A very good general query particularly meant for affiliates or team leaders with very large, active down-line affiliates.

I very clearly and truly intend to agree with affiliate members or TLs who think and say that managing so many active affiliates under so many generation levels is a tedious and difficult task, which saps a lot of mental and physical energy apart from the need to possess lots and lots of patience and tolerance. It is only under such circumstances that various management methods and techniques has to be learnt and applied to overcome such problems.

There may be several methods and techniques which can be applied to such a problem or issue but I intend to put forth here-in-below, what I think is the best for the benefit of all the team leaders. What one has to do is to draw or set-up a line or benchmark on various parameters for the affiliates to achieve independently by their own efforts. Once we do that, the managing part would become very facile and easy. Only thing one has to do is to regularly watch the development or growth of each and every affiliate down under and note down their achievements.

We can leave the affiliates who have crossed the benchmark level and only concentrate of the affiliates who are below the benchmark. If one remembers the early days of SFI life, there is a rule in SFI - always stay above the green/blue/red line. It is just like that. We have to provide help to these affiliates who may require it and may be awaiting for the help to come.
We have to enquire or find out what the problem or issue is and try to find the remedy, give them proper directions to overcome it and show or redirect them on to the correct path. Moreover, we must clearly let them know that this is only one time help for such problem hence it is quite necessary for all of them to learn how to overcome it on their individual and independent efforts in future.

A small/little help at the correct time would give them all a lot of confidence and satisfaction to move forward. Not only that, all of them will be faithfully following the team leader forever who extends timely help which is a clear-cut case of making a positive impression among all the needy affiliates.

I usually adopt the above technique and I have always succeeded by adopting it. When I always succeed I do not see why others would not?? Just try it once or twice and see/watch the results yourselves.

If several affiliates are only interested in the daily to-do list that shows that the Sponsor or team leader has either not conveyed or partially conveyed the message highlighting the importance of other vital activities which provides growth and development to the affiliate. The deficiency or the negativity purely or solely lies on the part of the team leader only. It is his or her solemn duty and responsibility to highlight all the salient features of the SFI particularly the two main branches, advertising/marketing & selling and duplicating or sponsoring new affiliates.
There are other equally important tasks such as placing standing order or buying new member packs etcetera, but they come later on in the priority list.

Now, the Sponsor or the team leader as soon as he writes a welcome letter fully loaded with all the contends and requirements in it, he should not waste precious time to highlight all the salient features of SFI and the activities that all the new affiliates must undertake or indulge into. He must nudge or convince them to complete the task by remaining with them and supervising them apart from highlighting convincingly the importance of all other vital tasks that has to be performed by each and every affiliate for his own personal economic growth and development at a faster pace.

Once if all the affiliates learn the above things fully and get convinced by seeing all the inherent merits that are present in all other vital activities which are very much necessary to succeed economically, which ensures their economic or pecuniary stability and future lifelong limitless, then all of them would automatically would carry on regularly and at all times in the future.

Now when we come to convincing or motivating aspect, there are various ways and means or methods which a team leader can adopt under various circumstances according to the problem or issue or according to his taste and preference. The sole aim for the team leader is to somehow see that all the affiliates are motivated fully and are able to conduct their SFI business independently forever.

It is always good to possess or own a personal ECA store at tripleclicks because it adds to an additional income stream and keeps one fully engrossed in advertising, marketing and selling activity. This situation arises purely because of one's personal interest towards faster growth and prosperity economically.

Since one has invested some money in setting up his own ECA store at tripleclicks, he would be compelled or forced to undertake that extra load of task with respect to advertising, marketing and selling. Regarding the items to be listed, it entirely depends upon the taste and preference of one's personal choice. Moreover for him personally, if he has a need for a particular item which he is selling, he can always take them at a very cheaper rate - customs and other duties or levies gets cancelled automatically. Moreover, his personal purchase improves his rate of cross purchasing and thereby adds up his versapoints score and additional earnings.

It is absolutely or purely for this very reason most of the rich or well to do affiliates within their first six months of registering freely with SFI set up their own ECA store. It would be more beneficial and fetching if one goes for Local Pay Merchant store with tripleclicks or SFI, selling the much needed and invaluable tcurrency.

Now I think everybody knows the importance and utility of tcurrency got out of experience of placing a standing order for every month. It is the tcurrency which acts as a digital currency in procuring the tcredits and other items from the tripleclicks/SFI.

If one already has five Platinum team leaders, then I do not think it is necessary for him or her to develop more PTL, unless one is not satisfied with his personal earning capacity or appetite for income. This grand thought or plan has to been provided by Mr. Gery Carson in the SFI/basics section or column - ultra simple three steps plan. Moreover quite recently about a fortnight ago, under the steps taken by the SFI in its incremental plan for development and refinement, it has introduced a new level called Diamond Team Leader and a grand PLAN has been provided to it like an annexure or addendum along-with some other changes like qualifying versapoints etc.

I see nothing wrong in developing more and more first class team leaders this is because once one has reached the highest level or pinnacle, he has nothing to do daily except just click some red buttons for versapoints. If one is engaged always in some challenging, constructive and developing work or task, he would not get bored, always remains fresh mentally and engrossed or fully immersed in the system, thus providing him a vocation or occupation for his entire life.

Apart from that he ensures that the growth or development is a constant feature showing upward curve not only in the SFI team but also in his entire personal life which he may exhibit to people around him proudly whenever situation or circumstances demand it.

There may be several best methods that can be employed for recruiting new affiliates via various social media that are now available in the internet, information world.

It has become quite an easy task to recruit new affiliates into SFI umbrella utilising various social media sites because one is only a friend or a friend's friend and the chain goes on, which gives something like a personal touch or works like word of mouth. It is purely or absolutely true because of such a things that exists, all the sensational news or information or gossips go viral within a few hours and wide and far, through this world-wide web across globally.

What one has to do is to properly plan the entire advertising or marketing campaign structure and decide upon the most favorable and impressive methodology, tools and techniques that are required to be adopted for such social media campaign.

Quite recently, about a fortnight ago the SFI in its incremental development plan has introduced new tools such as JOIN MY TEAM (JMT) AND AVATAR, which I very strongly believe if one adopts them would succeed without any doubt or suspicion in one's mind.

As the name suggests PSAs are Personally Sponsored Affiliates to whom we advertise and coax them to register themselves with SFI, whereas CSA - Co-Sponsored Affiliates are provided by the SFI on achieving something during our routine business or actions.

Since PSAs are the people we know, they prove to be more regular, consistent and most of the times show their interest in engaging and transacting their business with SFI hence it is very easy to keep track, provide encouragement and support to them at any instant of time. Moreover
the sponsored PSAs belong to our local place with whom we generally have formal contacts in our society. Unless we purchase or win the PSAs in auctions, the above situation is very correct.

The CSAs being provided by the SFI are the people who we do not know anything much about their tastes, background, societal level, customs & traditions etc. They generally belong to some foreign countries but very rarely belong to the same country. Since there is no formal contact or relationship with them, we cannot be sure whether they would contribute to themselves and to the sponsor or SFI.

Whenever both the PSAs and CSAs are regular in their respective tasks like doing daily, weekly and monthly acts - it shows that they are serious about SFI business.

If they regularly participate in auctions or games conducted by the SFI.

If they are advertising or marketing the SFI products and services by adopting various means and methods.

If their VersaPoint score is moving upwards on a daily basis.

If they making purchases for themselves or selling SFI products and services to others.

It is possible to check their daily activity and growth from the movers page.

If they are in regular contact, posing questions/queries at regular intervals on various topics and issues to senior Team Leaders or submitting tickets to SFI.

If they are regularly checking and reading the FAQs and replies/posts/answers in the SFI Forum.

If they are in regular contact with other team members or a2a members.

The above are few indicators which clearly show that both PSAs and CSAs are serious in their SFI business and intend to build a strong business for themselves and for their team.

I personally would think, nothing personal to the poser of this query - no offence or hurt is intended - laying pre-conditions at the first step itself would prove to be detrimental to the advertsing/marketing and duplicating/sponsoring efforts. It would seems to be childish, just like a child who always wants to eat sweets and never intends or cares about the taste of spices which are hot but good for one's health. If one lays pre-conditions as soon as one registers himself freely with the SFI, the affiliate would not get good impression not only of the sponsor but also of the SFI itself thereby resulting in his dis-continuance forever.

Now coming to the next sequential step, it is entirely or solely the duty or responsibility of the Sponsor or the team leader to convert non-interested or casual affiliate into serious and interested affiliates. This is the challenge that each and every Sponsor or team leader must take as a challenge and conduct himself accordingly. Initially, the success rate may be very low or just moderate, but once he develops and masters the skills and tricks on how to convert them into serious affiliates, he would enjoy his task or work and does the same repeatedly again and again.

The above effort of getting mastery over certain aspect such as converting non-serious or uninterested affiliates into serious or interested affiliates not only benefits him personally but also to all those affiliates who are down under in his team economically. Moreover, the Sponsor or team leader can start even teaching or training his technique or mastery over certain aspect to all those who are interested to learn from him and convert them also into superior team leaders or sponsors.

Hence, keeping in view all the discussed points above in the mind, it is always better not to lay pre-conditions such as only serious affiliates are welcome to join or register with SFI - would work in a negative way and there exists every possibility to loosing the prospective affiliates forever.

Firstly, I would get in contact with all my down-line and up-line members to find out the latest developments/changes/news involving SFI and try to elicit as much information I could as possible about their work in the recent past.

Secondly, I would send group or team mail to all my down-line PSAs and CSAs extending encouragement, support and guidance and assuring them that I am always available to extend any possible help they need in case if any query, doubt or confusion crops up in their minds. I also ask them about the problems/greviances faced in their work areas such as marketing, advertising and sales of various products and services of SFI and Tripleclicks.

Then I would seek information about their duplication or sponsoring work and its progress. I would remind them all about the importance of sponsoring and developing a strong team down under. Also I would remind them how they will be benefited by the matching points, being contributed by the member affiliates deep down under, thereby the earning potential of each one of them doubles and triples according to the growth of the team and its various generations.

Thirdly, I myself would attend to my personal marketing, advertising and sales work. Then I would promote reference of ECAs to the tripleclicks, recommend to the newly joined affiliates to place their Standing Orders and explain to them the associated benefits also encourage them to procure a once in lifetime Wave 3 starter kit plus explain its benefits. Then I would recommend all the down-line members of join either SFI Co-op or my own Co-op and ask them to contribute or procure some units on a regular basis.

Fourthly, once in a fortnight, I arrange for an informal meeting with all of my a2a friends and down-line members, providing them an agenda in advance and ask one or two selected persons to speak on the dias or podium about various topics and issues of SFI after ensuring all the requisite arrangements and provisions are duly made in advance.

Fifthly, as all the mails I send automatically consists of my SFI signature, SFI products and services would get advertised and marketed. As a post script, I would advertise the Wave 3 and Eager Zebra auctions of SFI.

Lastly, I would send e-cards to various colleagues, friends, acquaintances, societal members, warm relatives, neighbors and all others known. If possible, I would distribute personally the gift cards to all the above. Then I would place various flyers and banners of SFI and try to physically promote various aspects of SFI.

These are my personal routine that I follow everyday in order to promote SFI business.

A very useful query indeed concerning people who are hard-pressed for time.

The allocation of time and money entirely depends upon one's interest and thirst for his personal success, growth and prosperity in SFI. Moreover people often get doubt about how much time one should spend on advertising/marketing and sponsoring/duplicating. All this, to a larger extent, depends upon the person's interest, psychological bent or inclination.

A bare minimum of 15 minutes is needed daily, round the year for clicking the much needed 10 red buttons and score those 10 versapoints. Then if one is inclined to spend his chosen time in advertising,marketing and selling various tripleclicks products and services he can spend his chosen span of time for it. Else he can paste his own various gateways or links on the websites of various existing companies or free websites - which will be viewed by prospective visitors, later on may become SFI/tripleclicks customers as well. Another activity is to refer various ECAs to the tripleclicks and earn the stipulated commissions and royalty periodically forever.

On the other hand, if one is very good at communication, leadership and training, then he can spend his invaluable time by procuring CSAs and PSAs from the SFI else he can directly approach his friends, relatives, colleagues, neighbors, acquaintances and other societal members to register themselves under his URL/team. Once this is done, he has to concentrate on training each and every joined individual very patiently until they are fit to manage on their own.
More importantly he has to explain the points mentioned in SFI basics and ultra-simple three steps prescribed by the Founder Mr. Gery Carson to all the registered individuals.

In the ultimate analysis, it can said that the allocation of time and money hugely depends upon the personal interest and choice of every member affiliate.

The SFI A2A affiliates are just like your colleagues working together in an organisation.

Whenever one plans for a local meeting or get-together which is purely informal in nature, one has to think a lot about it and make the much necessary planning and arrangement ahead of the event. Some of the broad outlines are being mentioned here-in-below:=

a) Plan for a good, conducive venue with all the basic necessities. Fix appropriate time and day for the event, usually on weekends or some public holidays.

b) Arrange for light snacks and cold drinks or a cup of tea. Arrange two or three support staff for necessary services along-with the necessary seating arrangements.

c) Arrange for electricity back-up to meet any emergency, a public address system with sound boxes and microphones.

d) Give a lot of thought about what to speak and how to speak. Prepare an agenda with broad headings of various topics such as Tripleclicks, Pricebender auctions, ECA referrals, Marketing & Advertising, Wave 3 starter kits, SFI Co-ops, Standing Orders etc. Maintain presentable personality with a broad smile and crack a joke in a lighter vein during the speech if the meeting atmosphere gets charged up. While speaking your sight or gaze should go round the audience and make a mental note of their personal responses by reading their faces, body languages such as postures, movements etc.

e) Prepare and arrange for availability the necessary paraphernalia such as gift cards, flyers, banners, X-cards, etc well in advance for distribution among the a2a members.

f) If possible, make necessary guess-work about the possible questions or queries that would raised by the affiliates and prepare necessary convincing replies or answers.

g) When the actual date and time arrives, you make an announcement about the beginning of the meeting and proceed as per your planning. Try to be brief, straight and maintain an average speed of speech for clearer hearing and understanding.

h) If you announce the time-span or duration of meeting before-hand, then try not to exceed it under any circumstance, one or two minutes is just okay.

i) Provide adequate time for questions/queries to be raised by fellow affiliates and answer them with examples and explanations patiently. Provide them a general question and ask them to think about it and submit their replies in the next meeting.

j) At the end of the meeting, thank all of them for their co-operation and patient hearing.

After finishing the meeting, Just try to recollect the entire meeting scenario and try to evaluate yourself impartially with calm, stable and unemotional mind. Figure out various deficiencies and lacunae and make a note of them and try to never repeat them in future meetings.
