Qualifying as a Team Leader is easy. One of the most challenging part as a Team Leader in SFI is getting team members to perform and produce tangible results. In becoming a Team Leader I am expected to do the following:

I have to lead by example. I myself have to produce results in sponsoring, actively participate at TripleClicks, recruit ECAs, participate in forums etc.

I am expected to coach, mentor, support and help my downline in building up their SFI business.

SFI Business is focused around multiple streams of income. To be successful in SFI it is crucial to focus on the multiple streams of income opportunities at SFI. The areas of focus are Versa points, sponsoring affiliates, generating sales at TC, acquiring CSAs, refer ECAs and SFIPPA.

Valuable resources like time and money is spent on advertising and it is therefore necessary to determine the effectiveness of those resources used for advertising. Campaigns can then be adjusted or modified to enhance the effectiveness of advertising.

As far as SFI is concerned provision is made to incorporate Key Codes on the various links and this helps us to track the effectiveness of advertising at various sources like free classifieds, paid classifieds, websites, blogs, social media

There is no one best way to receive your SFI commissions. It depends on individual preference and policy regarding payment processors etc in respective countries.

PayPal is a very convenient way to receive your SFI commissions. Access to the money is immediate with PayPal. If PayPal is linked to your bank account, you can withdraw money to your bank account and have it in three to four business days. PayPal funds can also be used to pay for your Standing Orders and any other purchases

Inactive CSAs are opportunities and they can be motivated to perform and boost your income.

When I receive inactive CSAs I will contact them immediately and let them know that I have been assigned as their co-sponsor.

I will let the new CSAs know that I am here to assist and support them in building up their SFI Business.

I will also let them know that I am an SFI Team Leader and give them my Leadership Page link.

An encouraging message from me could result

The fact that you managed to get hold of some ECAs to join the program is an encouraging first step. However, to get them to be active involves some information gathering as to why they have not listed their products. Perhaps they need further assistance.

I seen many ECAs approaching the forum when they have a problem listing their products. Make known to them to seek help at the forum if they need assistance.

E-mail them or call them to find out if they have any questions or

The expression “leaders are born” is an old adage. Leaders are also made. A lot of leadership stuff cannot be taught but SFI affiliates can learn from effective team leaders. Leadership is deliberate. You seldom have successful teams by accident.

SFI team leaders should take control of their own development. They should keep up with the relentless training that will make a difference in their performance.

Look at all the successful affiliates at SFI. Figure out why they

SFI has been around for many years and has a proven track record. All new affiliates who joined SFI have a fair and level playing field.

These library of resources help new affiliates to jump-start their SFI business and start earning income within a couple of months.
