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.
