A good starting point would be because you are successful. For most it will come down to timing. The opportunity happens to present itself when a person is at a crossroads in their life. At a time when they are ready take on something new and challenging.

Most will not know much of anything about SFI when they join. Advertising by itself is not going to provide allot of information. Like most of us did, we learn as we earn. If someone goes to research more about SFI the chance increases that they could end up enrolling under someone other than you.

Most likely the fact it's FREE to join will be enough for those who do. Certainly the more knowledge about SFI and TripleClicks one has coming in will benefit as long as the motivation is there.

If a prospect accesses "your" excellent recruiting and training website/blog the chances increase they will come in well informed and less likely to research elsewhere. The additional knowledge will give them a head start and they will strike the right balance in their work. Some others will just have more difficulty comprehending in SFI and their work will not be balanced. The results are always revealed from their VP Ledger.

I am not far past those difficult early weeks in SFI. Where I to start over I'd be much further along earlier on.

It needs to go deeper than just wanting to become an SFI affiliate. One must have a strong desire to help others succeed. It Starts With You!

You should not convince your team members that playing Eager Zebra games is beneficial to them. Neither should you want to. This approach is to forward and will turn some off. It is better to provide valuable information. I happen to be one that has no interest in online games. People are either interested in online games or they're not. No amount of convincing can change that. Does that mean I will never play any of these games? No! I will play occasionally.

I come from a big family. Some of them going back decades have been consumed with computer games or gambling at different times while others never have been and never will be. SFI can offer many things in an effort to be all things to all people; but not all people will participate in all things offered. Just be thankful that the Eager Zebra games are available.

Personally I would approach prospective members that I know already have an interest in playing online games. You will likely have better success directing your marketing efforts about playing Eager Zebra games to this group of people. You can inform your team members that they can play Card King twice a day for FREE and T-Time. If they don't play I would not be concerned about it.

Everyone is uniquely different with different likes and dislikes. Why make attempts at upsetting this unique balance? You should never expect others to be just like you. I happen to like answering Ask SC questions; but many have no interest in participating in this no matter the benefits. This is true of anything. If the Eager Zebra games have benefited you personally include updates about it in your weekly Team Mail messages; but don't let it become your all consuming subject. You want your team members to receive a balanced SFI/TC diet.

Have you ever heard of "becoming all things to all people?" Do this and you will "win" all the more.

You do not need to motivate your downline. For starters you should not be referring to them as your downline as if they are below you. These are real people on your team and they will be responsible for their own teams. Your job is to lead your team in such a way that they will want to duplicate what you have done. The best way to this is through value. Are you following the pattern of an awesome sponsor? Does your team value your leadership? Have they benefited? Does it show in the ratings and comments they give you?

Your question suggests these are PSAs or CSAs that are already EA or EA2 and you wish to see them maintain. Great! We all want to build an active team of PSAs and CSAs. First you must be in a position to offer them something of value. Something that would motivate them to achieve a desired result.

You need to practice the way of give - not the way of get. Most want to know what they can get. You need to be different by giving of yourself of your time and resources.

What I would do is patiently wait for an active PSA to show and offer FREE entry into your Co-op to receive PSAs in rotation from your sources. First you will set the qualifiers because you don't want to start a team of PSAs that become dependent on you. I would require that they be Gold Fast-Track Members and make EA2 before the 10th of any given month. For every month they accomplish this you would enter them in your FREE Co-op the start of the following month - on a month by month basis. If they are not a Fast-Track Member then I would require they make EA2 before the 10th of the month and TL before the end of the month.

Now if they can not do either of the two above to build their team then they would need to rely solely on their own merits to accomplish the same. Making EA2 without a 1500 min. Standing Order in place is very easy to do and many will work that way. If they remain caught up in that cycle month after month without ever breaking from it they will eventually lose interest and give up anyway. You must maintain working with and investing in the workers. The more someone is vested the more staying power they will have and be less likely to quit.

If you are investing in your business in every way to give back to your team this is a win win for all and you will not in any way be perceived as greedy.

Immediately to words come to mind. These two words can be included in a question however you choose to ask it. The two words are "Affiliate Marketing."

I have gotten my best results from prospects with the use of these two words within my question. In today's world with the internet and the expansion of ECommerce it is on the minds of many people. Someone is just waiting to be asked about Affiliate Marketing.

If you ask the question and they perk up and respond positively you know you have an open door to proceed further. Communication is *key*

You will have to personalize the question based on the situation and your relationship with the individual. I think it would be a bit premature for me to provide you a question or questions verbatim. I won't!

Just as we are all uniquely different we should each personalize how and when we ask a question. Anything I provide is base on my experience. You must personally learn what works for you and what does not.

Not all family relationships are equal. For one person it could be better to promote SFI and for another not so good. You've heard it said that familiarity breeds contempt. Your family - those closest to you are really good for that. They are often the most equipped to hurl criticisms in your direction and they always know what buttons to push to get you upset. If my family grew in numbers, formed their own nations they would become nations at war.

In my case it would be better to promote SFI to friends and strangers. Not to the exclusion of family. Just not better. You will have to approach each individual based your experience and perception of the individuals you approach. For example I wouldn't promote to an individual that looked like they fell into a fishing tackle box or is wearing saggy pants.

There is no wrong or right answer for one of these being better for promoting SFI. . What it boils down to is for each SFI Affiliate to decide which is better based on his/her experience, perception and circumstances.

Not having a Credit Card has nothing to do with whether or not one is able to become a Team Leader. It may be used by someone as an excuse not to move forward. If you are using a computer and logging in to SFI then you have many payment options available to you. Just type "Payment Options" into SFI Search.

You even can use TCredits, TCurrency and MRPs.

The methods you would employ to assist someone on your team that does not have a credit card would not change in the least bit.

Just keep on with business as usual and keep on learning and growing your SFI Team.

1. You are not responsible for those below your first level (front line PSAs).

2. You work with (the workers) your active PSAs on your first level and your CSAs.

3. You teach them how to grow and lead their active teams. If you are leading as an awesome sponsor your active team will follow your lead and example.

4. The active PSAs in Levels 6 - 12 have the option of contacting you and following you in the Forum.

5. If your front line PSAs are maintaining EA2 with Fast Track or a Team Leader then you should setup a Co-op and offer them FREE participation so long as they maintain a specified level of status. If not remove them until they come back.

6. Sources of communication are seemingly endless in this information age. We have several option to keep the lines of communication open within SFI and outside SFI.

7. If you have done an excellent job training and leading your front line PSAs it then becomes their responsibility to follow suite right on down the line. I will call it "the power of duplication in action."

8. Keep it simple and don't make things more complicated than it is. This is a real business with real people that requires real action from you to make it happen.

I know what it is like those first 30 days more or less not having the support or assistance of you Sponsor and Upline Team. Those early days are most crucial. It seemed I was running with blinders on - never knowing what was around the next corner. Having questions and not knowing where to get the answers. I was doing allot of reading in SFI and found much emphasis being placed on the importance of being a good sponsor and team leader. This only made me more upset about my circumstances and I almost quit.

I learned what my options were and I considered them carefully.
1. Leave for 6 months and return under the Sponsor of my choosing.
2. Submit a ticket to your Sponsor requesting he/she release you from Sponsorship along with the name and ID Number of the Sponsor of you choosing.

My Sponsor finally did come around but was very unkind. I chose option 2. after my sponsor said, "if you are not happy with me then you will have to leave and start again" I also placed a request to my sponsor of no further contact with me.

Now I have the opportunity to rate my "sponsor" If she does not like me giving her a single star rating every month then she can grant my request.

Mostly I got help from 24 hour phone support and mentoring from an a2a Friend. I am now in my second month qualifying as Bronze Team Leader and focusing lately on the ECA Program. Soon I will be doing more local advertising for PSA's.
