Honestly, the A2A program is designed to provide an additional support option for affiliates. It is an excellent tool to use to find & share ideas to grow your SFI business. So how do you pick your 10 friends? You select among those that reach out to you. No everyone is interested in collaboration. While this might be strange, others see it as increased competition in the marketplace. So the rules of success apply: work with workers and I'll add those that wish to work with you. Some people say that you should pick the best and strongest that lead by example and have proof by their badges. I tend to disagree.
You have to be able to see the mutual benefit in sharing. In other words, I not going to seek out DTLs as some of them may think that you are trying to 'steal' their trade secrets! But an executive affiliate that wants to go TL is open to recommendations as well they may have a few of their own. This makes it a win/win for everyone involved. In the end, always give more than you expect and you will be pleasantly surprised that people don't care how much you know until they know how much you care and are willing to help.
