Obviously, the 1st thing to do is to establish what the members expectations were.
There should never be presumptions as to what these expectations were. Ask the members. If they do not explain further, there really is very little you can do. If they do tell you what the problems are then you can structure your responses or training accordingly.

If the members opt out of SFI, thats the end of it.
If they do not opt out, stay in contact with them, encouraging them, training and supporting them in the businesses.

Depending on your situation, you may want to consult your sponsor/uplines regarding what to do especially when the affiliates tell you what the problem is and you need help sorting it out. Remember you may be a Team Leader but you are also part of a bigger team. Other team members, your sponsor/uplines can also help.

To reassign effectively you need to to be clear why you are reassigning. Remember you are deal with people.

I reassign only to those people who are workers and appear to be ready to sponsor other affiliates. This is normally when they have reached EA or TL status.

I reassign for the following purposes:
- To provide training on sponsoring to my PSA
- Someone they can send Streams and Mailers to so that they get extra VP
- As an incentive for aspiring EA and TL members of my team
- To start or to help with building up my PSA own team of affiliates
- I have affiliates who do not understand English so I assign them to those who speak the same language. This helps me, the affiliate with no English and also his new sponsor.

I normally reassign a mixture of affiliates - non active and active ones.

I have read many testimonials from people who have joined SFI with little computer knowledge or how to work the internet but have built successful businesses. The things they all had in common is that they were prepared to work and take on new learning. That included becoming internet savvy.

Even if you were not shy and can speak confidently on a person to person basis and promote the business that way, I suspect that your successes would be limited.

This is an international business and it’s based on the internet. It relies heavily on the internet. We would have to resort back to envelopes and marketing through the mail or cold calling on the phone if it wasn't for the internet.

If you are not internet savvy, I’m afraid the only option is to learn and become familiar with it.

You can be shy but still build a successful SFI business if you are internet savvy. Others have done it.

By doing this, you are encouraging transfer buying.

If your PSAs are purchasing from SFI ECAs in their country instead of from the local supermarkets and shops at the mall, they are in effect purchasing from their own store. They are keeping their money within SFI. This helps SFI grow, contributes to the TripleClicks Executive Pool and it also helps the PSAs. They not only receive the goods but at a cheaper rate and they also earn the VPs associated with the goods.

Goods are generally cheaper if they are manufactured and sold locally because additional expenses such as shipping costs, customs duties etc.. are drastically reduced or eliminated altogether. Goods sold by local ECAs should therefore be cheaper than goods sold by ECAs outside of their country.

Purchasing from ECAs in their own country also helps the local economy.

You are very wise to be cautious; after all they are the business owners. Sponsors are the mentors.

I know it can be quite frustrating at times when they do not seem to be motivated, when they don’t log in, when they don’t do what we suggest but that is our role – to train, to guide, to mentor them. It’s really up to them to ‘play ball’ so to speak.

You can continually support and motivate them by:

- Your own example eg - How many achievement badges do you have at your profile? Your affiliates look at these and it’s an indication to them of what you do, not just what you say.
- Gently keep on training them on how to advertise, how to sponsor.
- Regularly sending them encouraging messages. Send them useful tips on where/how to get VP.
- Grow affiliate involvement by team competitions, incentives, co-ops, broadcasting and celebrating successes, acknowledge milestone and anniversaries.
- Helping them to set targets of what they want to achieve and then help them mapping out how to get there.
- Encouraging leadership and ownership of their own destinations. You do not want dependents.

I have at times ‘played hard ball’ with PSAs who continually ask me the basic questions that they would not have been asking me if they had done the Launchpad lessons. They have to help themselves regarding their learning etc.. not relying on me all the time.

Work hard and you will get noticed
Get your Fast Track status and advance up the ranks
Send you sponsor your commitment message, complete profile etc..
Connect with your sponsor and ask him/her for help/guidance whenever its needed
When asking for help, try to find the answer/solution yourself 1st before asking.
Connect and simply chat if you don't need help
Participate in the Forum and ASK SC

If despite all your efforts and after doing all the above your sponsor doesn't want to 'notice' you, don't despair. I read of many successful people in SFI who have little to do with their sponsors. You can connect with the other leaders in your upline, develop a closer relationship with your co-sponsor, get help from A2A friends and others in SFI.

Yes Absolutely

Don’t stop. Keep on keeping on. Keep on developing leaders at all levels.

The reason why you should do this is because no matter how close you are to your team members you can never with certainly know when one or more of your leader will, for whatever reason, stop being active. They may stop because of ill health, financial or domestic situation, don’t want to do it anymore, death etc.. Always try to have leaders ready to step up and take their place.

Remember the more active leaders you have, the more income you will have. So don’t limit yourself to 5 future PTLs, keep on building and developing team leaders.

Hard work and a lot of asking for help are the only viable options here.

As a new member to SFI and new to marketing, I strongly advice against recruiting immediately. It puts a lot of pressure on yourself. It is also unfair to the PSA that you have recruited as he may not get the correct and full guidance he deserves. May get frustrated and leave. May sully SFI's reputation.

The only viable options that I can suggest are:

- Get up to speed yourself. Learn as much about SFI and its systems as quickly as possible. The same with marketing. This is a tall order!

- Seek help. There are many avenues of help available to you. The primary one of course is your Sponsor. If you are not getting answers from your sponsor, ask your co-sponsor and other uplines. Use the Forum and ASK SC and A2A friends. Most people in SFI are just willing to help even if they are not you uplines.

If you are in this situation, I suggest that you be very open with you new PSA (they can see when you joined SFI) and let them know that you are finding out the answers to his questions - that you are both learning at the same time. Working side by side will hopefully develop into a great friendship.

I would also suggest that you stop recruiting until you are up to speed - unless of course you enjoy being under pressure.

Because I am dealing with a PROSPECTIVE member, I keep it very brief as follows:

As a member of SFI, we earn through our activities (sales etc..) what are called VersaPoints(VP)

These are in fact shares in the TripleClicks Executive Pool. A percentage of what TripleClicks make from all sale goes into this pool.

At the end of the month, the money in this pool is then distributed to the affiliates.

The more VersaPoints you have at the end of the month, the bigger your share will be and the more money you will receive.
