When you are new and just starting out, you kinda have no choice. I guess it ends up being a learn as you go process and you start to notice which reps actually know what they are doing and want to help.

I never understood companies that hire reps to help affiliates who don't know shit. Isn't it in the companies best interest to have reps that know what they are doing because I always assumed, knowledgeable reps + hard working affiliates = profits, but I could be wrong.
