This is a hot topic and difficult to answer.

As a team leader, I do my best to consistenly be in communication with my downline and, make sure that my progress and actions are visible to them. As you may already know, your downline will only do as you do; they will duplicate your actions, if they inspire to be like you or better. But, all of that is based on their personal needs and inspiration they have for you and themselves. However, as a team leader, you are not in control of the

Earning Versapoints is like signing up for a Rewards and Recognition Program with SFI. Versapoints are points you are awarded, as an affiliate for your daily actions completed from your to-do list. Your to-do list is like your assignment outline for the day, week, and month. It is like your bible or tour map for you to follow in order to be successful in SFI.

Versapoints, let's you know where you stand with the SFI company. The more you earn,the more you make, and the more your receive

After all, SFI is open to all. And, creating a downline is a basically a numbers game. Therefore, communicating with everyone who has the ability to read and follow directions is prime. Family members may be your first Executive Affiliates with a standing order of 1500 Versapoints, creating a great support system for you and your team, due to their direct links to you and your persoonal goals. That is a postive aspect.

But, on the flip side(negative), family members may join your team

The idea is to simplify the concept of the Standing Order- If you consider SFI to be a game, that you play on a regular basis and anxious to move to the next level, one will automatically see the importance of establishing a monthly Standing Order.

A Standing Order is simply a requirement of the SFI game. Like every game, there are rules and regulations to follow in order for one to reach great heights. SFI is actually no different from any internet saga, people play for pleasure.

The best support a Team Leader can give to their downline is the support of Acknowledgment and Recognition. It feels good to be acknowledged for every step you make, as you progress. Acknowledgement and recognition demonstrate the importance of having this particular affiliate on your team. An affiliate who knows that their efforts are valuable will look to move forward, as they see you do on a daily, weekly and monthly basis.

And, as they move forward in acquiring versapoints, you may

I am in my 5th month with SFI and I must say that I almost gave up too. But, I remained in the game by staying connected with all the correspondences received by corporate and uplines. I am pleased and very delighted to have such great upline members on my team. Their commitment and motivation to inspire me, has assisted me in staying in the game and working thoroughly for me to reach my breakthrough. Nothing comes easy. It takes something to reach success. You must look from within yourself and

Lead by example- if you post positivity, therefore your a2a friends will follow and do the same. a2a is a method used to create the possibility of positive connections and contacts among affiliates. It is a great way to notice one's accomplishments via accomplished SFI badges. a2a friendships create a sense of motivation inspiration and commitment for me. It keeps me grounded and focus to do more and reach greater heights each month.

What do you tell prospects who say they aren't interested in SFI because they don't know very many people?

Fortunately, you really do not need to know a whole lot of people, in order to be successful in SFI. You can build a growing network of affiliates via Pricebendder auctions by winning PSA's and CSA's, and/or setting up an advertising campaign via S-Builder Co-op. The idea is to get fully involved with the tools that SFI offers to you as an affiliate, and you shall see how your business will flourish and blossom, as you read and follow instructions provided by SFI.
