They’ll be immediately upgraded to EA2 and will receive 10 free TCredits per month plus all the benefits of EA2 listed under the Benefits Chart. As a Fast-Track Gold, they’ll also get all the memberships benefits listed on the Fast-Track Silver.

To answer your question in regards to Team Leader with or without his/her team, we need to look at the possibilities that one may find himself/herself into to get a better understanding and thus answer your question easily.

Here are the types of situation where Team Leader and team members can occur in building your network:

- You can be a Team Leader without team leadership skills and without a team.

- You can be a Team Leader while learning team leadership skills and with a team.

- You can be a Team Leader with team leadership skills and with a team as per SFI’s The Plan.

1. It is possible to move up to the rank of a Team Leader right in your first month. You can collect all your free pointable actions in just a matter of days and make some financial investment to move up to the TL rank. Would you have acquired the team leadership skills after moving up to the TL rank? Will this strategy works for growing a profitable SFI business? Time will tell.

2. The second type would be when an affiliate move up to TL rank (1000 AVP) received a share of second home CSAs and 2 CSAs for maintaining EA2. This model of growing a SFI business requires some financial investment (needs SO min./max. 1500/2000 SVP) while learning and acquiring the skills needed to lead his/her team.

In pursuing this type, you need to keep in mind that for your team to have faith in your leadership and decision making, you have to have confidence in yourself first. Only you will know if you have the confidence to lead your team as you go through the process of acquiring your leadership skills. After all you’ll be transferring your skills which include your leadership skills to your team members. Trying to teach leadership to your team members without first building confidence is like building a house on a foundation of sand.

3. The third type is classified as a Team Leader in a true sense. SFI devised The Plan of what makes a true Team Leader. It starts with 3000 VP which includes 1000 AVP. You’ll need to log in daily performing daily/weekly/monthly actions to collect approximately 500 AVP and the other 500 AVP will come from your support of 5 EA2s. It will take a lot of your time and effort to develop 5 EA2s. This is worth pursuing to ensure your success.

A Team Leader in a true sense will pioneer the way for his/her team members’ path to success; the training and support that he/she provides will give them experience in bonding the relationship. The interactions inside the team provide important experience necessary to drive and motivate everyone to excel in their activities leading to success. You’ll be missing all of these if you go for TL without a team. After all the accomplishment of supporting your PSAs to EA2 or any minor achievements towards their development and growth gives a good feeling of success to the Team Leader and to his/her team members.

First I’ll answer your question based on the current SFI system; you’ll be able to earn 1000 AVP to attain BTL without any team members by doing the following:

- Logging in daily performing your To-Do List, you’ll get approximately 400 – 500 AVP per month.

- Participating in Pricebenders auctions max. 600 AVP/month and EZ games 250 AVP/month.

The steps above combine accumulation of free AVP and purchasing of TCredits to be used for bidding and playing EZ games thereby accumulating more AVP to fulfill the required AVP for BTL rank.

If your long term goal is to achieve residual income then this strategy will not make you successful in the long run. Logically, it doesn’t make sense to be a Team Leader without team members.

SFI has introduced recently about the additional Team Leader (TL) qualification. This recent change should bring back the emphasis on Duplication. This additional Team Leader qualification will take effect by the end of Jan. 2016.

To help Team Leaders achieve and maintain their TL status in a true sense, they have to focus on helping their PSAs in their development and growth. To train and support them to become, maintain EA and encourage them to move up to TL rank. For example, if one has to become a Bronze TL aside from 3000 VP (SVP + AVP), maintaining Leadership page and minimum 3-star sponsor rating from PSAs (not required if you receive less than 5 ratings), he/she should have at least 1 EA2 of his/her first Generation. The additional qualification for STL is to have at least two first-level BTLs and so on.

This might prove to be a real challenge for everyone aspiring to achieve and maintain TL rank. This change will require your determination, persistence, patience and perseverance but it’s well worth the effort. Besides earning your monthly commissions, you’ll have the opportunity to be a part of something bigger and better, to have s positive effect on others and to develop close relationship with your team members.

Furthermore, you’ll be making a difference by impacting other people’s lives when you’re dedicated in helping them to achieve their long term goals.

Before you even start encouraging your affiliates, who are feeling demoted, you need to be clear yourself about the issue behind your affiliates’ disappointment.

You need to find out the root cause of the issue. Let’s discuss for example the recent SFI announcement about the new Team Leader qualification added.

SFI has announced recently about the additional Team Leader (TL) qualification. Duplication has been given less attention by both new and old Team Leaders and in order to reverse this trend, if one has to become a Bronze TL aside from 3000 VP (SVP + AVP), maintaining Leadership page and minimum 3-star sponsor rating from PSAs (not required if you receive less than 5 ratings), he/she should have at least 1 EA2 of his/her first Generation. The additional qualification for STL is to have at least two first-level BTLs and so on.

The current TL qualification system allows one to become BTL by fulfilling the above mentioned requirement with or without a first-level EA2. By the end of January many affiliates who routinely achieve BTL will be just good for EA2, if they can’t produce at least one first-level EA2. This change might have put many affiliates under pressure. Many believe that the rank title is tied with their reputation and credibility before those they’re leading.

From this point, analyze yourself where you stand about this forthcoming change. You can only encourage your affiliates if you are clear about the change and/or accept it.

So how do you encourage an affiliate to remain active when he/she feels he/she has been demoted?

- Humbly offer your clarification.

You need to remind him/her that SFI is a partner for all affiliates. SFI is always looking for new innovations to help all affiliates have the cutting edge and to stand out from the competitive world of entrepreneurs. Ask him/her to recollect his/her thoughts about his/her goals in joining SFI. One way of clarifying the change is by going through The Plan (https://www.sfimg.com/the_plan). SFI wants every affiliate to be a top earner and to have maximum success as revealed in this section.

- Controlling Emotions.

The feeling of demotion can fuel anger and resentment. Here are some steps to deal with someone’s emotion of feeling demoted effectively:

1. Advise him/her to manage his/her bruised ego.

2. Communicate to him/her that anger is natural but he/she should watch what he/she says to those around him/her especially to the SFI community. Letting out his/her anger uncontrolled at the SFI Forum will adversely affect his/her entire organization and could be easily seen as spreading negativism.

3. Let him/her know that he/she needs time to sort out his/her options. It's likely people will come up to him/her and ask him/her for more details about his/her situation and opinion, but it's best to deflect their remarks with a neutral response. For example, "I really don't know what to think right now...I'm going to assess my options before I make any decisions."

- Stick with SFI.

Encourage him/her to focus on his/her goals and control his/her emotions. Generally people resist change. Ask him/her to find a way to motivate himself/herself each day. Recently SFI introduced the CSA reassignment tool. This provides incentive for many members of a group to both become EAs and maintain EA every month. This could motivate him/her, so be sure to send the details: https://www.sfimg.com/Support/Solution?id=215051&referrer=search.

Ask him/her to stand back and re-assess his/her situation. Encourage him/her to try to understand the reason for such a change, to be patient and let him/her be assured of your support as long as he/she sticks with SFI.

- Remember to apply the manner of effective communication.

Effective communication is not achieved simply by taking turns talking but requires a concerted effort at mutual understanding. A good way to promote understanding about the issue is to take time to restate the other person’s position in your own words then ask him/her to correct or affirm your understanding of his/her thoughts and feelings. If you work on this process of explicit feedback and confirmation until the other person has no doubt that you grasp his/her position, he/she will feel understood, and he/she will then be more open to hearing from you.

The simple failure to acknowledge what the other person says explains much of the friction in our lives. Furthermore, you don’t have to be responsible for someone’s feelings to be aware of them and to acknowledge them. When two people keep restating their own positions without acknowledging what the other is trying to say, the result is dueling points of view.

SFI is a network marketing business. In communicating and building your relationship to your downline, it is very important that you send them a clear message of what SFI business all about.

You need to explain to them as simple and clear as possible, as often as it requires from the fastest to the slowest learner to keep the momentum of expanding your SFI organization.

The concept of SFI can be best understood through SFI BASICS and LAUNCHPAD. I would therefore recommend to my downline to focus the following actions to help them establish their business correctly upon a solid foundation:

- All actions to make them EA and keep them maintaining the EA status.

Core activities: Logging in daily and performing To-Do List (AVP = Action VP), generate sales at TripleClicks (SVP = Sales VP).

- All actions required in sponsoring. At first, they won't earn instant VP for doing the training, for learning the marketing methods and Internet Income courses, etc but as they become skillful in advertising and acquiring new sign ups, they will eventually get VPs for each EA2, BTL, STL, etc support. The VPs here are unlimited. The action of implementing the process of Duplication brings unlimite Vps.

- All actions for supporting your downline such as mentoring, encouraging using PSA/CSA mailer, Genealogy support will not only earn you VPs, but also teaching them these same 3 steps as shown in the ultra-simple 3 -step plan.

Teaching your downline to focus on the actions that implement the process of Duplication will keep your network business expanding as your duplicates this process.

The a2a program could be a great tool to enhance the growth of your SFI business. Choosing well your a2a friends to connect with could also enrich your online interaction creating warm and friendly atmosphere every bit of time you spend with SFI.

How to pick a2a friends and choose whom to follow?

- There are many factors that one can consider in choosing his/her a2a friends. One of the most important attributes I look upon a person is the willingness to share his/her knowledge and experience to others without expecting anything in return. He/she lives up to the true meaning of friendship by doing all what he/she can to help not only his/her team members but most of all to others in the SFI community. You might be able to identify them with their engagement with the SFI Forum and Ask SC.

- For long term success I will associate with people who can take my life/career/business to the next level. It is good to spend time with friends who can expose you to greater things, new information and a higher level of living. If you value these friendships, you will soon find yourself advancing too.

- I will choose to make friends with common goals. When you have friends with common goals, particularly as an entrepreneur, you can push each other. You can work on your goals together and encourage each other in reaching them.

- We all have our strengths and weaknesses. Having the right friends, you can tap into the talents, skills and abilities of those that have expertise in areas that you don't. Maybe you aren't the best at organizing your business mails/correspondences with your team members, but you have a friend that possessed this expertise-organizing – ask his/her help. When you utilize each other's strengths, everyone wins.

- Choose friends who share your celebration of success. Good a2a friends will celebrate every milestone, accomplishment and success story on your journey. They will be genuinely happy to see you succeed and be the first to say "congratulations!" Friends like this can be rare so when you find them, keep them close.

- Associate with people who are go-getters. People who are go-getters are serious about their goals and serious about success. They don't treat life casually or waste time on frivolous pursuits. They take fast action and get things done. If you consider yourself a get-getter person, it's important that you have friends who operate the same way.

In every friendship, it is very important to base upon the give-and-take principle. Treat others as you would want them to treat you. If you stand on this principle you’ll find your friendships fulfilling and rewarding.
