/01/new-for-2016-designated-diamonds-program/

Having understood the basics of this program, now whom should be invited from among the many Team Member we have:

1. The person who is an EA (Minimum qualification prescribed) & The issuer should be
EA2 and not a DTL already;

2. Commitment level towards Growth;

3. Communication level with the Sponsor;

4. Determination to be at least an EA every month;

5. Demonstration of seriousness about SFI;

6. Willingness to adhere to Time Plan to reach committed goals;

7. Eager to work closely with the Sponsor;

8. Attitude of "Not giving up mid way through".

Conclusion:

Just look for these qualities and send the invitation to such affiliates in your Team. If you study their Genealogy Report vis a vis the Movers List, you will be able to know whom should designed and work closely with.

Once you decided, please start working very closely. Explain everything about the DD program. Monitor the progress at different stages and support where ever necessary. That's it!! You got a DTL and you have also grown tremendously in the process!!

I believe there are numerous qualities that should be considered and they are probably relative to our personal perceptions.

The areas that I consider the most important are participation, communication, and the member’s “Why”.

By participation, I mean being a part of most all the aspects of SFI. To name a few: Is the member doing their daily actions, the weekly actions, the monthly actions, and completing as much as they can on the “To-Do” List? Is the member playing the Eager Zebra games? Is the member joining in the auctions at price vendors? Is the member participating in the other contest in SFI? Is the member engaged in the discussions in the Forum? You can find out how much a member is participating by reviewing their ledger.

Communication is an important part of any team and it has to be both ways. Are you in regular contact with the member? Does the member respond to your emails, posts, streams and other type of messages? Does the member send you messages, questions and/or ask you your opinion of something? Being able to communicate with your PSA’s is a solid foundation for working together.

The last area I think is most important is the members “Why”. Once you know what is motivating the member to be successful in this program, then you can really help and guide them towards reaching that desire. When a member tells you their “Why”, they have shared a personal part of themselves with you. This validates a sense of trust that should not be taken lightly but respected and appreciated.

The Designated Diamond program is long-term so remember the commitment you and your PSA will share as you both work towards Diamond Team Leader. Take the time to make a list of qualities you feel are important before you start sending out your invitations.

From the moment a commitment message is received, I will review the personal details of the PSA in their Affiliate Profile Snapshot.

The Score on their PS will also reveal something of their personalities and abilities and what they expect from SFI.

The comments if they wrote it own, will also tell what they want their sponsor/upline to know about them.

So before sending an invitation for the Designated Diamond program, look at your Movers List. It will show you-

. If they’re regularly appearing on your Movers List and not missing a day
. Are earning more than the daily VPS of 11- 15 VPs,
. If they had requalified and secured their rank on the first week of the month.
. Their current rank and if they're diligently working to move up.

Then check your Genealogy. to learn more of your candidates. If they're sponsoring/recruiting PSAS on their own- the details of their PSAs will be listed under Gen. 2, and if duplicating properly, will have more on Gen.3, etc.

If they have a Standing Order, their TC sales, if any.

If they're always asking for directions, guidance, and is constantly in touch with you, by team mail, SFI Chat, or by social media, are participating regularly in the Forum, and contributing to the Ask SC by submitting answers no matter how difficult it is for them but because they are willing to try are indications of very good candidates.

If they're faithfully following your advice and guidance, are ambitious, go-getter, enthusiastic and committed.

These are excellent candidates for DD invitation and you must not hesitate in giving it to them.

I want a great team - so I will use the DD invitation to reward my movers.

Nobody can guarantee that it will keep you affiliate working and active but if they worked before this came along chances are that they will keep on working.

I will send the invitation only to an affiliate that reached EA for at least 2 months.
I will also send the invitation to an affiliate with a SO

I would rather keep / hold back on those invites before I send them to an affiliate that is not serious about their business.

I decided that it will be awarded as a prize in a challenge - I just want to get my ducks in a row and work out how to do it before I actually challenge my team.

Qualities of our PSAs that we should look for before sending them our Designated Diamond (DD) invites are 1) Commitment - They are committed to do SFI & TripleClicks in terms of time spent, effort exerted, and financial investment; 2) Determination - Determined to achieved the highest rank and build a strong team of EA2s/TLs; and 3) Perseverance - Not giving up no matter how inactive their affiliates are and how low their current SFI income is.

You can gauge whether your PSAs are committed or not by 1) Checking their Affiliate Snapshot and see how many badges they have earned. Their badges will tell you how actively they are doing both SFI tasks and TripleClicks activities; 2) Checking their VP ledger especially the Daily Action section and see if they are claiming their Daily Action VersaPoints daily without fail. The TripleClicks section will tell you, if they have made TripleClicks sales and/or purchases. You will see, if they have Gen 1 EA2s/TLs by checking their Leadership & Training section; 3) Checking who are always in your Movers tab. 4) Checking your Genealogy and see how actively and continuously they are recruiting new PSAs to build their downline. 5) Filtering your Genealogy to affiliates who are online, and when you see them online initiate chat with them. When they respond to your chat message or they ask questions via chat is a good sign that they are considering to actively and seriously do SFI.

Through constant 2-way communication with your team members, you will be able to gauge who among your PSAs have the qualities of a potential DTL.

As mentioned in the announcement, selecting the PSA for Designated Diamond program is the most vital part of it. Of course, everyone have their own criteria of selecting. Few of them may be very choosy and few may be liberal in their criteria. Here are the ones that I am considering for choosing my Diamonds....

1. I am inviting my EA2, who have maintained EA or above rank for at least 2 months. However, they must have recruited at least 5 members to their team as PSA (active or inactive does not matter).

2. I am inviting PSAs, who were affiliate for long time after joining and now suddenly becoming EA. I am inviting these guys because the fire must have just come from some where to make them EA even after long inactive times. So, I am going to add little faith and $200 signing in bonus which will take the fire to a different level.

3. All new affiliates who are setting up a standing of at least 1200 or above. I feel by setting up the standing order, they are basically showing commitment. A little help and support from me is going to give them a rocking start.

Well, all these are my selection criteria. But, before inviting any one, I always contact them personally and make sure that he/she is committed and interested to take the challenge.

The three most important qualities that makes a PSA qualified for the Designated Diamond invite are:

1) PSA must be EA2 or above,
2) Clear record that PSA is logging in everyday to do the daily To Do List (check PSA VP Ledger) and,
3) PSA is promoting TC, and participating in Pricebender auctions and EZ games.

If your PSA is dedicated in doing the above activities, then he/she deserve to be invited in the Designated Diamond Program because he/she possess the qualities of becoming a DTL.

To find them, look at your genealogy. If they are EA2 or above and if they have high VPs, then they are worth helping.
