Firstly, the very fact that SFI has been a subject to an attack means that it is business worth attacking. Successful and profitable businesses have always been subjects to attacks.

Secondly, SFI has been transparent on honest from the very beginning and kept us all informed.

Shortly after the announcement my bank called me to tell me they will replace my existing card for free. Actually SFI notified my bank immediately just as a precaution.

Lead by example..if your

I have heard about Team Leaders with groups numbering in the tens of thousands! What do they do differently to build such a huge downline?

In my opinion huge downline does not neccessary means huge number of active affiliates...but mathematically probably chances are higher.
It would be the best having them answered this question and revealed their secret.
But here is my best guess:
1. Amount of time devoted to SFI.
2. Excellent advertizing skills (very often related to previous experience).
3. Following and mastering advertizing and sponsoring techniques presented by SFI. And very often inovating their own.
4.

For “management” of your downline SFI has provided several powerful tools:

1. Genealogy
2. Movers list - which we also can say is an element of the Genealogy
3. Stream
4. Team Mail
5. Chat
6. Affiliate Manager : START/CONTACT/CHECKLIST/NOTES/ACTIVITY/UPLINE
7. TC Sales Report

Your question addresses only a large, active downline but allow me to expand it to other categories as well.

For addressing inactive affiliates I mostly use

Probably there will be tons of arguments copied/pasted from the W3 page. And those are valid ones.
However, let it put it this way:
1. There is no point in convincing someone to get it if you personally have not purchased it. Leading by example is one of the key motivators.
2. Remind your PSA how much it costs to buy 1 TCredit...and with W3 they get 5 each month.
3. Remind your PSA how they can utilize MRPs...126 MRP is to buy 1TCredit and that is 102VP. And they will get 50 each

Time is always limited..sometimes I wish there were 25 hrs within a day.
But if you organize yourself properly you can manage all the planned activities.
1. You have to decide what is that time available for this business.
2. You have to set your goals realistically and match them to your time available.
3. You can always adjust your, either time or goals along the way.
4. Stay focused which is very important when your time is limited.
5. Make a plan..But also have in

What do you do with affiliates who never do anything--despite your constant encouragement and offers of support?

Firstly, you as a good sponsor provided them with assistance and advice. If there is no response you should not feel bad about yourself in any case. Despite all your efforts some people will not move for many reasons.

But also there should be a balance in the amount of encouragement and offering support. If it is too often it can be perceived by some people as a sort of pressure.

You have given them opportunity to build their own business and if they do not want to use that

As I build my downline, what are the common mistakes I need to avoid?

It is difficult to say what the common mistakes are since what might not work for you could work for me and other way around.
But let me present my view (not as a priority list)
1. Frustration - to be avoided. I remember the excitement with new PSA registering and then a huge disappointment when they do did not move at all. Get over it and keep working.
2. Learning from mistakes - If something is not working check why it is so, and then find a new way. If your downline is not growing

This is very common question and there will be lots of similar answers here.
I would highlight the way I focus my work to get Action VP.
1. VP Ledger is my daily checklist/reminder. Every single day I go through it and see if I missed/overlooked anything from it.
2. Related to the above I do my DAILY, WEEKLY,MONTHLY actions.
3. I develop and encourage my downline to move up the ladder so I get LEADERSHIP AND SUPPORT VP (Action VP)
4. I submit answers to ASK SC hoping that

When I signed up I imediately went through START, SFI BASICS and LAUNCHPAD buttons. Everything is more or less there. So I did not ask sponsor so much about everything. Now, sponsor might assist if an affiliate did not undersand something from there.

If a sponsor does not respond to an affiliate's questions then there is a co-sponsor, a2a friends, forum, ASK SC, and I truly believe that at least one of these resources will provide sufficient assistance to keep your business working.

How do you get your affiliates to approach their SFI business realistically, like a real business, and not some get unrealistic rich quick scheme?

You state that from the very start so they are aware of that. When I advertize I keep telling that this is not a get rich quick scheme.

Now, we are all aware what the overall percentage of sign-ups who will be our diamonds is. These will understand what SFI is and they will follow your guidance until they are able to run their SFI life on their own.

On the other side there are some others who will never neither understand nor act, no matter what you do. So do not worry.
