I think a good way is to tell your family about your activity, not only once but all the time when you have a relaxation moment, when you drink coffee together, when you chat while you watch TV or when you have lunch or dinner together. Believe me they will feel your enthusiasm as you speak about your own business and how good it is not to have a boss, about all the nice things you sell and you can buy from the online store which a successful one because other people already took care of it.
At first, you tell them about SFI and tell them what is it about, then you should tell them about your activities every day, you should show them on the computer about the SFI and TripleClicks, about the Pricebenders bids and the Eager Zebra games, why not to invite them to play this games and to bid with you, show them how you bid. Every time you win VPs, or a contest as T-Time or Daily Crown Drawings, tell them, show them, share with them about all these.
I do the same and my husband asks me about my activity and about the business all the time. I share with my family the excitement when I win in contests and I also show them my ECA store and I ask for their opinion regarding the ECA products, I ask for help for the photos to upload in the store and also for the products details.
You will notice they will be very happy to help.
I hope this was helpful and I wish you only good luck!

Hi,
First you should have a look back in 2015 and review all your activity regarding this matter. As our leaders teach us to lead by example and we take them as our closest example in our activity, you should do the same. You are the teacher, you are your PSAs leader, you are the one who advice them so you should be the first one ho applies what you teach . I see you have a S.O., I see lots of very nice badges won through hard work, I see you are active and continuous since 2014 so CONGRATULATIONS! They should follow your example!
Second, you should know that not all of the people are made to be entrepreneurs, leaders, not all of them are willing to invest, some of them are simply not made to have their own business, so it is not your fault if lots become inactive from the first, second, 3rd, 4th ...etc day. Some of the people subscribe just from curiousity and they find out it is not what they wanted. But you still have to go on as you did before: send welcome e-Cards, tips e-cards, weekly e-mails, to stream the same as efore, maybe even more and not just to win the weekly VPs, you have to continue on winning badges and VPs as before or maybe even more, you still have to invest in your own business.
Third, you still have to continue to read, learn and teach as before or maybe a little more, because leaders are readers and they should be informed and they should learn so they could be able to teach others and answer questions.
Communciation is very important and maybe you should consider sending e-mails to those who stopped their activity asking what is wrong, if you can help, you should remind them the reason why they subscribed in SFI,
In the end, a leader, just as a teacher works more with his top people and doesn't waste longer time than he should with the ones who prefer to stay at the end of the class and don't do their homework, he invests time and prices in the ones who show interest and helps them so he would have great results.
I just hope i was helpful to you and i wish you have a very successful 2016.

Hi,
Yes this might be a big problem for you and your tem if you wouldn't be preocupied to be a god team leader.
Team leaders are the first example for their team, they lead by example, they never ask their affiliates to do what they have never done.
So you gotta do your daily actions, be present in the forum, answer questions in Asc SC, rate answers, learn learn learn so you could teach others, to be present in your community.
Team leaders have to communicate with their team, send e-mails, news, help , give information and advice, to spread optimism through his team, encourage.
I think the most important skills for a team leader are communication and knowledge.
So keep learning and communicating so you could inspire your PSAs.

First of all the most important decision was made by yourself: to join SFI. Yes, if your family would agree and embrace your SFI business would be great for your state of mind and the fact that they support you brings contentment. You all would discuss the success plan and what would be the next step to make for each of you.....wow!
When the family is skeptical regarding this kind of business because they want you to have a normal job or they think all these internet business are scams, or the online payments are fake.
In this second case you shouldn't be affected, you should continue your activity with no problem for few months until you start to have a nice incomes and then you can show them your payments and the new position you achieved in the SFI as a BTL, STL or GTL, explain them the advantages . They might change their minds and follow you or they might continue to be skeptical and in this case you should also continue your activity not bothered because , after all , you are the one who makes the decisions regarding what to do and how to earn money .
If you really really want your family in the business, don't be pushy, time solves everything and they will decide. Just talk with them about it and show them, from time to time, the activity, prizes earned and payments.
I hope I managed to help you a little bit and I wish you only success!

Hi,
I am glad you are interested to recruit people face to face, this means lots of self confidence, knowledge about the business, some experience not only regarding the SFI but also working with people.
Every person has it's own goals and interests, so at firs you must start a relaxing conversation and bring the the possible client to gain some confidence in you. This means you need to know how to speak with every one, with simple people you need to communicate in a simple way and with complicated people you have to communicate a little bit more elevated.
You don't have to be a psychologist but to find some information about the person you are talking with in very few questions.
At the beginning of the meeting it is your time to talk and ask questions, but don't speak too much to confuse the person. You need to know how to point what is important and the advantages of SFI and at the same time what could interest mostly the possible client.
Working ' on the field' as we use to say , is hard many many will refuse you or wouldn't even want to hear what you have to say, but every refuse from them will strengthen you , don't ever let yourself down.
You also have to take a look in the mirror before you go to the meeting, you should be propely dressed, business clothes, you should be clean and pleasant, you should talk with yourself in the mirror , encourage yourself, smile all the time, have " the attitude" , people should see in you the success, no arrogance . You should be competent from all points of view.
So I think a person who just entered for a month in SFI and became EA is not yet ready to go and recruit people on the field, I think you need at least 3 months of work in front of your computer , of reading, learning and informing.
Yes, a beginner could recruit family and close friends, as we call it the warm market, but for other people you don't know well, work mates, friends of friends and strangers ( the cold market), you have to be professional.
So get THE ATTITUDE, your knowledge, the self confidence and get out there!
I hope i was helpful :)

Hi,
In my opinion you should use all the possible ways you have to communicate with your downline.
You have the Team Mailer, PSA Mailer, CSA Mailer, Genealogy Mailer which I consider the best. Don't send only weekly mails, send every time you have to transmit a message, you need to encourage your PSAs and CSAs.
You also can use the chat here on SFI's page, you can send private emails as you have your team mates mails in their profiles, use the phone ( if they completed the phone numbers in their profiles), and you can also use Facebook, Twitter, if they completed these in their profile page.
Personally I think the best way to communicate with your new PSAs is , first , to send welcome e-cards when they join the team, then you send them the group team e-mails with tips and advice encouraging at the same time, with your details ( phone number, email address, your link to the leadership page), then you contact through telephone or through messenger the ones who show their interest in the business and are active.You should not lose any occasion to keep in touch with your team, be opened and tell them all the time you want and can help them, ask them what they need, how could you help them.
Thus I hope that I was of help :).

Hi!
You should prospect people from everywhere to become affiliates because it would increase your chances to find more and more PSAs who will work good and become EAs.
I am not for long time in SFI and I prospected from many many countries and my best PSAs are not from my own country, not because they wouldn't do a good job, but the number of people from my country here on SFI is not that big.
The more people you prospect, the more chances you have and you never know where from the good results will come.
I wish you great success in your work!

Hi!
I have to say I am not that old in SFI and I have hard times with my team too. I have a team, I advertise and my team leader helps me a lot with the PSAs in my team, but yet they have no results. I write them team emails, I send them tips e-cards, I send them personal emails, but yet nothing. But I want to tell you that with all these, I have managed to maintain my BTL status. I have a SO of 1500 VPs and the rest I make by logging on every day, solving the daily tasks, I write answers to questions in the Asc SC section ( my answers were in the first 10 answers voted and I gained 25VPs), I buy one or two items from TripleClicks every month, cheap ones that are nice and I can make gifts or things that I need in the house( so I gain VPs buying) and then, after 15 days I write the reviews for these items and gain other VPs ( 25VPs for each review).
You can also bid in Pricebenders and win MRPs and then you can play online or buy other items like TCredits so you could bid or play online and win other wonderful prices.
You can make somewhere between 14 and 20 VPs a day and so you get more entries for the Daily Grant Drawings where you can win more VPs or MRPs. You also can play the T-Time drawings every hour and win 2TCredits and then you can play or bid and win VPs. There are so many posibilities, you can buy Gift Cards and you can win 10 VPs for each Gift Card. You can also become an ECA and with the products you sell you win VPs, there are so many ways to win VPs.
The problem is not making the VPs to keep maintaining your status, but to find at least one PSA wiling to work persistently, the problem is to be a good manager.
Don't discourage yourself and keep the good work, persistence is one of the keys in SFI and the team work. Keep advertising on the social sites and keep advertising in the publicity newspapers, in the jobs newspapers, you will see that you will be rewarded with a good team. SFI is about team work, about doing your tasks every day without quitting. When you work hard you win VPs, MRPs, PSAs, which it is absolutely fantastic! Yesterday I won a life time domain and I will use it for advertising on Facebook, Twitter, Linkedin, on my personal site and the traffic exchange sites.
I hope I was useful and I wish you only good luck ( which is hard consitent work)!

With the new advertising tool and the new rules, I will definitely concentrate on duplication, which is very important for us, on team building, on sponsoring and supporting my affiliates and my CSAs.
I am not for long here but I realized it is not enough just to complete the daily tasks.
Yes, the basis will have to remain the basis, we will have to keep doing the daily tasks, to keep writing and reading the forum, the Asc SC, to keep giving reviews, but the things that makes us real marketing people are duplicating and advertising.
I will also advertise more, on traffic exchange sites, on social sites, on free and paid sites for publicity of my ECA, the products on TripleClicks and to bring more affiliates in my business.
I will invest a little bit more and I will try to sell more products in my ECA.
I will continue to read and inform myself every day, I will continue to learn and to complete the to-do list.
I have already changed my SO and will focus on team building and sponsoring and advertising, so I will spend much more time to make a better marketing plan and follow it.
I wish you a better year for 2016!

Once you have reached this level ( congratulations by the way) , there are lots of possibilities opened:

1. Continue what you did to reach the level, this means to solve the daily to-do list where you can earn daily, weekly and monthly VPs;

2. Bid, continue to bid and keep looking for the bids with DP so you could win double MRPs and buy Tcredits with these reward points without investing anything else.

3. As you bid. you also earn TCs even if you spend TCs so in the end you lose nothing, you only win;

4. Play the EAGER ZEBRA games as you start with 2 free games in few of them and earn MRPs and other prizes.

5. You can earn 300 VPs each month by distributing gift cards to friends and persons whom you would like to find out about the SFI business.

Very important is to read and inform yourself reading as much as you can from the Forum and the Training materials so you would know what you have to do to win TCs, MRP and not the last thing to increase your incomes selling products, which means you should become an ECA yourself and also refer ECAs because this is the reason we are here, isn't it? To make the second income!
You also have to work to increase the number of the members of your team, because they bring important earnings and they will help you susceed with the business.
It is every day work and you need to spend few hours a day for reading materials, to bid, to play online, to promote your products, to increase the team behind you,
I just hope I didn' scare you and the information was useful. I wish you good luck !
